My father-in-law, who is a contractor, has been helping to renovate our bathroom, told me this in regards to the design:
...think with your eyes, not your brain.
This is so perfectly suited for so many things. Rules, theory, plans help to lay a foundation but can obscure our way. When something "looks" wrong, despite being proven by theory or rule, it probably is wrong. If it looks wrong it needs to be fixed even if it only makes our eyes feel better.
