Approach interior design with enthusiasm –not fear

It’s easy to take a fear-based approach to interior design. To stick with grey walls, rely on no more than a splash of colour, and hope for the best.

But the philosophy Tali advocates is more open-ended. Her perspective to interior design is informed by quality, personality, history – and the knowledge that trends are fleeting.

“Creating something based on a store catalogue doesn’t really create a memorable space,” Tali says. “In my work, I want to help people evoke a feeling.”

So – what feelings do you want your home to evoke in your guests when they step across the threshold? And what emotions do you want your home’s interior to provoke in you yourself?

It may sound cliché – beauty, eye, beholder and all that –but the answer will always be unique to you. Whatever it is – an impulse, an instinct, an intuition – trust it.

It’s a better yardstick than you might think.
