The objects collected in your home are valued – yet that value is changing. Value is generationally relative to the speed and changeability of life in the 21st century.
Attitudes about “home” historically have changed through the generations; what your grandparents thought was necessary for a proper household is not what your kids think. The value of a material possession is no longer its WORTH.
‘Worthy’ value is defined in 2018 as contributing to the ease of living, the range of adaptability, style, utility and functionality of a home. These descriptives do not apply to treasures such as formal china, cut crystal, or plush Persian rugs.
Taste, in what defines, warms, and decorates a home, for a family and its guests, is shifting, along with the winds of a new aesthetic.
Value was once implicit in certain objects we lived with. Now, objects hold explicit values- just think of the technology in your Millennial son’s home!
