HOW TO PREPARE FOR A CONSULTATION
Preparing for a consultation is simple with minimal preparation. Find photos or images that inspire you. Inspiration can come from shapes, colors and texture that you find yourself attracted to. When perusing images remain open minded because inspiration can come from one element in the room. It may be a special accessory, beautiful piece of art, or luxurious chair. It’s not necessary to like the entire ensemble just one element. Beyond these essentials finding photos of furniture and accessories also help the designer plan the space. You may find yourself attracted to contemporary, traditional, country, or classic styles. Another way to approach decorating is to think about the differences between your favorite stores. For example, Pottery Barn decorating is rooted in large warm furniture that has a traditional yet comfortable feel. Crate and Barrel on the other hand is anchored in simple clean lines and modern touches. Another important consideration in the design process is deciding on a budget you are comfortable with. Setting budgetary guidelines is advantageous for the client and the decorator.
