We aim to bring specialists, architects, and designers closer to you every day, inspiring you with their ideas and suggestions, enriching you with each shared design.
Today, Miruna Ardelean, architect and trainer at Atelierele Ilbah, accepted our invitation to talk about design, its influence on our lives, and especially the trends we are heading towards this year in interior design.
Opening the GalleryDesign educates me and I always feel overwhelmed with emotion when I discover new things in our field. We must always be curious to discover as much as possible. Our continuous development is very important. The most wonderful gift that nature has given us is that we can exist within it, that we can serve ourselves from it.
It's a pity, however, that we devote so little time to knowing in detail the essence of the places that surround us. Life is made to touch things, to taste thousands of flavors or to smell thousands of ingredients. To do things with discernment and to care about what we have at hand.
Education comes from inner balance, the balance that your family imprints on you and that you constantly try to achieve at all costs as you grow. Respecting our identity and the things around us has become essential.
At every step, we must discover beauty and encourage specialists to care for architecture, cleanliness, and sought-after design.
I have always said that design must be functional but also sought after. Assumed, framed in context, elegant or conversely natural, old or new but sought after. The search I am talking about is based on the continuous education of our interior, our soul. When we carefully choose everything around us as if it were for our own home, it means that we have reached a point of being free, creative, informed, and attentive.
In addition to the concept of uniqueness in any self-respecting design, there is the clear notion that when personalizing a space, anything is possible if it resonates and vibrates with the soul of the person who inhabits it.
Designing your own space is a true art of decoration, so that space must become attractive, easy to use, and definitely functional in the context of the existing architecture. It is very important that at the end we find a coherent language, and that the personality of each of us can be read through the space we use daily.
The present time compels us to respond to a life that is always on the move, and thus the interiors of our homes certainly have an eclectic air with objects from different styles that should harmonize in balance.
For example, pastel colors and strong colors, wood and metal of different colors and textures, the most varied patterns and prints do nothing but define us and thus tell our story.
Every day we need to surround ourselves with things that represent us and with the ingredients of everyday life. I always inspire myself when designing, thinking from the beginning about texture and trying to challenge myself by combining seemingly impossible things to combine.
