What does an Interior Designer actually do? In our latest podcast episode, Deirdre and I discuss this in detail, from that initial phone call or email from a prospective client, right through to finishing a project on site.
Of course different designers work in different ways....and we cover that too. It’s all about finding the right person or company to suit your requirements.
I’ve popped some of the questions we discuss below….Hope you enjoy!
Some of the questions I answer in this episode of The DnA of Home Interiors:
How and when did I become an interior designer?
What is the difference between interior designer and interior decorator?
Do you need a qualification to call yourself an interior designer?
What should I be looking for in choosing an interior designer?
How soon should I start contacting a designer?
How long does a project take?
Should I only contact interior designers who have a portfolio similar in style to what I like?
Are there times an interior designer might say no to a client enquiry?
What is the first step in the process of working with an interior designer?
What order would layout drawings, material and furniture decisions happen?
Where might conflicts arise during the interior design process?
