Where Do You Draw the Line?

As an interior designer, you meet and greet all types of people. Your clientele varies from project to project, especially when traveling. So you have to keep an open, professional mind on things you may encounter. There might be times that you have to do something you have never done in your life, and keep your cool, stay professional and work around your own personal feelings. But where do you draw the line?

First off I would say, you have to learn to put your personal life aside and put your professional cap on. As an interior design professional you are held with the responsibility to create safe and function environments for EVERYBODY! Not only for the people that solely fit your standards of living. If that’s the case then business isn’t going to be booming on your end of the spectrum, and maybe make it difficult for you to find a good fit into a desired design firm. However, yes, everyone has that one thing that really makes them cringe or makes their skin crawl but you have to realize that you are put into that position to recreate a space not to become what you have built. But where do you draw the line?

In my opinion the line is drawn at the point where someone’s life and safety is at stake. You cannot put a dollar amount on a life. Everything can be overlooked and or reconsidered other than that. But when someone is getting the shortest end of the deal in that instant I feel as if that is the point where you should or can make an end to it. If a project or position is brought up to you and you have the option to take it or leave it then by all means do what’s best for you. But as long as someone isn’t getting hurt or anything of that nature, designing and interior of a space shouldn’t be too much of a life concerning job. But where would you draw the line?
