While on the Internet and discovered a festival and realization hit upon me that how important it is for interior designers to go out and fine new design. As an Interior Decorator, one of the important things for every designer or decorator to do is to go out and see new products and services that could be of interest to new or future clients. This can be done by attending as many trade shows or festivals as possible. It is one of the ways designers get refreshed and energized is seeing new products and talking to vendors at these trade shows, educational classes, and festivals.
Take advantage of going to all the seminars. Some may be fun but others may be boring and hopefully you can take something away that you haven't learned. Talk to the people who are in the seminars so you can go to lunch or dinner with these people. The information you as the decorator gains from the seminars and the people attending them will make the whole experience more enjoyable.
Network! This is a great way to expand your network and future client base while keeping in your files up to date on products or services .
Some of the design trade shows have specific niches, whether its kitchen, bedroom or bathroom ideas, and not going to see them is limiting designer's viewpoint. As interior decorator, look for things that may work in current or future projects such as basic interiors, bathroom ideas, and kitchen ideas
The role as interior decorators is to bring the latest in ideas, trends and colors to our clients. If only magazines are read, or attend required continuing education, the designer miss out in seeing the new products and services made by the vendors. A magazine is great but seeing it in person gives a better you a better idea of its size, color, etc.
Interior design ideas becomes larger because an effort has been made to gone out and seen possibilities that we did not know existed.
