Space Sharing…Designers do it Differently!

Invited to a party at the home of someone with design training and feeling all is not quite right?

Designing training causes us to find different aspects of interiors familiar—and we like what’s familiar.

This means that designers may choose options for their own homes, etc., that seem novel or unusual compared to those freely chosen by people with less training.

Being an expert can also cause us to see the world differently, quite literally.   People who have designing training may pay attention to things such as the stitching on sofa cushions that people without their training just do not pick up—which is all fine if those stitches are straight and the same size, etc., but not so good if they’re out of alignment or otherwise wonky.
