I am happy to share that I was interviewd by Floor Coverings International, North America's leading in-home design floor coverings brand! The interview is posted on their company blog. The reason for the interview is this blog - Trendoffice, because, as they say, their b log "focus on topics of interest to homeowners such as interior design, flooring, how-to's, as well as informational articles" - all topics that I am posting about in Trendoffice.
Here below is an excerpt from the interview:
"FCI: Why did you decide to start a style blog?
TZ: My blog Trendoffice somehow makes the connection with my earlier professional qualifications - its name shows my interest in the sociological importance of trends in interior design. I do believe that "Trends follow our direction of thought, expressing the mood of the present and the style of the future", that customers' choices show us the directions in which society is going.
That is why I am always looking for repeating patterns and publish regularly about those trends in my blog. This may be of use both - to my readers, who sometimes become my customers, and to the companies that produce and sell everything connected with interior design. Which helps me also with my current work as Digital Marketing Manager for a construction, renovation and interior design company.
FCI: What do you enjoy about blogging?
TZ: Blogging is the perfect form of expressing personal opinion without mediators, like in all other forms of publishing. At the same time with blogs you can reach a very wide audience and make yourself heard. On the other hand, I do believe also that we have to be well informed in order to make our best choices in life and since interior design is the profession which helps people live in the best possible way, we must tell people how useful it can be. With my blog I hope that I provide my readers with a curated selection of the freshest, most innovative, best design ideas in the world, which will inspire them for their own projects and at the same time it keep s me connected with many known and unknown professionals . Blogging is the best way to get people acquainted with the products and new developments of companies like Floor Coverings International.
In fact I started writing about interior design several years before starting my first blog and I have numerous publications in printed media and on-line, which made it necessary to create another blog where I post some of the articles that have already been published somewhere else. Something like my on-line journalistic portfolio. And I have a 3rd blog where I publish photos of my finished interior design projects.
FCI: How do you stay on top of the latest design trends?
TZ: By following everything new that happens all-over the world in the field of interior and product design. And having the professional qualifications, knowledge and experience to estimate and sum up my observations. I suppose that this has been the reason to have my blog Trendoffice included in the list of "Top 100 Interior Design Blogs"...."
Thad Allen! It was a pleasure for me to share my thoughts with you and your readers!
