Curtains are extremely expansive and I notice that clients are not always aware about the amount of meters material they need. Therefore, when you have a fabric you like but it becomes too expensive, only use the material for the ends ( horizontal at the bottom or vertical on the inside & add a complementing cheaper neutral fabric. I've done it tons of times.

Not something very new but adding vintage & second hand items… it does take up a lot of time to find the perfect items for yourself or a client but matter of fact is you can get incredible high quality items on a small budget that are very hard to find otherwise.

Please stay away from too many trend items & materials and also add them more in accessories that are easier to change. Don't get me wrong I also love specific trends but when there are too many I notice clients are not as happy in the long run. A couch is more difficult to change than a vase so yes I do love trends but go easy on them.
