The 'Interior Design Beat' Podcast with Interior Designer Steven C. Adamko.
My interior design seminars, webinars, and teleseminars are wonderful ways to learn about the foundational principles of interior design and decorating that will enable you to be successful in your endeavors.
You may not be able to afford the full-blown services I offer as an interior designer, yet you need expert, knowledgeable guidance and instruction so that you do not waste your money. Ideally, it's about investing it properly. If you don't have lots of money lying around, then it behooves you to get it right, once, the first time. When you don't have a plan to get you from point A to point B, you won't get it right the first time. As you begin to adjust and correct various complications, you'll realize it's costing you even more of your time, effort, and money. It also means that as time passes, you're needing to wait for money to become available. All of these restrictions limit you, and produce serious unnecessary disappointments.
Getting the right designer for you and your project is critical for your success! In truth, it is very much like a mini-marriage. Therefore, you had better get it right! You don't want to end up in design divorce court. There's too much at stake. Your time and money need to be invested wisely for design, as well as the furniture and furnishings. As they say, "You get what to pay for."
When comparing decorators and designers, there is an overwhelmingly large range of talents and skills. Unfortunately for the uninformed client, you definately can't rely on the title they assigned to themselves to be able to distinguish which is which, either! Some independent decorators and interior designers only work in their own preferred personal style and look. They are quite comfortable because they limit themselves to their one favorite specific genre. Others are only comfortable working with the types of furniture and styles that they personally like and are comfortable with. If for some reason you choose to work with them, you are basically buying what they like. So, in essence, you are buying their look or brand. Coincidentally, everyone else that uses them gets their look or brand, too! So the interior of your house may very well look extremely similar to someone else's house. Where is the individuality and uniqueness in that? Therefore, your personality and the look and ambiance that you want or need is partially or totally submerged by the look the decorator or designer would prefer to impose on you based on the personality and aesthetic preferences of the decorator or designer! So, whose house is it, anyway? Who pays the house payment? I think you get my point here.
Your home is the only environment that you can truly control and the only environment that affects your life the most.
Would you want to go on an expensive design and decorating journey in uncharted waters without an expert guide?! Do you prefer a guide who can see and visualize things before you arrive at the destination? One who can explain it to you in crisp detail, so that you can see it and feel it before you get there? It's both an exciting and secure feeling to experience!
"You can never really separate architecture from interior design."
Hear great insights and enlightening comments from colleagues and clients that will help you make the right decisions.

This Podcast is a unique combination of two inter-related topics. It's going to be about businesses' interiors and business office interiors, but it also has a lot of correlation to residential interior design as well. I'm going to be talking about businesses and office ambiance, as well as the silent sales person and how to capitalize on it. I'll also describe how to discover and integrate your business mission statement with your interior design presentation.
Business Interior Design AmbianceWhen it comes to businesses, a vast majority of business people do not understand the importance of this aspect of their business. Nor do they realize the impact of their visual presentation and how that directly affects their potential clients' perceptions. So, it's all about Business Interior Design Ambiance and the Silent Salesperson ... the look and the feeling … or the look and the ambiance, whether it's a business, or a home, or a restaurant. They are all important aspects to consider when looking at the whole total presentation. So, number one is ambiance. This is the aspect that's all about the feelings and all about the emotions that are projected to your clients, customers, or guests. A lot of this is going to come out during the discovery phase of the project. In other words, you need to ask the right questions that will cause your business, or you and your business, to think more deeply about the cause and the effect relative to your working environment. Consider how clients, customers, and guests perceive you, and how they relate to you through that environmental context.
The Silent Salesperson!This aspect is a real supercharger! When this is done right and applied correctly, the money that is invested in all the various elements of your interior design project is put to work, or employed, to do double and triple duty. Your investment works to your advantage by performing the tasks of multiple salespeople, selling the clients and customers to do business or to continue to do business with you, by tapping into as many of the five senses as possible. So always integrate Business Interior Design Ambiance and the Silent Salesperson! If you need help doing this, call me for a consultation at 269-888-2049. Spectrum Interiors Website
