The Future The future of Gilling Dod Interiors will be greatly influenced by advancements in technology, sustainability, and a growing focus on health and wellness. This is an area that we as designers have been heavily involved in due to our historical work in healthcare and education. Sustainability will be at the forefront of our designs, with a focus on eco-friendly materials, energy efficiency, and creating low-carbon footprints. Biophilic design, that incorporates natural elements like plants and organic materials, will continue to rise in popularity as it promotes well-being and enhances the quality of indoor environments. The industry will also pay increasing attention to health and wellness, designing spaces that improve mental and physical health through better lighting, ergonomics, and adaptive spaces. The shift toward designing for post-pandemic needs will further prioritise hygiene, flexibility, and adaptability, particularly in home-workplace and shared spaces. We forecast that we will create even more multi-functional spaces that can be easily adapted to accommodate work, leisure, and social activities. With the growing trend of remote work, the demand for flexible home office setups and multi-purpose rooms will increase. Designers will also collaborate with other professionals, including architects, engineers, and data scientists, to create holistic environments that incorporate smart technology, sustainability, and wellness. Cultural sensitivity and inclusivity will be key, with a focus on creating spaces that reflect diverse cultural values and are accessible to everyone. Lastly, the role of the interior designer will expand, blending creativity with a deeper understanding of digital tools and trends. Digital platforms and AI will assist in streamlining the design process, while virtual consultations will allow designers to work with clients globally. The future of interior design will emphasise immersive, sensory experiences that engage all five senses, ensuring that spaces not only look beautiful but also feel comfortable and meaningful.
