As the noted interior designer John Wheatman has written in his book A Good House Is Never Done, a living space can be “an ongoing outlet for creative expression.” His philosophy suggests that interior design is not a static proposition but one that can evolve as a home’s inhabitants evolve—that a home can be freshened from time to time to reflect and stay in sync with the people who live in those spaces and the changes that may occur in their lives. Such changes may be as fundamental as the reality of kids moving out, or a change in a relationship, or simply a desire to use the spaces in different ways, whether for a creative pursuit or an in-home business enterprise. Rather than be daunted by this kind of approach, Wheatman encourages people to embrace it, to have fun with it, and simply to think of interior design as “an ongoing engagement with the fascinating business of daily life.”
