More than one person who have called themselves an interior designer that I have encountered over the years I’ve been practicing this profession have been totally of the position that if you don’t sell anything you don’t make any money.
Of course, it is basic economics that a profit has to be made in any business transaction.
But which horse pulls the cart – buying and selling or designing?
You don’t go to a fine restaurant to buy groceries. You go there to be served a delicious meal.
Whom would you prefer to engage for your residential environment? One who applies aesthetic principles, functions, and your life style to the project, or one whose primary goal is to sell you things?
What is the ultimate final goal applying qualified standards of this professional business transaction? Buying and selling or designing?
Whom do you choose?
Food for thought.
