Talking Points

• "Interior design is like creating a puzzle where you get to decide how all the pieces fit together."

• "Colors can affect how we feel in a room. Bright colors can make us feel energized, while soft colors can make us feel calm."

• "Think about the function of the room - Is it a place to relax, study, or play? Your design should reflect the purpose of the room."

• "Balance is important in design. Make sure the elements in your room design are distributed evenly to create harmony."

• "Don't be afraid to mix patterns and textures to add visual interest to your design."
