Interior Motives – The cost of home beauty

-

Back in the day, I once sold high end jewelry and always had a hard time selling the high-priced luxury watch brands. A great salesperson once told me a line that sticks with me today.

chrish_cash“If someone told you that you had to wear the same pair of shoes for the next 20 years, would you not try to find the best constructed most comfortable shoes even if they cost more money?”

I used this line to sell watches because a watch is something you wear every day and you usually do not buy a new one for a long time, if ever. I tell you this story because as an interior designer today I hear the same objection when it comes to purchasing high quality custom home fashions.

Let’s face it. You do not buy new draperies or a new sofa every year. It is well worth the investment to get window treatments and furniture that make a statement. Your furniture gets used every day, you owe it to yourself to buy quality pieces that can hold up to maybe kids, pets, spills, etc…

I always think it is a little unusual that folks I meet will have no problem purchasing a TV that costs over a thousand dollars that will be out of date in five years, but spend a thousand dollars on draperies, well no way! You and everyone else stare at those window treatments, just as much as the TV. You owe it to yourself and your beautiful home to dress it right! You may not change your décor for the next 10 to 20 years. Make it a wonderful space that you love to be in and that makes you happy when you look around, to me that is priceless!

And BTW, now working as a designer, I can tell you that I can do a lot of decorating in your home for less money than some of those watches I once sold.
