I want to redecorate my very odd shaped living room. I'd like to hire an interior designer/decorator to help me with furniture layout, paint selection, and lighting. I contacted someone who was highly recommended. I sent her an email explaining how we use the space and attached: photos of my room, a floorplan with measurements, and a link to my Pinterest board of idreas before we met. She said I gave her a very clear idea of what I wanted and sent me a bid for her services. However, she didn't bring anything to the interview/consultation. I expected her to present her initial ideas for layout, colors, and perhaps fabric swatches. I don't expect free advice, but how am I to decide if she is the right person for the job without an indication of her approach?
