Simple Subtle Elegance

I tend to notice different aspects of design, and the style I tend to like the most ends up being centered around a simple and subtle elegance. I prefer this over something that consists of many ornate or extremely complicated patterns. Too often the ornate draws your attention, but the details remain on the surface and although they might have depth in their details it is usually very obvious at first glance. I find that the simple and subtle details are what I appreciate more with time, because when a subtle and simple design is used to emphasize elegance, the details are not on the surface but buried into the slight variations and over time you discover more of those subtle variations. It's appreciation may not be instantly recognized and impressive at first, but it tends to grow over time and retain a longer lasting and precious quality.
