When interior designers create designs for
their clients, they strive to think beyond and create innovative designs that
could be timeless. In a recent interview, Clifton has discussed his ways of
creating designs that could strike a balance between the principal of
innovation and timelessness.
One of his methods to achieve this is to
use neutral colors palette such as white, black or earth tones as base, and
infuse accents with simple yet practical decorations and furniture. Besides
simplicity, Clifton also emphasized environmental friendliness in his designs. He
often includes the use of LED lights in his projects to reduce energy
consumption and natural wood and green plants to give a cozy and warm ambience
to the space.
Clifton’s favorite residential project that
he designed is the Yu Fung Building Project which features an open door plan
design. Compared to other designs, Open design such as replacing walls with
curtains and incorporating an open kitchen has a few advantages. It promotes
family bonding as the space becomes more integrated and spacious visually. On
the other hand, designing homes without re-layout is also the recent trend. To
make a big difference with the smallest changes in layout, Clifton recommended
the use of bi-function door or built-in- furniture to maximize the space
without re-layout and moving walls.
