One of the first people who called themselves an interior designer encountered at my first job after college was always talking about what she sold to whom and the brand there of.
She never talked about what she designed, the challenges of the project, the designing solution, et cetera. Her ultimate goal was to sell as much and as expensive furnishings as she could and she was very successful financially doing such.
The approach for interior design should to make the project the best quality, function, and beauty for the client.
Selling involves the purchases of items with the exchange between customer and seller.
Client is one who seeks and is given advise, counsel, direction, creativity, et cetera in the planning and execution of laws, physics, principles, knowledge, et cetera from a professional if the selected field.
Many people in today’s society still think of interior design as a buying and selling process.
When it comes down to the choices you make in the manifestation of your residential interior space, which do you prefer: Some one who will sell you some thing or some one who will create a functional, beautiful, and quality design personal environment?
Would you prefer to be a customer or a client?
Food for thought.
