To avoid wasting time, do your home work concerning costs
before you start thinking about any specific interior designer. You
may find that your field of choices, of necessity,limited.It
would be pointless to discuss the details of a Rs 20000/- job, for
example, with someone who thinks in terms of Rs 1,00,000/-
minimum.
If you can, track down
possible candidates through their work. Be sure to see
pictures or actual examples of the designers work before you
make the final decision to choose him.
If you are building a house or remodelling,bring your designer
into the planning as early as possible so he can work right
along with the architect or builder. Decisions such as the
designs of Built-Storage, the location of electrical outlets, the
materials or finish of floors, should be made during the
construction stage; they become more costly later.
The first conference generally takes
place in the designers office. Begin by telling him how much
you intend to spend and what you hope to get for that sum. He
may disenchant you right away or suggest various compromises. But
he cannot proceed at all without an honest statement first
from you.
Once the two of you have worked out
the broad approach and defined the limitations , your designer
will want to know a lot more-the kind of life you live, the
amount and the nature of your entertaining. An experienced
designer will ask you many leading questions and is entitled
to thoughtfull answers. He will want to know about your tastes: What
you like and dislike. Immediate elimination of the latter will
save time. Above all, describe the mood you want - quiet or
dramatic , old-world or newminted,sophistcated or informal.
Make firm decisions, and do not
change your mind unless you are prepared to pay for it. A
skilled designer will not allow you to make mistakes provided
you listen to him
It goes without saying that there is
no point in working with an interior designer unless you have
confidence in him. You don't need to be knowledgeable about
designing;Thats his profession. But you should be honest with
him about yourself and what you want. You should also make
yourself responsible for the small touches that will put your
signature on your room or house. Every interior designer worth
his salt wants to express his clients personality, which means
that he needs you as much as you need him.Together,you can
work wonders.
