INSPIRATION

Inspiration, though an easy concept, can sometimes be difficult to find.

Inspiration can be seen all around us!

We cannot take credit for mother natures beautiful design, but we can use it as inspiration for our interior spaces. There is a huge cry from our planet and we need to be the answer to bring more life and sustainable design into our interior spaces. We have been privileged to see how technology has changed our lives, but spending most of our time indoors means we have the responsibility as designers to create a better flow from outside to inside.

We have to be the change we want to see in this world!

Furthermore, when I am working on a new project, the first and biggest hurdle can often be where I derive my information from. Through many years in a design industry, the search for inspiration has shifted from print ie. magazines to digital ie. Pinterest.

The first and most important thing to do is engage in the right conversations with a client to get a feel for their style and vibe. Side note: Before the word "vibe" became so popular, I don't know how we referred to something that gave off emotions and visual representation, but I digress.

Once we get a feel for the vibe of our clients, we quickly start putting together images. These images don't directly relate to interior or exterior spaces, but more abstract in order to emphasize the vibe the space will give off. Through this, we can search for small windows of interior spaces that really reflect the inspiration / vibe using color, style, patterns, etc.

There are so many great photo resources now - there really is no lack of information. The most important and challenging part now is sorting through all of it!
