The Maximalism trend is so much fun! It's all about embracing bold patterns, vibrant colors, and an eclectic mix of furnishings. It's a delightful rebellion against the notion that less is more. Trend you'd be happy to move on from? I'm ready to bid adieu to the obsession with overly trendy and disposable furniture. It is defi nitely something I'd like to see less of. It's important to invest in quality pieces that stand the test of time, both in terms of aesthetics and durability. I generally prefer a more sustainable approach to design. I can't live without: Coffee! It's my creative fuel. I may be an interior designer, but coffee is the real interior decorator in my life. Plus, it helps me see the tiny details that need a little extra love!

My mind is fi lled with endless possibilities and, of course, a whole lot of creativity. I'm excited about the evolving design trends that are bound to shape the year ahead. My top-of-mind thought for 2024 is: Let's paint this year with even more beautiful interiors and happy clients! 84 FALL 2 0 2 3 PHOTO AND RENDERING: DON RIDDLEAND COURTESY SUOMI DESIGN WORKS
