zussel: 2 things
1. I agree with 大C姐 on resale value. Furniture have next to none given it's new. Your sofa for a regular Joe bought new off retail would've costed them $6k. You bought for $1.3k. That means unless you buy 2nd hand, furnitures' resale value is almost useless for considerations.
2. How much do a typical interior designer (you) charge for service? Does that include furniture shopping on behalf of the customer? I know some tells you what to do but you have to buy your own furniture according to their recommendation.... which IMO is completely useless.....
大C姐: Did you use the term 'designer' meaning 'furniture designer', vs 'interior designer'? Last post was quite confusing.
What I think is. Ideally an interior designer can put a few designs on paper and let the customer choose. Might require some help with maybe 3D interior design program to help show the customer what the designs look like? If that's possible and the interior designer will then proceed to hunt and buy all the furnitures there after, given it's a place I'll live there for more than 5 years, I don't mind to pay ~ $1/$2 per sq.ft or maybe $50 per piece of furniture to such a designer for his/her service.
Personally, I think shopping for furniture is time consuming and a PITA. I have similar stance on shopping for clothes. Give me a few good selections and I'll just choose between the few selections. Having to go out and choose among the thousands of items and hundreds of stores drives me crazy. |
