The Avian Flew

 

People often talk about certain designers having “a good eye”.  But this is not really what makes a good designer.  Everyone has an eye for what they think is beautiful or unique.  What differentiates a talented designer is the ability to tell a story through a single object or room.

Finding cohesion in a room (tying all of your favorite things together with a common story) is what will make a room look “designed” as opposed to having merely a collection of things.

In a prior post we talked about using shape as a way to bring a room together. Here we tell a “story” in the same room using a different element. Notice that even though bird motifs play a major role in this room, the story is not too obvious. Sometimes you want a design feature to hit you over the head and stop you in your tracks, and other times, subtlety is the goal
