They’re trying you out and it’s important to them that you can understand. What they want because you’re creating their DREAM!!!
You have to get that clients personality into their environment.So they are at one with their Place and Space. They may ask you just to do the tiniest little thing first.
If you do that to Perfection and you’ve got that first little bit of Rapport from doing the measurements.Getting the requirements all the fitting done, then they’ve seen how you’ve progressed through that.They know that you can do the the standard. But also you’re on the same wavelength. You understand their needs which is so important and often that can lead to a whole project.
With the Residential client, you can get the odd client. That will say I’d like you to do the whole house doing for me from start to finish. Yes you’ll do it, but very few unless you are full on it. You’re not going to be able to do that all in one go. So you’ll take that in segments and do a bit at a time your break it down to important rooms first. Then move forward and do the larger things, but you still have to understand all their little requirements.
To come up with ideas to cover all the needs, so it has to be functional as well as look Wonderful!!!
Each room designed to move with the same theme. That you’re going through right from the first room to the last. So that okay, you may change your colour palettes. But they still have a coherent theme going through. So that you have a whole balance to the Property.
Some clients will still get you to do everything. But their budget isn’t there and so they will have a room at a time done. That might be one room now another one in six months or even the following year.You could have a client for years and that’s the beauty of this business. It can just grow and carry on and give you forward work.So it really is SUPER.

They’ve got to think that yes, We’re on the same wavelength.You know what I want, you know the standard that I want.Plus you can fulfil all my needs on the Brief at my budget. If it means that you’ve got to tweak some of your ideas to help fit in with the budget, that’s down to your SKILL.
