How I Can Help You: Interior Design
One of the most difficult things I have learned about Interior Design is that it is not about my own personal style, but rather it is about my client’s preferences. My job is to help clients figure out how to build on their personal style and taste in order to reach their goals.
I also have learned that being a great listener is the most crucial part of helping a client reach their goals. Whether it be for designing their own personal space, finding their dream home, or staging a home for resell, my mission is to steer clients toward a favorable outcome while helping them feel in charge of their own design choices.
I think it is crucial when designing a space that we think about the interior and exterior at the same time asking the question “How can I bring the outside to the inside of the home?’ Have you ever gone to a home and just loved the outside of the home only to step into the home and think “This is not at all what I thought it was going to be!” The architecture is different, the home feels cold, or you thought the house was Colonial, however, there is beach theme going on inside. The exterior of a home like it or not does create an expectation!!!
I have had clients, friends, and family in the past ask me why their home feels so overwhelming. Part of the problem is they over-shopped... What I mean is this- they kept buying things thinking they could get their home just the way they wanted it only to find out they had only created clutter. A room’s design starts with creating a focal point and building from there with a color palette clean lines, and manageable space.
Interior Design does not have to be expensive; however, it does require a well thought out plan.
