Don’t buy your taste. Find it.
Don’t buy your taste. Find it.
Taste isn’t built by collecting what is expensive, fashionable, or approved by others. It develops slowly through looking, trying, rejecting, and noticing what you keep returning to.
So is design.
It’s easy to choose what is safe, neutral and timeless. Much harder to understand what you genuinely like and have the confidence to design around it.
Character comes from that process. From choices that are considered, personal and imperfect.
Good taste isn’t knowing what everyone likes. It’s knowing what you like, and why.
