At Aire, we believe that decoration is a world that can profoundly improve your daily quality of life. We want to share with you the behind-the-scenes of the world of decoration in order to make this world accessible to as many people as possible. We go with you to meet those who shape what we call “decoration” on a daily basis. Today we are with Elise Gloriant , interior designer, whose work specializes in the layout and optimization of your interior . Élise supports you in creating from A to Z an interior that reflects you , reveals your personality and enhances your lifestyle . Élise is launching her first online training course: Le Bureau Idéal . You can discover her work on Instagram and, above all, learn about her online training course .
You recently launched an online training course. Can you tell us more about it?
I've always had this dual role, strategy and creation . On top of that, I really have the entrepreneurial spirit in my guts. Besides that, I'm very creative and I attach a lot of importance to well-being in general and particularly well-being at work. It's something I defend. I believe that when we feel good at the office and at home, it changes our whole way of life.
I released a training course on The Ideal Office. This allows me to focus on well-being . Work is part of your development and fulfillment. So it's extremely important to me to protect yourself in your work environment. This allows everyone to be efficient and achieve their projects over the long term .
Do you define yourself as an entrepreneur?
I have always wanted to give myself the space to create, to set my own rules and to propose my vision of the world. I am an entrepreneur at heart: a quest for freedom, creativity, perseverance and a rebellious spirit . I need to be aligned with my values. I have always been aware of well-being and customer service. Putting people at the heart of our actions . I have an entrepreneur father with whom I worked, he has always inspired me a lot. I think it is important to have mentors and to be amazed by passionate people.
I want to bring my vision of the world even though I'm only 27. But I think that at any age we have something to contribute. I'm also looking for that freedom that you have as an entrepreneur.
What is your relationship with decoration?
I have been working on personal development for several years. Personal development is part of my daily life. I am passionate about people. I worked in communications and digital but I had difficulty projecting myself in the long term as an employee. I was looking for meaning and I aspired to more freedom . A real desire to embark on a passionate profession .
I read a book that helped me better understand my expectations. It's a book about Ikigai . In Japanese, this means the equivalent of purpose. It allowed me to identify a career path I was passionate about. It became clear to me that interior design was my path.
And for the record, when I was little, my comfort blanket was a blue cushion. In life, there are things that at one point seem obvious to you. This is what came out of the book.
I then chose to do a distance learning school specializing in design professions . I am passionate about training, I like to learn and I wanted to do things well. I took advantage of the first lockdown to complete my training. Then I embarked on my entrepreneurial project.
What is your relationship to creation?
I've always been creative. I need to feel emotion, and that's what I feel a lot in some designs. I'm passionate about graphic design and photography.
One thing I realized is that design was created to serve our well-being .
Decorating your home is an opportunity to take an interest in who you are. You can translate your lifestyle and uniqueness into your decorating project.
For me, every universe must be completely different. You must not have the same interior as everyone else. You must be proud to evolve in your world. And Design is there to reveal that .
What do you think of the Pegboard?
I really like what the Pegboard represents. It's ingenious and effective . I think it's a smart purchase because it's a truly infinitely modular object . It's customizable and will have a good lifespan. We can imagine the journey a Pegboard takes with a child. A child could receive a Pegboard from birth:
- The Pegboard would go above the newborn's changing table
- Then the Pegboard could serve as a small library at his height to make his books easily accessible.
- Their Pegboard can become a play board to help them learn colors and reading.
- Finally, our child can use their Pegboard to create a space for their passion. Whether your child loves music, gardening, or cooking, they can easily modify their Pegboard with suitable accessories. Their Pegboard will then accompany them for years to come.
I think the Pegboard is a smart purchase. The object speaks to me immediately. This object limits the ultra-consumerist side. It embodies a sustainable vision in our way of life .
In Le Pegboard, I find a vision of innovative products that I like. It's about creating something durable and in line with the challenges of a sustainable world. What better answer than to create objects that accompany us throughout our lives?
The Design
What excites me about design is finding what is essential . When you can put your finger on something minimalist, there is a powerful side that is revealed . I like the impact of minimalism in our daily lives. I try to make design accessible to as many people as possible through my work.
Design allows you to highlight what you like and what suits you.
Can you tell us more about your roots?
I'm from Calais and I still live in Calais at the moment, in a small 20 m2 apartment with a sea view. I need to be connected to nature, which explains this choice. But I have a nomadic entrepreneur profile. So I also like this minimalist side and this sea view which inspires me on a daily basis.
The online training I just launched is a first step towards a digital nomad lifestyle .
What is interior design coaching?
Interior design coaching is a process of co-construction. We have as much to learn from our clients as they have to learn from us. The source of interior design coaching is the client's uniqueness. Clients can trust each other, and that's what I try to share.
Every person is inherently creative. Everyone has the ability to have fun and create their own interior. You don't necessarily have to wait until you have a certain budget to hire an interior designer. For me, well-being should be accessible. It's not a luxury we should allow ourselves.
At the moment, I find that interior design professions are not valued enough. They are seen as a luxury. And yet, they are truly an important foundation for our quality of life.
We sell a lot of trends. But trends are there to inspire. But that's not an end in itself. I find it strange that someone would want to reproduce an interior identically to a magazine. Simply because the people who created this decor page don't know you. It reminds me of Fight Club where the hero strives to consume everything the IKEA catalogs suggest.
How is your training going?
My online training is aimed at people who work remotely, students, and those who need a quality work environment in the long term.
The goal of the training is to help you identify what is essential to you . Then, starting from your uniqueness, I will guide you in defining your ideal office.
The training is very structured. It is embodied through a step-by-step action plan .
This isn't just a blog post . There's a goal to achieve and results to achieve. I save time with my interior design expertise , and you know right away where to start.
I offer a one-hour format to get started. The goal is to get to the point and maximize your time. I chose an audio format for this training. I like to tailor the material to the content.
I created this training in 2020. Current events are challenging, and many people are discovering working from home unprepared. We face many sources of stress. So creating a quality work environment amidst all these changes is truly a difficult step to overcome alone.
I give my clients the opportunity to refocus on themselves and they will arrive at the end of this training with an action plan in line with their identity.
How is your launch going?
I just launched the training a few weeks ago and I really feel like it resonates with the public. The topic of creating the ideal office is really a strong trend. I think it meets an important need. I am passionate about what I do and I give a lot to the public. I have good feedback and I am happy that people are taking time for themselves. The wellness market has never been so valued. It's 2020 and the successive lockdowns are making us realize that it is important to feel good at home. We must promote that!
