Hi folks. I thought this should be the place to ask this.

Just wondering about the business of Interior Designers. Hopefully
with these questions, you can see what I'm trying to find:

- what specific role does an ID play?
- does the customer hire the ID directly in most jobs?
- do retailers and OEMs market their product to IDs?
- do new homes sell empty or are they mainly sold complete?
- who are the people ID sell to?
- who markets to ID?
- where do ID hang out and learn their news about the industry?

I don't want to make any assumptions, so I had to ask somewhere. Just
trying to get my head around this industry.

Love to hear your thoughts.

Cheers

As little as possible

I certainly would not.

????

Empty

Idiots
> - who markets to ID?
Very very expensive suppliers

Not where I would.

They are not quite as bad as I infer above, but the only ID that I respect
was an Architect for many years first.

Inferior Desecrators are pretty much useless, except for some furniture
discounts.

OR... if you have a particularly difficult female owner, an inferior
desecrator can keep them occupied forever. Just be sure you get +10% of
their total fee (including the furniture).

Sorry if I'm missing something, why the collective negativity behind
these people? Granted, they are not architects, but the
responsibilities are completely different. I wouldn't expect a
designer to go near what an architect is responsible for. Heck I know
some engineers that have completely messed up in my past businesses.

You're just not hearing from those with positive things to say about the
IDs, like me. I'm not answering any questionnaires, though.
