There are lots of answers to this question! I’ll just chime in with one tip: the more you look, the better you see. I look at things, some inspiring, some not so much, all day, every day, and that trains me to know when I like something and it fits into my style, versus just liking something because it’s a shiny object.

For example, you could look at your wardrobe to see if you gravitate toward certain colors, materials, shapes, textures, etc., and then consider bringing those into your home. Or, maybe it’s less literal than that. Maybe think about how your favorite poem makes you feel and brainstorm what kinds of furniture shapes and layout options would give you that feeling. If you do this all the time [as an exercise; you don’t have to constantly redesign your home], you’ll get better as sussing out what feels right and how to attain it.

IN addition, how DOES a person develop their own eye, and learn how to bring their own tastes into a design?

I giggled at that this morning. It’s textbook Jess, her misspellings are always so cute. I am not worried about AI taking over the world because our fricking devices can’t even figure out how to autocorrect misspelled words!
