One thing that I say to my customers is that I don’t come into people’s house and recreate where I live. In fact, whenever I’ve showed people fabrics or styles that are similar to items I have at home, they’re not interested.
It’s really boring for me to recreate the same look over and over and over. Last year, in terms of color palettes, I worked with shades of plum and purple and pale aquas for one client; another home will have golds and reds and greens, kind of a traditional color palette; one client is doing teal and tan; and another client is doing coral, light green, and light blue.
It’s much more interesting to figure out what my clients like and make it be beautiful. I have to stretch myself with each client to try to figure out to I pull together what they like in a way that will be beautiful for them.
