Most of us are feeling the pinch of the recession, some more than others. Everyday I hear the bad news on the radio, read about on-line and in black and white.Its not just here in the US either. Unemployment rates are on the rise all over the world. Mostly due to the fact that we are no longer an island and the real estate bubble has had a ripple effect causing a global crisis.
Those of us in the Design biz are by no means isolated by the current strain on the economy. This is much to the surprise of many people I speak to. This is partly due in large to the somewhat misinformed idea that Interior Designers and the services they offer are for a privileged few. I find myself time and time again explaining that this is so untrue.
You hire an accountant to prepare your taxes. This ensures you are paying the right amount and in some cases receiving your rightful return amount. When you visit the Doctor, he may send you to a specialist in order to get a second opinion on a diagnosis.
Interior Designers are the expert for a persons' largest investment, their home. Now more than ever it makes sense to spend your money wisely. To be smart about your investments and be mindful of the long term.
Over the next couple of weeks I will expand on this idea and share thoughts on how and where a professional Interior Design firm can be beneficial. I will also highlight and I invite you to share any DIY projects and budget friendly ideas that can be used to liven up your interior.
Stay Tuned...........
Very true Nicki... I think we could all use some luck.
