fully stocked with the latest trends in interior design


Explanation:
The syntax of the overarching sentence might need some rejigging (these direct rhetorical questions always sound a bit more aggressive in EN than they're intended, I think!), but this should get the ball rolling :)

Example sentence(s):
  • "The latest trends in interior design are aimed at creating a beautiful and functional home [...]"

agree  seehand
2 hrs
  -> Thank you!

disagree  David Hollywood: where do you get "fully" from? not in the ST...and how to you get to "interior design"? weithergeholt obwohl es gut klingen mag...und 2 agrees... unglaublich... come on Steffen...wie du willst lol
2 hrs
  -> Good qu. 2 reasons: "fully stocked" is much more natural than just "stocked", esp. in this metaphorical context (can "trends" be "stocked"?). The implied meaning is there in the ST, too, emphasised with "von...bis" - and after all, it's a marketing text!

agree  writeaway: Literally translating marketing blurbs hardly ever works. It's why not everyone can successfully deal with marketing translations.
6 hrs
  -> Thank you - I couldn't agree more!

agree  Chris Pr: Or maybe 'well-stocked'....?
7 hrs
  -> Oh yes, I like the sound of that here - thanks, Chris! :)

agree  Lancashireman: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooray_for_Hollywood

  -> Thanks, Andrew - and quite!

agree  philgoddard: This is good, intelligent translation, and you don't need to explain yourself.
8 hrs
  -> Thank you so much, Phil - I was beginning to worry that I'd somehow lost the plot this morning!

agree  Björn Vrooman: I like your discussion posts. Shows that you really put some thought into this. Wohntrends is def. interior, while home design is, at best, ambiguous.

forget anything with "fully" as it's not part of the source text...

ich würde "fully" völlig vermeiden

are stocked up on new lifestyle ideas


Explanation:
This might be a step towards including both the wordplay in 'auf Lager' and the term 'Wohntrends', which seems to be missing here.

....have interior design trends on the back burner?


Explanation:
Not really enamored with the "in stock" wordplay.

Would work better with "interior design is his stock in trade", but that's another question.

...and your stock in trade is interior design trends from the Kitchen to the living room?
