Hello,
I am currently working with an interior designer on my apartment, but I have some concerns regarding the process and would appreciate a professional second opinion:
Technical Feasibility: I requested some modern built-in coffee corners and wall cladding with LED profiles (as shown in the attached images). My designer claims these are 'impossible' to execute due to a lack of skilled labor. In your experience, are these designs considered difficult or standard in the current Egyptian market?
Client Involvement: My designer stated that 'clients should not involve themselves in specific details or furniture layouts' and that I should only approve the final total look. Is it standard practice to exclude the client from choosing specific materials, colors, and functional layouts during the 3D phase?
Space Planning: The designer made layout decisions (like the dining table placement) without prior consultation, claiming they would 'fix it later' after I expressed my surprise at the result. Is this the correct workflow?
I want to ensure I am getting a home that reflects my needs, not just the designer's personal preference.
Thank you for your time."
