Clearwater, Florida Interior Design Constance Crosby Interior Design Business: Yes, the interior design business has changed tremendously in the last 25 years and I have found that my practice has changed. We have many more methods of communication today and my clients are demanding more personal services. As Interior Designers we offer creativity, service and problem-solving skills. Clients no longer want a standard look as often seen in Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, etc. Even if they have been successful in completing a standard look with those products themselves, they soon learn that they want better quality furnishings and an individual look in their homes. Even our older clients want to create a new lifestyle and make extreme changes. We are adding more contemporary furnishings, lighting and art to compliment family antiques. For those clients who have been very modern, they are now incorporating antiques and a more eclectic look to their space. In addition, we have many clients that also want a more casual lifestyle where we repurpose some of their family heirlooms into a casual and comfortable space. They want low maintenance and more free time to enjoy their lives. They often prefer a Coastal or Traditional/Transitional interiors. Many clients have decided to downsize and live downtown where they are not as dependent on their automobiles and prefer more of an urban or art and crafts style interior. All our clients are demanding quality, cutting edge design and art that individualize their home for a true reflection of their lifestyle and personalities. It's a very exciting time to be and Interior Designer with all the products and materials available to create our work in today's market. The design possibilities are endless!
