Can anyone tell me about the pottery barn in-home consultation?
My wife and I love the Pottery Barn furniture and are considering doing a free in-home consultation. Has anyone done this? Is it just one big sales pitch and a waste of time?
To be perfectly honest, we want a little help decorating and don't fully want to commit to a decorator. This seems like a good option for us.
I will tell you about ALL In Home Design consultations - I have implemented them in stores & executed them for over 30 years now...in fact, I am one of the innovators.
Is it a sales pitch??? Of COURSE it is!!! THEY WANT YOUR BUSINESS, SILLY!!!
HOWEVER - in my experience, a good designer not only wants your business (the suits want it more than the designer does), but they want you to be...HAPPY. They want you to enjoy your environment, they don't want you to waste your money, & they want you to refer them to other people.
So here's the thing - if you don't feel committed to giving Pottery Barn your business, then PLEASE don't waste this person's time & effort. Designing for a client is time-consuming & hard work, so don't use them. Most people in retail furniture do not get paid (100% commission pay) uness they sell something, so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't pick their brains & walk away. Now - that doesn't mean that you absolutely have to buy if you don't like the plan, but if you love their furniture, then I don't see why you wouldn't want to buy. Most designers in furniture stores are very talented & even certified. But I hope you connect with a designer who truly has a talent of communication & interpreting what you want with what he/she presents to you. You have the option of tweaking things & saying "I don't like this" - but work with them. And keep an open mind to design - they are professionals guiding you in an area you have no experience with as far as scale & balance & visual space. You would want to be given respect in the field that you are in, right???
BTW...I don't work for Pottery Barn...now or ever.
