- Innovative design often involves breaking traditional rules
and modernizing processes, leading to a blend of high, medium, and
low elements that create a captivating and personalized
aesthetic.
- Professionalism in interior design is crucial, with clear
contracts and defined roles ensuring that designers are treated
with the same respect and seriousness as other professionals like
doctors or architects.
- Embracing personal style and looking inward for design
inspiration rather than following trends or others' choices can
lead to unique and authentic interiors that truly reflect the
individual's lifestyle and preferences.
