Most people who like to be fresh and fashionable with their wardrobes also like tofeel up to date with their homes.

Especially if you are just starting out.

So many styles to choose from. The soft, inviting textures of Classic Contemporary, to the simplified shapes of the Modern look; or for the artsy types, how about the mixing and matching of old and new furniture to achieve the eclectic style. You can go round and round until your head starts to spin.

To be an interior designer one needs to have an understanding of high elegance and refined taste. Thats why an interior designer tries to produce work of high quality, establish solid foundations for the designs and gives advice on what makes for distinguished and comfortable dcor which will lend that elegance to the interiors of a home, office or building. Samer Al Alawi, is a well-known Saudi designer both within the Kingdom and abroad. We met Alawi and talked to him about his passion for interior designing. Here are some excerpts:

How do you see yourself as an interior designer: a traditionalist or modernist? I dont believe that I a traditionalist or modernist. Ever since I started my work, I have been guided by one word: innovation.

Your work has received mixed reviews. Why is that?

Well, for one thing, innovation in general attracts attention and can be controversial. My designs appeared at a time when the facades of Saudi homes had been standardized. My designs on the other hand were unique and creative. I designed both the interiors and exteriors of mansions and villas in the Kingdom, for which I became famous as the first Saudi external designer.

Interior design usually develops with the individual. Tell us about the distinctive touches in your designs. Have you really been very innovative in this highly aesthetic field? I think interior design is a reflection of the development of the individual and his taste, and his exposure to the world. Innovation in interior design is predicated on technological developments. It will keep developing.

How can your expertise enrich your work? Experience is of paramount importance of course. It can hone your skills. But you also need skilled labor who can translate ideas into reality. What are the prominent features of your work? From the start, I have been guided by two principles: to be audacious and to be awe-inspiring.

What are the colors that are most prominent in this years work? Do you have a preference for certain colors? First, I dont feel comfortable with the concept of a years prominent colors. Interior design is not like the fashion world. Artifacts could include a painting or some very heavy or costly pieces that we use to decorate our homes and which must be endurable. As for my preferred colors, I can tell you this: I dont like to use fixed colors. It is the client who inspires me with what colors I must use. I should understand his likes and dislikes, in order to be able to give him a good product.

Some people say that you were able to harmonize incompatible colors in your work. I do mix contrasting colors. I believe there is no such thing as incompatible colors. Actually this is the place where the particular ability of the designer shows itself.

Do you think the size and partitioning of the space affects those who live in the place? Absolutely. When you intelligently control the areas you make the tenant happy. A designer should have the basic skill of having a good understanding of a clients character and his personality traits. Actually I believe that the decorator can be a psychotherapist for his clients if he gives them the right design.

What do you think of the classic versus modern dichotomy in furniture styles? Do you think it exists? How can you combine these two widely different styles without creating any incompatibility? Purely classic furniture pieces are uncomfortable and impractical. But you can make a classic piece of furniture and apply technology to obtain a modern feel. Of course those who prefer purely classic styles in guest mansions or royal palaces, especially in Europe, wont accept this approach. Each client has his own taste, and I believe the designer can work on his ideas to get the customers satisfaction.

If San Francisco's Herbst Manor looks like one of the most eccentrically designed homes on the market, that's because it very well might be, with interiors done by 27 different design firms. A Teepee-equipped living room, a bathroom with an overgrown biowall, a bedroom ceiling covered with a black-and-white map of downtown SF; all were installed by the 2013 San Francisco Decorator Showcase, which left few traces of the overabundance of mirrors and gold trim that gave the 115-year-old Ernest Coxhead-designed Georgian mansion the nickname 'Mini Versailles.' Formerly the home of the late San Francisco society dame Lee Herbst Gruhn, the five-bedroom, 8,120-square-foot Pacific Heights abode was listed for $12.5M in October of 2011, after which a roller coaster ride of price changes saw it dropped to $9.75M, bounced back to $11.9M after the many-sided refurbishment, and finally brought down to $8.9M after a buyer failed to emerge. You might say the place is going through a bit of an identity crisis, after searching for a new look and coming back with a still unsought-after smattering of them. As with any renewal, old issues were traded in for a host of new ones, but at least in this case, 'boring' isn't one of them.
