The Interior Design Business Podcast LIVE at Design Central North West 2024
Join presenters Jeff Hayward and Susie Rumbold for a live, topical discussion to enhance your skills and success as an interior designer.
Trends: The Interior Designer’s Friend or Foe?
In this discussion, Jeff Hayward and Susie Rumbold from the Interior Design Business Podcast will explore the relationship between interior design, cultural, fashion and behavioral trends with Helen Knox from Lewis Knox and Jennifer Williams from Mon Interiors. This discussion delves into the benefits and drawbacks of trends on interior designers. When do they inspire creativity and ensure relevance, and when do they stifle individuality and expression? How should designers balance trend awareness in their work, or is that even possible or desirable? And at what point do trends evolve into lasting behavioral change that becomes a natural part of every designer’s thought process? This talk will take place in front of a live audience of designers.
