What Do Interior Designers Really Do?
If you are an interior designer, you’ve probably been asked this question. Or you’ve at least had to correct someone who thinks that your job consists of picking out fabric and paint colors (solely). If you are not an interior designer, you might actually wonder what it is that these creative interior designers do?
The good people at Beasley and Henley Interior Design wrote a great post on their blog about the day in the life of an interior designer. I found it helpful to hone my message, and I actually know what designers do.

I struggle with this sometimes. I want my clients to feel like it is a fun process, so I don’t want to drone on and on about the boring and more technical aspects of the profession. I would love to hear how others accomplish this.
