Design Perspectives LLC

There may be nothing more personal than your home... your escape at the end of the day from the hectic world outside.  Finding a designer who you are comfortable with, who is willing to embrace your style, who can listen carefully and understand your goals and priorities and who you will enjoy working with is extremely important.  Ideally, you want to find someone who will ensure that at the end of the project, your home reflects who you are, not who your designer is.

Clear communication and understanding of your budget and how you prefer to work together are critical to a successful project. 

Read the descriptions below so that you can identify your "client type" and so that I may understand the best way to work with you.

Budget Considerations:

“Best-bargain client":   Willing to compromise a bit on selection options and decisions in order to meet a fixed budget.

“Balanced client”:  Willing to splurge on some items to create a “look”, conserve on other selections to stay within a budget range.

“The-sky’s-the-limit client”:  Desires a “perfect” result.  No expense is too great to achieve the goal.

Involvement Considerations:   

“You-do-it client”:  “I am very busy.  I have no time to shop.  Just do it for me and make it look nice.” 

“Let’s-do-it-together client”:  “I want this to be a partnership.  I’ll give you a lot of input up front regarding my style so that my home will reflect my personality.  I will plan, meet or shop with you when it makes sense and delegate tasks to you when it makes sense.  We will spend time together to review and finalize my selections before implementing our joint design.”

“Just-tell-me-it’s-ok client”:  “I think I know what I’m doing, but I’ve never done decorating or remodeling before, so I’m scared.  Just give me some design tips, but I’ll do it myself.  I may want you to look at my choices now and then and voice your opinion.”
