​"As a client you should expect a designer to listen to you, read your personal styling, and understand your space and lifestyle. After this vetting process your profile should be mixed with the elements and principles of design AND the tenants of environmental and color psychology.  Any response short of this design methodology is just a personal opinion, not professional advice".   gfhayes
