Finding inspiration can sometimes be a challenge. "What should I use as my inspiration?" "Do I really need something to be inspired by?" "What inspiration do you use when designing a space for your clients?" These are just a few questions I hear from my clients. What I tell them is simply this: "Inspiration is a personal choice and it depends on the person. My job as a designer is to tap into my client's sense of style and highlight and bring it to life."
It may be a wonderful piece of pottery that was purchased at their favorite flea market or a photo of a special bed and breakfast that they spent a romantic weekend at. When clients don't have anything specific that is when I need to get creative and really listen to their wants. I have found by asking the right questions I can find inspiration in almost every situation.
Learning to enhance my client's "inner designer" has been my biggest challenge but greatest reward. I am obsessed with color, texture, fabrics, furnishings, accessories, you name it I LOVE it. Every moment of my day is looking for inspiration no matter where I am. I am inspired by nature, pottery, fabrics, art, architecture, and design itself. I can look at a group of wild flowers nestled in a field and see an amazing design scheme.
Bottom line is to go with what you love, your personal style and taste. Designing a space can be rewarding and fun.
