Anna Muravina, interior designer: - There are mistakes that many designers make. The most banal example is the question: "What style of interior do you want?" Such a question will lead us nowhere, because for the client it is a dense forest. The main thing is to remember that in fact the client knows exactly what he does not want. For example, he does not want high-tech or a green sofa. If the client knew exactly what he wants, he would not turn to an interior designer for help. Our main task in the end is to understand what kind of atmosphere he wants to get.
At the meeting, Anna Muravina also spoke about the choicecolors for the future interior. She explained that asking the client about his favorite color is dangerous, because the perception of shades, for example, in clothes, and the selection of colors for the interior are fundamentally different things. Anna Muravina, interior designer: - It happens that what goes well in clothes can be used in the interior, for example, only as accents. And you need to talk to the client about this. You need to explain that the color in the interior should be complex, explain what this means. You also need to tell about the properties of color: that under different lighting, in different weather, the shade can be different. Anna Muravina advised designers to outline certain boundaries in working with the client at the very first meetings: clarify what time is best to call and write, warn about the desire or unwillingness to visit salons with the client. The designer also talked about the stages of working on projects, revealing many professional secrets. Anna Muravina, interior designer: - The result of all discussions and clarifications should be an understanding of the atmosphere in which the client will feel happy. We define for ourselves what needs to be done to make him feel good. Then it is much easier to work. Conflicts happen to those who do not articulate all the images and pictures. After all, the designer must be both an orator and a psychologist too. As a result of unspoken hopes, expectations and images, disappointments appear.
At the end of the meeting, Anna answered questionslisteners and said a few words about the philosophy of the “Association of Interior Decorators” - that the organization strives to create a civilized and professional market of interior designers.
