WORKING WITH CLIENTS
Module 10
There must be someone you know who could do with the help of an Interior Designer.
Meet with them for an hour or so, with them acting as your client.
Choose one room in their house that needs work on and treat the meeting as you would a first meeting with a client.
As your assignment:
1. Write a report on that meeting.
2. Write up a suggested scheme for the room.
INITIAL REPORT
My client has
called an Interior Design to help with the renovating of her spare room into a nursery
for her expecting child. Before discussing ideas, I provided my client with
different design magazines, pinpointing the ones she liked and the ones she
didn’t.
At first
glance of the spare room, it’s the perfect size to turn into a bedroom, with
enough room to place a bed, drawers, a single chair, and there’s still space
for toys and sleeping space for when the child is old enough for sleepovers.
The floors are painted a stark white, and the floor has a grey carpet. Overall,
the study looks very boring and mature, which is fitting for a spare room, not
a child’s potential bedroom.
The wiring in
the study does not need any replacing. The only thing the client has mentioned
is changing the lampshade of the ceiling light. There are four power points
around the study, so there is no need to add any extra when converted into the
bedroom. The only natural light comes from one window facing northwest, which
provides ample sunlight through the day and afternoon. Foe extra artificial
light, my client has also requested a bedside table for a lamp if need be, and
my client has provided her own electrician for this project.
My client has
requested a small area for a desk, so that when her child is older, she can
work on homework or other projects in that area. She has also included that she
would like a feature wall in the room. Despite having a daughter, my client has
chosen a neutral colour scheme, with splashes of pinks and reds. The neutrality
of the colours will make it match the rest of the house.
Price wise,
the client has stated that money is not an issue, and will be willing to pay
whatever it takes to get the best traders in for the renovation.
After an hour
or so of discussions, the client and I have come to an agreement. The room will
have a grey and pink colour scheme, with the furniture being mahogany coloured,
the room will also include a blackboard
feature well, as well as a small closet to hold clothing and extra storage. The
closet will have sliding mirrors for doors, and consists of removable shelves
for easy access to toys and clothes, and when the child is older, can be
removed to make hanging space. The floor will be carpeted, which adds comfort,
and walls will be decorated with framed art and the ceilings with glow in the
dark stars.
