Show Notes
Interior designers use trends to create designs that reflect current tastes. They often incorporate new interior design materials, colors, styles, and textures into their designs to create modern, updated spaces that introduce the current trends.
The client brief is what guides the extent that including current trends in Interior Design occurs. Sometimes clients want minimal trend pieces added to their spaces. This client will then have the option to easily change out these pieces when a new trend comes. Items such as scatter cushions and decorator pieces work in this instance. On other occasions a client may want their interior design to be completely on trend and current. It's often in Commercial applications when this happens.
They may also integrate high-tech appliances and fixtures for a contemporary feel. Additionally, interior designers follow emerging trends in the industry, such as green building, energy-efficient appliances, and sustainable materials, to offer clients eco-friendly options.
A Interior Designer is trained in working trends into a variety of Interior Styles seamlessly or in some cases to create interest and friction.
In residential design, trends can be introduced in full or in part with a contemporary or traditional base for the investment or larger pieces of furniture and then trends can be threaded through with decor items such as scatter cushions, decorator accessories, art and rugs.

Episode Title - Sharing My Design Thinking: Inside a Recent Project
Welcome to The My Decorator Show, where we explore how to create homes that look beautiful, feel welcoming and truly work for the way you live.
Welcome to The My Decorator Show, where we explore how to create homes that actually work for the life you’re living. In this episode, we explore what slow living can look like in interior design — and why creating a home you love doesn’t always begin with buying something new. From shopping your own home first to avoiding isolated purchases, we look at how pausing before making decisions can help you create a more considered, cohesive and personal home. We also explore why good interior design is about more than choosing beautiful things. It’s about understanding how you actually live, considering your home as a whole, and creating a clear direction for the changes you want to make over time. If your home no longer feels quite right but you’re unsure where to begin, a Design Consultation is the ideal first step. Together, we can look at how you live throughout your home, what is and isn’t working, what could be adapted or repurposed, and where thoughtful changes could make the biggest difference.
Welcome to The My Decorator Show, where we explore how to create homes that actually work for the life you’re living.

These aren’t styling tips or trends. They’re the underlying decisions that shape how a space works day to day — and why some rooms feel effortless, while others don’t. If you’re planning changes in your home and want clarity before making decisions, a Design Consultation is the ideal first step. We look at how you live now, identify what’s not working, and map a clear direction forward — so your home supports the way you actually live.
