The blog is back this week. It's about the balance between a client's wants/needs/desires and the characteristics a designer brings with them in their designs. It's sometimes a tricky one to discuss but it is inevitable that a designer will bring an element of their own style and personality to any design. But that does not mean that they don't produce what a client wants. It is worth clients researching different designers though. The best designs come from the successful client/designer relationships. And not every designer is going to suit every client and vice versa. It's not often voiced though is it? In this competitive world we live in we are all reluctant to hem ourselves in for fear of missing out on potential work. But we're all doing ourselves a disservice if we're not honest about these things. To work with integrity means acknowledging that not every potential client is going to find my design style to their taste. But those who do will come away with a design they can believe in and love. And I will enjoy the process more and will come up with better work. A win-win. Successful interior designers have their own style. Look at the difference between Kelly Hoppen's muted tones, clean lines and modern look and Sophie Robinson's bright, cheerful, extremely colourful approach. Both meeting the needs of their clients.The blog talks a little about what I bring to the table. I hope you enjoy it and if you'd like to work with me on a home project, please get in touch. https://lnkd.in/e5CBJ447
