A designer however cannot read your mind. As a result of
experience and observation , he may deduce that you prefer
cool elegance to informal charm, or Gregorian to Louis XV ,
but that would only be an educated guess . He cannot be sure
of the way you and your family like to live , and he most
definitely needs to be clued in on personal idiosyncrasies ,
such as dislike for all oriental design.
An interior
designer cannot see your bank account and decide how much you
can afford to spend. He cannot foresee the possible snags that
may come up in connection with the job. He may take the
greatest precaution , but events and incompetence beyond his
control - delayed deliveries, discontinued items - can upset
the most carefully calculated timing and budget.
Before you
start looking for a designer , you should understand the
distinction between an independent and one who is affiliated
with a large department or furniture store. Each offers you
certain conveniences . Thus , an independent interior designer
may work on his own or be the head or a member of a decorating
establishment . He or she goes to your house or apartment to
size up exactly what you need and want and to supervise the
job until it's completion . He works your floor plans ,
obtains material samples. He takes or sends you to decorator showrooms, antique
shops and other places, to look at furnishings he thinks will
be suitable , or he helps you make selection from the pictures
in catalogues.
Among the independent
designers , A one-man or one-woman operation is usually highly
personal and often outstandingly good . But be very sure of
your choice before you use a designer who has no office at all. In
some communities, it is still all to easy for a rank
amateur to assume the title , 'Interior Designer'
