Hong Kong\u2019s multidimensional interior design industry is facing the most challenging era in history, says Mendy Wong, Co-founder & Head of business management, and Vincent Pang, Head of Design, Nomad Interior Design Ltd.<\/p>\n

No stranger to challenge, Mendy and Vincent are recognised voices in the industry and their work is well regarded amongst the territory\u2019s best. The issue though is more than just quality of design or flexibility, or understanding the<\/p>\n

customer\u2019s needs. Today\u2019s competing factors revolve around \u2018space\u2019 management because customers have smaller spaces.<\/p>\n

The main challenge is to present designs that will suit the changing workflow of a multi-purpose home, commercial or retail space. Another challenge is technology. Fintech for example, is changing the workflow of the finance industry so how does agile design merge or compliment technology and enhance the overall look and feel of the space designed. These are clear and real challenges the industry has to overcome and we know there are no easy answers.<\/p>\n

Blending of Elements<\/h3>\n

\u201cAn overall solution can only be achieved by a smart blending of elements like lighting, colours, shapes and style and of course a total service attitude on the part of the designer,\u201d Mendy says.<\/p>\n

\u201cClients want suggestions, ideas but they also want choice. Working with a client in a way is also about handling expectations. Designing with shrinking spaces and expanding needs means we as designers have to establish a clearer understanding of our client\u2019s objectives.<\/p>\n

After that, the first step it to present a design style to suit the purpose of the space and ensure practicality. Then, we proceed to discuss the overall colour and style. The lighting must also match the overall environment and do a good job of space allocation. Finally, make sure the overall style is consistent with the overall flow, look and feel of the space,\u201d Mendy explains.<\/p>\n
