We're living in exciting times, characterised by big technological, lifestyle and business changes. Even the interior design landscape is evolving to meet the challenges of a changing world. Our homes are becoming more futuristic - with smart automation and hi-tech appliciances and finishes, and there's a huge focus on sustainability. In the not so distant future, we may even be floating around in a capsule, entertaining our guests with cocktails while experiencing an orbital sunrise.
