Best Designs of Arlotta Design Group of 2018
It’s clear that most designers follow some common trends.
An overwhelming consensus is that it’s important to let the client’s personality show in the design.
Some designers are choosing to adopt a contemporary baseline and then adding classic or modern elements in their design.
Light is a very important factor. Does the design warrant artificial lighting? Or should it be natural light that should be allowed to flow through the design area?
Did you like the work of anyone especially? Or did you spot a trend that you like? Feel free to comment below and get a lively discussion going on the interior designer to watch out for in 2019.
