Despite the fact that many successful interior designers have a degree from a designing school and that they’ve had opportunities to work with each other, many of them have been influenced by their mothers. Whether the mothers passed their sense of style onto their children, or they simple gave them small, but powerful pieces of advice, many famous names of the interior design world are grateful to their mothers for the important impacts they’ve made in their lives.

Being Chic by Being Unique
Living Room Before & After Style By Emily Henderson
Sally Hart, a storage specialist, has learnt from her mother to see decorating as another opportunity for self-expression. Her mother cared little for what was trending back in the day, so she was daring enough to have her bathroom walls and ceiling painted in a high-gloss deep crimson hue. She advised Sally to follow her own instinct, to be unique, and not to care about what other people thought of her choices. Instead of blindly keeping up with the trends, Sally’s mother valued the things for what they actually were and the beauty they possessed; she truly enjoyed the interior decor and wasn’t afraid to be different.

Growing up in a house where the household members weren’t afraid of change, Brendan Guy was lucky to have a mother who didn’t allow monotony. Moving the furniture around the house and changing artwork, she was always able to create a sense of novelty. None of the rooms in their house were destined to serve only one purpose – the bedroom would be transformed into a library, a dining room would become a sitting room, which left Brendan with an important lesson in interior design. Owing to his mother, he’s learnt to be fluid and flexible when it comes to his designs and to always make room in his home for the items that he loves.

What Nancy Mitchell learnt from her mother’s possessions that date even before she was born is that investing in high-quality items really pays off in the long-run. Although they don’t fret exploring the hidden treasures of garage sales and flea markets, Nancy and her mother also don’t hesitate to spend a little more on carefully selected pieces, such as top rated mattresses that ensure comfort. It’s better to spend money on something that will last for years and that you can leave to your children as heirlooms.
We’ve all adopted a trick or two from our mothers that we gladly use in our everyday lives. After all, who knows better than the mothers?
