1 Home for me is...
First of all, inner peace. Over time, as I got to know myself better, I realized that it is not only the space itself that is important, but also the atmosphere we create in it. Relationships with the people with whom we share the place give it real meaning.
2 The key to successful interior design is.
Understanding the needs and preferences of the users of a space and skillfully combining functionality with aesthetics. The interior should not only be beautiful, but also practical, adapted to the lifestyle and personality of the residents.
3. inspiration I look for...
I don't really look for them. They come by themselves at the least expected moments. While traveling, socializing and training, both at home and abroad. All this opens new horizons for me and gives birth to interesting ideas. Participation in various events gives me access to trends and innovations, and every moment spent with passionate people becomes a valuable source of inspiration for me. I try to be open to the world around me, because there is potential for creative thinking. Each of these experiences provides me with fresh ideas and enriches my perspective.
4 In cooperation with an investor the most important thing is....
Mutual trust and a similar sense of aesthetics. These are the elements that allow a smooth and fruitful implementation of the project.
5. my favorite design style is...
I like minimalism, modern classic, japanese and mid-century modern, because each of these styles uniquely combines elegance with comfort. I love to experiment and follow the principle that every space should be a reflection of the personality of its users. I value coziness and care about details, because they are what give interiors their unique character. After all, there is a reason why they say that the devil is in the details - in interior design this saying has never been truer!
The 6th most important item in my home is....
Laptop, because it is integral to the execution of projects, concepts, visualizations or technical documentation. Thanks to it I can realize my ideas and transform them into concrete solutions. I do some projects remotely, which makes the laptop my main working tool.
7 The most common mistake when doing interior design on your own is.
Wanting to mix too many random things, resulting in a lack of cohesion. This approach can make the space chaotic and unpleasant to the eye. It is worth remembering that a beautiful interior is one that maintains harmony and consistency in the choice of colors or materials. The key to a successful arrangement is the ability to select elements that harmonize with each other and form a coherent whole. Well thought-out combinations not only emphasize the character of the interior, but also make it more functional and cozy.
8 My favorite material is....
Stone. It is a natural raw material that charms me with its diversity and durability. Unique textures and colors make all its forms unique. Stone adds elegance to spaces and is timeless. It blends perfectly with both modern and classic styles.
9 A trend I wish would pass away already is.
The combination of gray with wood. This combination dominated interior design for a long time, fortunately, it is already losing popularity. More and more often we reach for warm, natural shades that bring a cozy atmosphere. Beiges, browns and soft pastels harmoniously harmonize with wood in its natural form, creating friendly interiors.
10 I would like, someday to live in....
In Sicily, because this place fascinates me with its unique culture and picturesque landscapes. I imagine mornings spent strolling through the charming streets of Palermo, where I could enjoy local specialties. It would be the perfect opportunity to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the surrounding nature!
