3 things I would never do as an interior designer
Imposing my personal style
Lots of clients come to me for my personal style and want an interpretation if it for themselves. But as an interior designer, I also firmly believe in respecting my clients’ individual tastes and preferences. While I may have a penchant for certain design elements I understand that my clients may not want an exact replica of my style and I will always make sure to include elements of their personal style into the design so each clients home is unique and a reflection of them.
Lack of budget transparency
From the outset of a project, I make it a point to provide my clients with clear and transparent pricing options. I provide a comprehensive breakdown of all the costs and provide alternative options for many sourced items at various price points for the clients to choose from. Although these proposals demand time and effort, I consider it essential for establishing clarity regarding costs and expectations. This approach empowers my clients to make well-informed decisions, aligning the project with their financial goals and preferences based on our past experiences.
Overwhelming with options
In the pursuit of providing exceptional service, I am mindful of overwhelming my clients with too many options. We are appointed for our expertise, and while variety can be stimulating, inundating clients with endless choices can lead to uncertainty. Fortunately, we have had lots of repeat clients, who really trust the process, this approach not only saves time and reduces stress for my clients but also results in a more cohesive and harmonious design outcome.
