<p>A good interior designer knows how to fit in all the important stuff in a smart way. Still, it’s important to remember that beauty and style aren’t the most important things. People are going to live in this space, so it needs to be a comfortable setup for life. Same goes for the backyard, if you’ve got one. A lot of people are doing summer or outdoor kitchens now. You can put in a grill, an oven, or even full-on modular outdoor kitchens – Fontana Forni has some great, quality options. And I always insist that all this stuff needs to be as convenient and comfy as possible to use.</p>
