Interior Design Trends

As a designer, I cannot ignore the ever-developing trends in the world of modern interior designs. More than a fashion, which can be the creation of a new chair or a new colour effect that receives huge initial public accolade, trends embody a profound change in behaviour or attitude that significantly affects more and more people, who then incorporate it into their lives.

This, often subtle shift is based on concepts and visions, initiated by designers in our exciting world of modern interior designs, and encompasses many aspects, such as colours, materials, shapes, effects, and different spatial environments. Articles in this category cover all aspects of trend and its influence on modern interior designs.

Often a trend begins influencing one element of design, such as fashion and, depending on its power and appeal, it then overlaps gradually into modern interior designs. It’s this gradual process that sets a trend apart from a fashion, which makes a strong initial impact but is followed by an immediate and rapid decline. Trends take longer to be accepted and their effect is deeper and longer lasting, penetrating social and aesthetic conceptions.

When I work with clients I find that most people have ideas and a vision that have been influenced by current trends, even though they may not consciously be aware of it. I encourage clients to incorporate and adapt trends to their designs rather than be dictated by them. I emphasise that trend is a metamorphic process made up of the sum of many parts, and I urge clients to concentrate on the elements that appeal to them so that together we create something unique and aspirational.

Trends fascinate and occasionally surprise me, and I draw an incredible amount of inspiration from them. They guide, motivate and open doors to new style and yet still offer opportunity for individual expression. Throughout my career, I have been thrilled, frustrated, excited, and moved by trends, but each one has made a profound impact on my work and moved me to create some of my best designs.

As a designer of modern interior designs I embrace the changing world I work in and am proud to help clients contribute to its exciting and inspiring evolution.
