Saw this moments ago.
How does this apply to people who are designing their homes?
If you have good taste and are doing a significant project, make the most of it by involving someone who has already fought their way through to “good.” If you spend your personal decorating budget on initiating a personal fight to the creative side, your space will become a long-term, awfully expensive testament to the above-mentioned “gap” that everyone pushes through on their way to goodness. Let a professional who’s already made it to the other side help you make better decisions that more powerfully express your taste.
This is Style Genius advocating for interior designers on a home improvement Sunday. We want you to make kick-ass decisions.

"We are constantly called upon to make decisions that, in a sense, give our taste away. The fact is that we take it seriously, not only as an ornament of life but as one of its almost inescapable problems. Taste is our personal delight, our private dilemma, and our public façade."
Russell Lynes, The Tastemakers, circa 1930s

"There are living-room critics—efficiency experts who probably Xerox on both sies of the paper and use their soap till it’s as thin as tissue—who relieve their personal anxieties by insisting that the world should operate efficiently. The idea of dedicating an expensive piece of real estate to Keeping Up Appearances is as extraterrestrial to them as having two sets of china, one for “everyday” and one for “Good."

Excerpt from The Common Life, by W. H. Auden
A living room … confronts
each visitor with a style,
a secular faith: he compares its dogmas
with his, and decides where
he would like to see more of us.
Theme: Linear by Peter Vidani
