The Cutting Edge of Interior Design Question: what does being on the cutting edge mean? The dictionary defines it as being involved in the most important, exciting or advanced developments of a particular subject, in this case interiors. For decades being at the cutting edge of interior design has meant being in the know about the latest trends of the big-name designers, being able to recognise and use up-to-date colours, having a handle on the latest fabrics and being aware of how technology is advancing in the home. Now, I’m sure you’re all a bit tired of reading the next bit but, since Covid, things have changed. What we’ve learnt at Falchi Interiors is that being on this particular cutting edge is about being aware of how our lifestyles have changed, how our sense of responsibility for our planet has developed and how the emphasis on where and how we spend our money is different.
