(From page 3) the market for quality at the best price. Designers can show you a broad range of upholstery, drapes and wallpaper. They know about custom fur- niture and cabinet design. They are versed in building codes, heating and elec- trical systems, and they understand how to group furniture for easy access. Interior designers are visually trained to see the potential of a project. They know when to tear down a wall, build a skylight or change a color scheme. Dealing with a designer can prevent you from making costly mistakes and could save you money in the long run. Make sure you interview a prospective designer to find out whether you can work together. Look at his (or her) past work, ask for references and find out how much he charges. You and your designer must 'speak the same language.' You should both agree on quality re- quirements, budget restric- tions, project deadlines and design solutions. Designers charges vary according to the type and scope of the project. Expect a small consultation fee. They can either charge a flat fee for the project or on the purchase they make for you. Most designers can pur- chase furniture at a wholesale price, but charge you the retail price. Since Century GERRY MEHARGLTD.
