Hey folks, Trust this post meets you well. It's such a delight to be here again and I crave your indulgence as I wrap up the series for this month today. So far I have been able to address generic questions about design trends, custom-made vs. ready-made furniture as well as what time is best to have a facelift, I have also had to answer an industry based question about client conversion. I guess my responses have been helpful. As I run through the list of questions here, permit me to randomly select 3 questions, making up the last batch of questions on this series 👇: *Q5: Is there a difference between an Interior designer and an interior decorator?* Yes of course!

Hello and happy weekend peeps. It's 21 days into the year and I have a whole lot to be grateful for, which includes the gift of an amazing audience like you 😍.

Hi folks, Trust you had a productive week. As work activities and daily living routine resume for the year it has become imperative to pay attention to questions about how best you can utilize your spaces in 2023, hence the emergence of this series. Although there are different questions coming from the audience, it appears there is a particular one that tops the list. * Q1: What are the design trends for 2023? * Believe me, the subject of design trends is broad enough to be addressed as a series (as the case was in January 2022), however this time I will be dedicating the whole of today's post to this subject so I'm able to address other questions in my subsequent posts in this series. So in collaboration with my colleague, Dorcas @kleanhousedecor, here are some of the design trends we are projecting for 2023 👇: * TREND #1: ACCENT LIGHTS * 2023 holds a lot for accent lights. From ceiling to staircases and furniture pieces,  there will be adoption of lights for diverse
