Initial meeting

To clearly understand your clients needs and to ask questions and determine if you and your client are compatible. It is the meeting of the minds and here we will discuss your likes, and dislikes. Showing photographs of any desired rooms, furniture treatments, color, which rooms to focus on. Some designers like to go thru a client’s clothes to pick up on their taste in fabrics and colors. This does set up a good picture of their style., whether its traditional or conservative, or unconventional. I think that interior design is an art of expression between you and your client. Your job is to be able to read them correctly and to be their ambassador of the job. The client and designer relationship and trust are utmost important to the job being completed to a superior level.

After the initial meeting, the client and I will either meet at the showrooms to bring samples home or select items online. As a designer of many years, I believe it is effective to bring selections to their home and they see it in their light.
