| Have your design work featured in Good Clean Design by Glen Boudreaux
|
|
I am an IDS Interior Designer in Dallas, Texas, and I would like to invite you to be a part of the new book I'm writing about, Good Clean Design. I'm asking designers that I believe would be a good fit to demonstrate good clean design to our clients and the general consumer. There is so much that is posted on social media, in print, and on design websites such as Houzz, Pinterest and Instagram that is not good design. This book will hopefully help our clients and the consumer better understand what good clean design really is from the perspective of a designer, using the spaces you have designed as prime examples.

I worked in product marketing for more than 20 years before deciding to make a career change. In my previous role, I led the product creation process for Nike apparel and footwear and enjoyed delving into consumer insight, product conceptualization, design and development before going to market. Through my job, I was also able to travel the world, which exposed me to so many different expressions of design not only in architecture and interiors, but lifestyle and culture as well.

Interior Design
Intuitively, most people can see a well-designed space and say, "Yes, that looks nice." But what is it that makes us respond this way? Why do some spaces appeal to our senses better than others? And in an era of artificial intelligence, how can designers tap into those sciences to design spaces that help us continue to develop our humanistic traits and skills?

Making a space unique through one-of-kind-pieces and locally sourced products was among the major trends that emerged from 1stdibs' annual interior designer trends survey.
The survey in late 2019, which consisted of more than 700 online interviews from among 1stdibs' 50,000 registered interior designers, pointed to a growing focus on the use of unique, antique or custom pieces, along with more items from artisans and makers.

Think a room or home that's small in size can't be big in design? Think again. It couldn't be further from the truth. No matter the space, whether it's a studio apartment or a room in an average-sized home that happens to be disproportionately small (like a powder room created from an extra closet), there are always ways to maximize every square foot.
