Interior Design of San Diego

I just came across this stat about Southern California needing infrastructure work to keep up with growing demand. How are we going to pay for it? With IOU’s signed by Arnold?

Well, at least we know there will be demand for design work….

With some of the largest ports in the nation, the economy of Southern California is closely tied to the logistics and goods movement industry. This region is taking aggressive action to build infrastructure that enhances its role as a global gateway while providing opportunities for its fast growing native-born and immigrant populations.

Well, I have started to look at the projects and I am started to get excited at the interior design
As those who follow us, On The Inside Design has designed an apartment in Barcelona, the thought of getting to see the top designs from all over the world in one place- well, its like being a kid in the candy store.

We are excited about this new Architecture Festival to take place in Barcelona. It will showcase the best in architecture and interior design. As a San Diego Interior Designer, it will be a great place to network, get a peek at what others are doing and most of all, see what we are all passionate about! Design. It will be November 4-6, 2009 in Barcelona, Spain.

This question comes up frequently and I would like to clarify it. An architect works with a client and is responsible for the design of the project.
This includes making sure the foundation will support the structure!
This is critical because if the project does not have the right foundation, it could fall over like a house of cards!
The architect is responsible for choosing the wall material, where all the plumbing and electrical is located, any sewer hookups and so much more. The architect also has the plans approval by the building department.
The interior designer or decorator will work with the client on placement of furniture, location of art, color of walls, selection of tile, color of cabinets, choosing accessories for the home, etc. As a San Diego Interior Designer, we do not move walls! That is the responsibility of the architect or the contractor. This is a line that our interior design firm never crosses.

1. Since the economy is slow, take a look at your business. As a San Diego Interior Designer, I have been doing this.
2. Work on your marketing- whether its updating your website, business cards, etc.
3. Take a class to learn something new in interior design, graphic design or architecture
4. Continue with going to trade shows so you know the new products that are available
5. Network with other interior designers, interior design firms, interior decorators
