Good Decorating is made up of many factors. • Taste • Value • Style • Individuality • Comfort • Convenience
What is Good Taste? • Suitability of objects and the manner in which they are blended.
How do you acquire good taste? • Learn the principles and elements of design. Apply them repeatedly until they become second nature to you. • Observe good design in magazines, books, sample homes, historic homes, etc. • Practice analyzing good room designs to see if they have followed the principles and elements of design. • Learn about accessories and how they project taste. • Be discriminating – don’t follow fads. • Good taste is not determined by cost. Taste is a sense of what is appropriate to your way of life.
