41. How to Select Materials for your Interiors Project

Did you miss me just a little? I hope so! I was on the verge of taking a break from our interior design journey for the year, but guess what? There are still a few weeks left in July, and I've promised to cover them all before taking a well-deserved break in August. But don't worry, I'll be back in early September, rejuvenated and ready to dive into new and exciting topics. This podcast adventure began on September 1, 2023, with a commitment to bringing you weekly episodes on the fascinating world of interior design. We've explored a multitude of themes, from construction details to design dependencies and material selections. Today, we're focusing on a crucial aspect: choosing the right materials for your projects. Selecting the appropriate materials is vital, and I've just given a talk on this very subject, highlighting key points that I'll share with you today. Each project is unique, and understanding its needs helps define the material choices. Whether working on a project in New York, Ibiza, or London, the right materials make all the difference. Materials aren't just about floors, walls, and ceilings—they encompass everything from bathroom fixtures to kitchen countertops. Choosing the right materials ensures durability, functionality, and a cohesive design. We'll explore how to make these selections thoughtfully, considering sustainability and long-term use. Stay tuned as we delve into the world of materials, and remember, a well-chosen material can transform a space from ordinary to extraordinary. Let's embark on this journey together and make your projects shine. Thank you to everyone who listens and supports this podcast. If you have questions or topics you'd like me to discuss, please let me know. Do you have questions about design? Send them to me, and I'll answer them in upcoming episodes! Thank you so much for stopping by to listen. Miriam Prada A bit about me... I am a Building Engineer and interior designer, specializing in high-end projects. With 15 years of experience in the design industry, I've had the privilege of collaborating with a wide range of clients, including developers, builders, real estate agents, entrepreneurs, and private clients. I've successfully completed over 25 projects in seven different countries (Spain, the United Kingdom, Bahrain, India, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, and Switzerland) and have had the pleasure of working with clients from 11 nationalities. My most valuable project to date exceeds £50 million, and one of my notable achievements was designing a development of 16 apartments where the penthouse set a historic record as the highest-priced one-bedroom per square meter in the history of Westminster, London. Currently based in London, I continue working on multiple local and international projects. Leveraging the capabilities of the digital world, I've produced and launched this podcast, 'Atelier Prada,' where, in a relaxed and colloquial way, I address various topics in the world of interior design with the goal of sharing some of the knowledge acquired over these years.
