The Invisible Interior Designer
I recently read an article in Vanity Fair about Nicky Haslam. He was a party guy back in the day who reinvented himself as an interior designer. But that was in 1972, a time when it wasn’t exactly fashionable to have a decorator, which probably didn’t help his business much. He rarely got paid. Today of course, interior design is a thriving industry. Still, not everyone who has had help will offer up that detail right from the start. We all want to believe in our innate sense of style and the ability to translate that into our homes. And we certainly live in an era of do -it-yourself. At the same time, many interior designers rely on referrals and reputation to build a strong client base. A friend said she recently visited a home that was beautifully decorated and during the grand tour, the lady of the house went on and on about her design strategy in choosing this piece or that color while her visitors ohh-d and ahh-d at her brilliant taste. A few weeks later when my friend was relaying the details of the home to an acquaintance, that woman said, “Oh yes, so and so did that house.” My friend was surprised that the homeowner has glossed over or better yet, completely failed to mention the fact that she had worked with an interior designer. Is it fair not to give any credit where credit is due? Or is it a homeowner’s prerogative to reveal what he or she wants about who had a hand in decorating his or her home? http://www.ajc.com/blogs/content/shared-blogs/ajc/homefinder/entries/2008/09/10/the_invisible_interior_designe.html |
