Designing the Interior of a Home? |
|
Posted at Friday, September 22, 2006 |
Two weeks back, we went to the Elegance Home Exhibition at Expo. Spent almost 5 hours talking to 5 Interior Designers... We're pretty much spent after that. Just a quick rundown:
1. ReztNRelax - ID: Vera - She appeared to know what she's doing and what we want. We were pretty happy with her preliminary ideas and concepts.
2. Extract Living - ID: David - Didn't impress us as he didn't offer any opinions of his own
3. Fuse Concept - ID: Gerard - Was the one of two designers who made our trip to Expo worth it. He spoke with confidence and his experience was obvious in the way he immediately understood what we wanted.
4. Cissern - Sales manager: Norman - Pretty much wasted our time doing his sales pitch - He was even late for our second appointment. We've all but dropped him.
5. The Interior Place - ID: Jordan - Was our last stop and totally wasted our time as well. He turned us off so much that we didn't bother to offer much opinions. He could actually tell us that he didn't know what to do with all the space we had!
So anyway, Cheri scouted around in the forums after that and came across recommendations for Darren from Aranus. We met up with him yesterday and we must say we were both blown away. He impressed us tremendously with his experience, professionalism and expertise. At this point in time, we're both hoping that he will be able to give us a good design as we would definitely be glad to sign up with him.
Back to the point as to why I'm posting this today - we met Vera from ReztNRelax this evening. It was rather disappointing to say the least. She seemed to have forgotten most of the idea and concepts that we first discussed during the exhibition. The final design seemed a tad ordinary and boring. Well, I guess we'll have to wait for the second appointment and a 2D sketch to be able to make a proper evaluation. For now though, the chances of signing up with her is fast approaching zero...
Tomorrow is Bridal Gown Studio visiting day part deux.... More to come... |
