Interior decoration of House - Importance of good taste

INTERIOR DECORATION

A simple house can be made to look attractive by decorating its interior tastefully. When our home looks beautiful, we feel happy and proud. According to Keats, ' A thing of beauty is a joy forever'.

One's imagination, good taste and aesthetic sense are very much needed to have a good interior. Interior decoration is a creative art of adjusting the space and equipment to suit the fundamental and cultural needs of the dwellers.

Importance of good taste

Taste differs from person to person. The taste is reflected by the things a person buys. A thing may or may not be appreciated by all individuals equally. Certain arrangements attract the viewers for longer periods while some arrangements attract for shorter periods. Whatever the care may be, taste of the person who has created that particular piece of work is reflected through his or her creation.

Art and good taste go together like the jasmine and its

fragrance. There are general characteristics found in beautiful things that establish certain principles. Any piece of art that satisfies the principles is always admired by all. One should have the knowledge of the principles fundamental to good taste. Based on this, he can identify and appreciate beauty. Now let us deal with the elements of art.

In formulating a design, two groups namely 

the elements of art

and principles of design emerge. Design is defined as any arrangement of lines, forms, colours and textures. It involves the

problem of choosing these forms and colours and then arranging them.

A good design shows an orderly arrangement of the materials and creates beauty in the finished product.
