My design philosphy is that there is no right or wrong. It all boils down to what you like. While what you choose may or may not be appealing to others, in the end, it doesn't really matter . . . . beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. That said, however, I think there is a difference between good and not so good design. To me, a good design is one in which there is a sense of peace. I don't want to feel uneasy or awkard in a space. The space should feel full but not overstuffed. It should have some new and some old, some color and texture and make me feel happy. I also think great light is essential. While I myself prefer natural southern exposure, good light does not have to equal a lot of light. It's what's appropriate for the space, use and mood you want to set. Soft light may be appropriate for a formal dining space, while bright light for a childrens room or craft room.
It's important to remember that when you design a space it's not mine so if the style the client wants isn't exactly my taste, I have to put that aside, and create a space that fulfills the needs of the client. So the one most important thing I would use to define my design philosphy is to listen to the client and create what's right for them.
