My newest client happens to be a 3 year old kid. Funny as it may seem, but children tend to be pickier and discriminating compared to the adults. They can also be brutally frank when they are not happy about a specific thing. So this new project is certainly a challenge for me. As an interior designer, I would need to revamp the room of this boy according to his preferences. Having rich parents doesn’t hurt that much when it comes to privileges.
I decided to give him a blue and brown themed room which he absolutely loved. Since he is quite a fan of horses, I was also able to infuse a little bit of such in the design. He wanted a spacious bed despite his height, and particularly asked for levels of discovery rocking chair. The chair I must say was quite a wonderful choice, not bad for this demanding three year old. My client was quite contented with his room. A relief since I badly needed to have good recommendations from his parents to their friends.

As a party planner, it is my job to find many ways by which I can successfully throw a party according to the preferences of my client. This is a career I have always wanted for myself, as my best qualities include organizing and planning. Some people think that it is an easy job, but it is pretty tough and challenging. Not to mention the need for me to multi-task to make sure that I get to meet the expectations of not only my clients but their guests as well.
One of the unique themes that are particularly popular lately is Moroccan inspired parties. This particular theme is not only different, but their culture is colorful and bright, perfect for the mood and atmosphere of a party. I would usually transform the area with wonderful Moroccan lanterns and bring in color by making use of bright and intricately designed cloths for the tables and seat covers. This eclectic vibe has been favored by those who want a different and unique setting be it for their wedding or birthday.

When we get tired of our home decorating style we make plans to make some changes. The plan can be simple or ambitious. It can entail recycling and rearranging current pieces or it can be a big project that will require some kind of bank funding. In all instances, the changes always start with the living room; move on to the dining room and other parts of the home. The bedroom is always the last that gets our attention.
I wonder why this is so. Possibly, it is because we are so comfortable with our bedrooms now that we don’t want to unsettle things. The thing is, bedrooms are the easiest to re-do. You can start with beautiful love bedding and go from there. Once you have made your choice in bed furnishing, it will be easy to choose the color of the wall paint and draperies. The next time you redo your home decorating do it differently by starting with the bedroom.

I am the person who is designated to vacuum our house. This is really a tiring job, as I might say. I will switch my role with my brother in a jiffy because I think mowing is a lot easier. This is also because our lawn is not that big compared to the number of things I have to vacuum inside our house.
Anyway, I don’t have any choice because our mom’s decision is always final no matter what happens. So I just made sure that she buys the best vacuum cleaners out there. There was a time when she bought this cheap vacuum and I really got frustrated because it really took me a long time to finish what I am doing. Thank goodness that she already bought a dirt devil vacuum. It lessened my cleaning time and it is really a perfect example that quality vacuums are the best!

In our home, we would want to make sure that our space is that which reflects our personality and tastes. We would be strangers to our home if it is arranged or decorated in the way which is totally different from our preferences. It is likely that you would not feel at home and feel welcome to the space which should make us comfortable. This should never be the case for each homeowner.
When it comes to lighting fixtures, there are other unique ways by which we could provide light and glow to various spaces in our homes. Especially in our bedrooms when we would want to have dim lighting, then cool lava lamps are the way to go. This is the perfect lamp for those who would want a unique take on their spaces and would want a hip and fresh look to go with their personalities. The wonderful colors of the lava lamp are not too overpowering and allow the homeowner to relax in comfort in his own bed.

As an interior designer, I am tasked to work on various spaces be it an office, home or commercial establishment. There are many ways by which I can draw out my creativity in these spaces, which is why this is the career I have always wanted for myself. It allows me to realize the dreams of others by inspiring them and making their dreams into a reality. The decorating ideas of clients can sometimes be over the top, so I would infuse my own ideas by making their ideas transform into chic and classy interiors.
When it comes to the design implementation, I would usually be hands-on with the projects that I handle for our firm. I would usually have my handy impact wrench with me to help out the hired laborers commissioned by the firm. I can be particularly obsessive compulsive especially when it comes to ensuring that everything is right where I want them to be. This way, I can deliver the space right on time, much to the delight of our clients.
