What SHOULD an Interior Decorator do for you?
Interior decorators are regarded as Professionals in their field… and as such the public is entitled to expect a minimum standard of expertise and behavior from them.
Some decorators will have studied at design schools... whereas others will have become qualified through years of practical experience. Most decorators will have a combination of both… whilst those who are members of umbrella organizations such as the IID (The African Institute of the Interior Design Professions) regularly have to attend courses and workshops to retain their membership… and should therefore be regarded more highly by the public.
Living Image is an affiliate member of the IID… which is your assurance of a higher than average knowledge base, practical experience and level of integrity.
A good interior decorator should provide you with a minimum of…
A single one-stop location… where you can order everything you need so you don’t need to deal with multiple stores or coordinate myriad contractors.
Turnkey project management… where they control your project from start to finish. All you should have to do is sit back and enjoy.
Micro-management of all the suppliers… because no matter how creative and wonderful their designs are, the final result will only be as good as the quality of their suppliers’ work and the coordinated execution of their services.
And, in respect of each project, separately…
• Meet with you to establish your brief and budget.
• Design to help you achieve your dream… not what they want you to have.
• Present their proposals and cost estimates.
• Review any changes… and represent after updating them.
• Continually check progress during the implementation phases.
• Attend promptly to any snags that arise.
Living Image can help you with all these… and more!
