Discover the intricate dance between safe design and innovation in interior design with our special guest, Jono Fleming.

Jono shares his wisdom on building trust with clients, helping them unearth their unique style while navigating the complexities of social media influences that both inspire and complicate originality. Through engaging discussions, we unpack how emotional resonance and problem-solving are pivotal in crafting spaces that echo personal stories.

Ever wondered how Australian coastal vibes can harmoniously blend with Italian summer aesthetics? Jono takes us on a journey through innovative design concepts that marry these influences beautifully. With a focus on strong concepts and thoughtful twists, he unveils the process of creating groundbreaking designs that remain true to Australian roots. You'll gain insights into working with open-minded clients, using mood boards to decode their preferences, and infusing Italian elements like tiles and colors to enrich spaces. Jono also delves into the art of designing functional family spaces that honor historical design references, ensuring timelessness and livability.

Embark on an exploration of nostalgia and innovation in home interiors, reflecting on bold 80s and 90s palettes and the intriguing "cottage punk" style. Jono advocates for pushing clients beyond conventional design choices driven by property value concerns, encouraging spaces that celebrate personal expression. Through anecdotes of blending vintage and modern styles, we highlight the balance between rebellious creativity and respecting client budgets and preferences.
