Carpe that F$$$ing Diem.

I had an epiphany tonight about the word inspiration...

And the fact that it cannot be contained.

Just as a disclaimer...I am 100% sober. It's just that I'm also 60% philosopher/thinker. I know what you thinking and yes. Yes sometimes my head does hurt from thinking too much. Ok moving on.


Inspiration is an emotive word because with it comes feeling, movement, memory, creativity, motivation - emotion.

People can inspire others though acts of kindness. People can be inspired by nature. The word creates a two way 'active process'; One can be inspired as well as inspire others.

The one thing that humans hold as a core connection to one another is our ability to be emotional.

We are emotional beings. Accept it.

Some can channel their emotions into action, some into creativity, some into thoughts and others into philosophy.

Has anyone ever associated inspiration with the negative? I doubt it...but I do question it..

The best thing about the ability to inspire or to be inspired is that (I think) more often than not it generates positivity and possibility... and it is never ending, but rather a continuously evolving flow of ideas and impact.

Some of the greatest artworks have inspired the average (or below average) art enthusiast and perhaps erupted an emotive reaction within them. Cause a further flow of perhaps inspiration even if just in thought.

But the artist him/herself was inspired too by something before and the chain of the inspired can be traced back as far as a mere memory and not further because there is no beginning to inspiration.

It is continuous and ever moving.

As designers we try to channel our inspiration into our works.

An interior designers aim should never be to work on a room in the hopes of just making it 'pretty' - In all honestly I hate that word as a description of a room!

But we channel inspiration to create emotion. As an interior designer my goal is to create an experience for those who enter a space. If possible transport a person to a better place, an emotive place.

A bedroom should feel calm and safe, a kitchen should feel social and exciting, a dinning room in of itself should be a conversation starter and so on.

We create spaces to make an experience and our work transcends beyond the wall colour and into your subconscious creative mind to carry on our passions - our inspirations into your life.
