as a designer i am instantly drawn to aesthetically pleasing interiors. this may seem superficial at first but i know that instincts mean something. i believe that our instincts or intuition are related to our inner desires. our desires are related to what we want. when i think about having white walls and white furniture to our future home with our future family, i know that it is not practical or something i would actually implement.
i love how white walls and white furniture open up spaces and allude the feeling of relaxation, sophistication, chicness and openness but white furniture and white walls are not user-friendly. i feel that the maintenance would drive me to be a little uptight in my own home because i would be concerned with keeping those white elements white. however, one great thing about being a designer is that i understand what i love about these white interior space re-pins and i can work on finding another way to create that feeling through alternate elements in my future home. here is an example of what i instinctively love and what is practical love...
instinct love

the moral of the story is when you instinctively love something (i.e. interiors, furniture, art, color, fashion, etc.) but learn that it may not work out practically, ask yourself why and then dig a little deeper and think about how it makes you feel. the answers to these questions will make you more informed about your needs and design selections.
