As designers, we work with our clients to create beautiful interiors that function right for them. Forecasting trends isn’t usually part of our job, so I am so excited to have an insider from that side of the industry on the podcast today.

Neal Edwards has been the Creative Director at Worlds Away for 19 years. Along with his team, he’s responsible for projecting what people will want in their homes in the years to come, and what trends are coming down the pipeline in design. And, he’s one of my favorite people on the planet. 

Tune in today to hear Neal share how he sees the interior design world shifting and which trends to expect to see in showrooms. We talk about the importance of being flexible in this industry, how to improve your skills as a salesperson, and how he and his team decide which products to create and which to discontinue. Y’all, this is the inside scoop on what goes on behind the curtain in interior design and I know you’re just as curious as I was to hear what Neal has to say.
