For $reasons some bright spark from the telly played an unexpected burst of 'Pop looks Bach'.

So I guess it's wrong that I rather liked almost all those rooms in the photos. I would gladly own an Eames coat rack.

Nope. That's the wonder of interior design - I know damn fine that all the stuff that works for me only works for me.

I think the 'problem' I have with that sequence of interiors is that they're rather too 'studied' - there's an almost Ballardian feeling about them which makes me think that someone's forgotten the 'living in' part of 'Machines for living in'.

Of course, my own choices are equally studied. The notion of an authentic experience is inherently ludicrous.

Is what you have interior design, or just an organically developed interior comprising Stuff That Takes Your Fancy? My home is an exterior representation of my brain. Dusty corners, eclectic ornamental bits and pieces, furniture of many different types and ages, piles of Stuff/books lying about haphazardly, and shabby decor (walls are what hold the ceiling up and are for attaching things to. What, I have to think about them as things in their own right?).

FWIW, whilst all my friends' homes have aspects I like/love/admire, yours is the only one that I connect with in a sort of "this environment is related to me".
