Spanish term or phrase: se nutre
Interview with a Valencian interior designer: UK audience.

¿De qué **se nutre** un interiorista?.-
Se nutre de sintetizar y analizar las vivencias, los recuerdos, porque las tendencias son cíclicas. Ha habido momentos de mueble rústico, provenzal, étnico, minimalista… A mi edad he pasado por esas tendencias dos veces.

Where does an interior designer find his nourishment?


Explanation:
I first thought of "inspiration" as well, but then I realized it lacked the sense of "growing", "going further".
