Ali, who created 'Call It Design,' told Bored Panda that there are a few possible reasons why the photos he shares resonate with so many people. From providing a unique perspective to focusing on quality.
"Perhaps the photos I curate offer a unique perspective on home decor that people haven't seen before," he mused about the idea that he might have a particular knack for finding photos that are visually stunning.
Meanwhile, the posts themselves are high-quality and well-composed, meaning that many internet users enjoy them. "Quality content tends to attract more followers and engagement on social media," Ali put it simply.
What's more, the founder of the page believes that he helps inspire people when it comes to decorating their own homes. "My followers may appreciate the tips and tricks I post, or they may simply enjoy looking at the beautiful photos I share," he told Bored Panda.

The page itself caters to a niche audience of people who are very interested in home decor. By focusing on their interests, the curator slowly but surely built up a loyal following over the years. Something else that has helped lead the Instagram page to success is how consistently Ali posts new photos. He's reliable, and his fans know this.
Meanwhile, Bored Panda was interested to hear some of Ali's thoughts on what he believes separates quality modern designs from the rest. In his opinion, what truly matters is functionality, simplicity, attention to detail, and timelessness.
"A modern design should not only look beautiful, but it should also be functional and serve a purpose," he pointed out that some designs that look good might be very impractical or even uncomfortable to use. Meanwhile, the modern design philosophy often emphasizes simplicity and minimalism, as seen in the use of 'clean' lines and a lack of clutter.

The Colorful Set Up
"A well-designed space should feel open and uncluttered, with each element having a purpose and contributing to the overall aesthetic," Ali explained to Bored Panda. He added that the right attention to detail can go a long way in improving a design's quality. For instance, designers might carefully consider what materials and colors to use.
Finally, good design is something that is timeless. "A well-designed space should not only be beautiful and functional now," the founder of 'Call It Design' said. "It should also stand the test of time and continue to look relevant and modern for years to come."

The mastermind behind the ‘Call It Design’ project is Ali Traibiz. He aims to inspire people to “connect and make a positive impact through design,” and keeps an eye on the pulse of modern design trends worldwide.
At the time of writing, the Instagram page had already grown to have a following of 104k people. The page has continued to expand over the years. Back in 2020, the account had just 55k followers.
During a previous interview with Bored Panda, Ali, the founder of the page, shone some light on the entire project and the inspiration behind it.
“I started getting into modern design when I wanted to renovate my 1-bedroom apartment," he told us earlier.
“I myself try to avoid the extra fluff, that's why I started digging into modern design, and appreciating its simplistic and unique look,” the founder told Bored Panda, adding that what draws people to modernism is the desire to express themselves through simplicity.

"I started this page 18 months ago and made over 1,300 posts," Ali said back in 2021. Now, in 2023, he has made nearly 1,800 posts, and continues sharing photos consistently.
"Based on the posts that have had the biggest engagements and interests, I can see clearly what design features my followers like the most,” he told Bored Panda.
"For example, they're attracted by the most simple and minimalist architecture; boxy style, linear elements, flat roofs... They may seem basic, but they give that amazing, stunning, and artistic look to a place.”

Good design comes from communication between the vision of the designer, as well as the needs of the client. There has to be balance and harmony between the two sides, otherwise, what you’ll end up with is utter chaos.
For instance, no matter how great an interior designer might be, if they’re left to do whatever they want to do unchecked, some of their designs might become too detached from reality. What you might end up with are user-unfriendly design decisions that are more akin to art than livable, pleasant interiors.

On the flip side, if the client is given free rein to micromanage the designer, you won’t get anything good either. Unless they have very strong backgrounds in art, architecture, design, or construction, odds are that the client might not know how to create an atmosphere of unity between all the disparate elements of their home. That’s what you need designers for—they look at interiors holistically, elevating the space, and combining materials, shapes, and colors into one pleasant whole.

Watering them could be automated. Maintening them would be impossible. I doubt this is real or more than a temporary art installation.
It’s not just communicating with clients that designers ought to value. They also need to keep open lines of communication with the actual contractors who turn their plans into reality. No matter how amazing your blueprints or your visuals are, things will go wrong!
Sooner or later, someone will mess up a detail or improvise if they don’t have access to the resources they need while crafting the interior. Your plans need to be very specific, so there’s little-to-no vagueness there.

As a designer, you can avoid some of these pitfalls by having some in-depth knowledge about construction processes and how materials are used. Not only that, but you also have to keep up-to-date with current trends.
It also helps if you know how to talk to and motivate the contractors so that they don’t cut corners. The best pros will spot problems in the making and pivot to solve them as they pop up. It’s a very involved process, but if you want to be the best at what you do, you have to be willing to go the extra mile.

I like the tiles, but I would prefer maybe two or three as eye-catchers on a mostly plain wall. And not in combination with that wooden floor.
