Making Your Redesign Client Happy

What is the key to making your redesign client happy?

Ask them questions. OK, but what type of questions?

If you want to give your client their money's worth and make them a returning client you must meet their needs and desires. So many times a designer walks into the home and immediately starts telling the client what's wrong and they will actually end up insulting them. The best approach is to find out what they are really looking for. We are such a visual society and it is hard for the lay person to vocalize what they like in a way that someone else will understand. By asking leading questions you are able to draw out the ideas so you can get to the same page with them.

Here are some typical questions:

1. What are your hobbies or activities as a family?
2. How would you like to use this space?
3. Where do you like to vacation?
4. How do you spend your weekends and free time?
5. What colors do you like and don't like?
6. Do you entertain?
7. Do you like modern, traditional, country or antique furniture?
8. What magazines do you enjoy?
9. What is your budget?
10. What is your reasonable desired timeline for this project?

After getting the responses, the designer has a much better chance of meeting their expectations and needs. This will definitely lead to future projects together.
