When it comes to high style in the home, we LOVE to watch. There's something just so satisfying about seeing a home go from gaudy to gorgeous, in under an hour.

A whole industry has sprung up to push you to greater heights of home decor, but in the face of the home-design onslaught Q dares to ask the question:

Are our homes actually becoming more stylish - or just more homogenous?

And, isn't "good" taste just a matter of personal preference? (Hey, I like my giant vinyl couch...)

Design defences, and confessions, welcome.
