Interior Designer and Client Relationship

   By Viviana Galetto-Malave of VGM Decorators Inc.

At the Home Design And Remodeling Show, guests have an opportunity to discuss their home décor and improvement ideas with one of our featured Interior Designers.

It’s important to build an enduring relationship of confidence with the client. A respectful relationship will make the design process feel smooth and creates a bond that will last for many years through many more projects. When we work closely with our clients, paying detailed attention to their needs, we create an inviting environment where ideas can be exchanged. A good working relationship allows for the creation of the unexpected and for sophisticated spaces.

The better understanding we have of the requirements for a client’s space, the better the outcome we are going to achieve for a project. This is important for all types of clients, private or corporate, as the work might entail focusing our aesthetic efforts towards functional spaces for different needs. The designer needs to have a good understating of the possible uses for the determined spaces and an even better sensitivity to the client’s tastes. Maintaining a design guide and thoroughly consulting in the beginning and throughout the process will produce the best results.

On both ends, it is very important to remain flexible and to keep communication open to be able to express ideas and approach the aesthetic and functional goal. Having a designer that is present and available to coordinate the process is imperative, as the intricacies of accomplishing the design desired needs close attention. Most importantly, being aware that just like in the field of the arts, it is the process that is the most revealing, so making this as enjoyable as we can will allow the relationship to grow between the designer and client.
