Interior Designer: Tips on How to Choose One

Picking an Interior Designer is a little like picking a best friend. You need to find someone you mesh well with, someone who listens to you, and someone who isn't afraid to give you their honest opinion. The connection you make with your designer is very personal, and you must let them in on things about yourself that most people don't know. Depending on which space they are designing they may need to know things like your bathroom habits (does your husband like to read in the toilet room?), how you like to cook in your kitchen (where do you like to cut veggies, at the sink or on the island?), even some of your more personal preferences like shared or separate master bedrooms. Your first stop to finding a designer should be by calling a professional membership association like ASID (American Society of Interior Designers) or NKBA (National Kitchen and Bath Association). They can help direct you a few designers who specialize in what you are looking to achieve. Is it lighting design? How about a kitchen design? Maybe it is a whole home project that encompasses many different spaces. If you are going to hire a designer, having a professional association direct you is a great shortcut to finding the right designer for you. Another good way to find a designer is to ask around! See if anyone you know has used an Interior Designer lately, then ask to see the persons home. If they are proud of the designers work, they usually like to show their gorgeous home off. If you like the work, get the designers information. Continue reading "Interior Designer: Tips on How to Choose One" »

I like the lamp shade since its color can be matched to the room creating a nice tie in to the color scheme. Product website: here.

chill outtags: livingroom

THE NAME SUGGESTS THAT YOU RELAX, which is slightly contrary to the hard work that went into Manfred Wakolbinger’s futuristic “furniture sculpture” lounge chair, Chill Out. Each roll is painstakingly worked into the frame for an appearance that is amazingly clean and appears like a digital rendering. The rolls are not at all subtle, which gives the chair a playfulness; however, the obvious craftsmanship coupled with the sleekly curved design makes Chill Out inarguably modern. wittman.at Popularity: 8% [?]
