The founder of Bluebird, Liliya Sheremet, knows how to find a personalized approach for each client, understand their vision, and help create a modern design that reflects their preferences and lifestyle.
“I consider design my true calling. When I first had my own house, situated in an incredibly stunning natural landscape, I realized how much I enjoyed bringing creative ideas to life in decorating the home and landscaping the property. My friends were involved in the flower business, so I already had some insight into this field. After organizing my property, everyone was so impressed with the results that I decided to share this beauty with others.”
After completing my education, I started my own business and became a member of the Guild of Landscape Entrepreneurs of Ukraine. My previous project, which I worked on professionally for over ten years, focused exclusively on landscape design. However, I also designed and decorated interiors for friends.
When it came to Bluebird, I decided to incorporate all the experience I had gained from creating the design for my own home and those of my friends. As a result, the company now specializes in both landscape design and interior design.
Having worked in landscape design for many years, I’ve observed the evolution of preferences and tastes. Of course, there are still fans of “golden toilets,” but people have started traveling more, visiting foreign friends, and even attending landscape and interior design exhibitions.
For the most part, I manage to persuade clients, which is why my friends jokingly say that, according to my horoscope, I must be a psychologist.
When offering clients more interesting or stylish options, I rely not only on my personal taste but also on global trends in these fields. I regularly monitor and, whenever possible, attend the most prominent exhibitions in landscape design and interior design.
The Chelsea Flower Show is a leading event that sets the main trends in landscape architecture and design. Even the Queen of England opened this event every year.
This year, reflecting on the previous exhibition held in May 2022, I consider the primary direction to be a careful and respectful approach to nature.
LATEST TRENDS IN LANDSCAPE DESIGN INCLUDE:
- Spaces for solitude and healing gardens to restore physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
- Gathering areas, or the “fifth room,” where we connect with family, friends, clients, and neighbors, as people increasingly seek to spend more time outdoors.
- Interior greenhouses and “green skies of pocket gardens,” particularly in balcony landscape design, as gardens become an extension of the interior.
- Pollinator plants and edible gardens — flowers for bees, bushes for birds, and decorative beds with lettuce and cabbage.
- Sustainability in landscape design, emphasizing ecological issues and promoting renewal and reuse.
Updates on fashion and interior design trends often come from France, home to the world’s leading events in style and design. I studied there and proudly earned a Parisian diploma from the Art & Design Life School of International Interior Design.
Maison et Objet is one of the leading events in the world of interior design, held twice a year in the French capital, right after Fashion Weeks in Paris, Milan, and New York.
Color trends from fashion shows heavily influence interior design and décor, shaping the styles of furniture and finishes for the current and upcoming seasons.
The main trend this season is transparency with a subtle tint — lace, tulle, ruffles, and shimmering details that free the space from excess movement. These elements create an atmosphere that allows us to escape and let our thoughts wander freely as we dream.
On February 24th last year, I woke up in Kyiv to the sound of explosions. Concerned for my family, especially my young granddaughter, we left for Western Ukraine and later moved to Europe. It was there that I had the opportunity to weigh all the pros and cons, ultimately turning the idea of rebranding Bluebird into a practical plan.
Upon returning to Kyiv, I relaunched the project, as people continued to seek ways to decorate their estates and create cozy interiors. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if, after the war, a new architectural trend emerges in private homes — the construction of bomb shelters or the adoption of mamad and mamak, the Israeli technologies for reinforced rooms in apartments and public buildings.
We know which colors and trends resonate most with our hearts today: the blue, clear sky and yellow wheat fields. Ahead lies only victory and the belief that beauty, hope, and love for our native land will save both the world and peace.
