Often, the most difficult obstacle to successful design and deployment is the lack of trust from the clients, for the ones they hire for their creative experience, knowledge and courage. When the client trusts the designer, and gives him access to a part of his story, expressing both his desires and fears, the result is a happy one for both sides.
1. What made you use the services of an interior designer? What were the benefits of working with a profile company?
“Well, you are mature enough to realize the long-term implications of your decisions (without education in the field and, often, completely chaotic). If you are able to admit that you are not good at design, that you do not have time or just that you do not like to get involved in such things then you should turn to professional services. I do not think you will want to live or do your work in a space that looks “in a great way”, but not in the good sense. I, personally, have appealed for several reasons. First of all, I have to admit that I tend to mix the styles between them very loud and I do not have the aesthetic sense of the spaces too developed. Secondly, just because there can not be two issues in the first place, I do not like to engage in such activities at all and irritate me with all the details or things that I have to be careful about.”
2. Can you estimate how much money you have saved using the recommendations of a professional? What mistakes would you have made if you had ventured yourself into this experience?
I do not know how much money I saved by referring to the services of Ioana, the answer to this question coming from a comparative analysis (it would have meant that I had made a pre-arrangement with that made with Ioana to make the difference between the two) . I know, on the contrary, that I have definitely made time, mind, and nerves. In addition, I won a few things that I would not have considered before, such as floor heating, the roof with an angle of very little inclination or other things that engineers, designers, or craftsmen told me “can not be done, are too hard to execute, that I will have further problems,” etc. There are, after all, the shortcomings they have mentioned, because there was someone to explain to them that it is possible and how to make it so good for everyone. And, last but not least, I won a design of my house, as I could not explain it in words, but which I wanted from my whole heart – my home design.
3. What recommendations do you make to young people who have bought an apartment or a home and want to renovate?
What do I advise others about? Well, let’s do some research before, though, to know at least what to start. I do not know, think about the colors they want, they want wallpaper or lime, what kind of furniture do they like? Questions like this and be flexible and open minded, otherwise, collaboration can not be ok, the results of which can all be enjoyed!
