Myself I love clean lines and not over exposure of nick nacks. But as we journey further down the path of decorating we will find clients who love the smaller things in life. The little bear figureine that was won by a daughter at a county fair all different kinds of little things. How do we as professionals try and make these clients understand that cluttering up spaces is not a very attractive thing. I find that as I walk through homes and find these things I find that it makes sense to see them as they are very personal but as a professional it makes my heart sad when there is a great space and it's cluttered up. We must as professionals believe that we can make a difference and how we manage this is for discussion. We all have different opinions and I'd love to hear more from other people regarding this matter and all matters when it comes to design and decorating.

There is very little that everyone would agree upon when it comes to style and decor: I mean, just look at the popularity of plaid sofas. Or for that matter, look at how happily some men are in their bachelor pads. One of my great hopes for the Stylehound blog is to discuss these differences, and to try and determine if there is anything universal about what looks good---but the joy is in the process of discovery, not necessarily in the answer.

We must realize that style to one is not necessarily the same for others. As we progress through our journey of interior decorating and design we must take into consideration the many things that got us this far. We must always work to achieve a beautiful experience for the client. As time goes on we must always have in our hearts the following which is what I strive for with my business. "Making Your Home A Beautiful Experience", remembering this I try from my heart to make my clients expectations come true. I agree that style is more than just a single opinion.

True style ranges over a wide gradient, with different people thinking different things are stylish. What is tacky to one can be cool to another. In fact, defining some things as stylish (good, beautiful) and others as ugly, limits our thinking, and restricts our ability to be creative I think style is more than just a single opinion.
