Revisit Design Tips from Our Very Own Weisshouse Designers

In the past, we've asked the readers of our blog, our Facebook fans and our clients what they would like to read about. They (you) want the latest design tips, want to hear about and see our new arrivals and they want to know more about our designers. We've have featured Stan, Betsy and Ron previously on our blog and we thought it would be great to re-visit some of the highlights from each of those interviews one more time.

Betsy:

“I would say my personal style really involves listening to the client(s)…I feel that everyone has their own personal style and tastes and sometimes clients just need a little reassurance and guidance.”  

Ron:

"When working with a designer for the first time, it's great if you (client) have a direction that you wish to head in and have an idea of the overall "look" that you want to achieve. My advice is to invest in great rugs and pieces of art that can be used again and again no matter what style of furniture you purchase over the years. Sofas and chairs come and go, but, investment pieces such as handmade rugs and art are around forever."

Stan:

"The reason people seek interior designers to help them is because they cannot do it themselves and we are, in fact, professionals who have an infinite knowledge of furnishings and are not only trained in the history of furniture, but are also in the know in terms of everything new that is available for interiors."

These Are a Few of Our Favorite Sofas

Each one of our staff designers possess a very unique personality and sense of style to match. So it was no surprise that when I asked each of them what his or her favorite sofa at Weisshouse was, I received three very different responses. Ron Reinheimer chose the more traditional "Avignon" from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams. Stan Adamik selected the "Avalon" sofa, a more modern, minimal style. Betsy Daily's favorite is the "Loft" sofa. With a transitional silhouette and track arm, "Loft" is right between Ron's traditional "Avignon" and Stan's modern  "Avalon". Shop all three styles at Weisshouse and meet with Ron, Stan or Betsy and select your favorite!

Another Peek at the Weisshouse Designers

Often times, I will ask the readers of our blog, our Facebook fans and our clients what they would like to read about. In addition to design tips and new arrivals and trends, they want to know more about our designers. In past blogs, we have featured Stan, Betsy and Ron. We thought it would be great to re-visit some of the highlights from each of those interviews below.

Stan Adamik:

L: Is there anything that you would like prospective clients to know in regard to working with an interior designer?

S: Yes, it really helps to work with clients who are open and willing to hear and see suggestions. At first, they may not have thought of such suggestions. However, more often than not, ultimately they end up loving the ideas. The reason people seek interior designers to help them is because they cannot do it themselves and we are, in fact, professionals who have an infinite knowledge of furnishings and are not only trained in the history of furniture, but are also in the know in terms of everything new that is available for interiors.

Betsy Daily:

“I would say my personal style really involves listening to the client(s)…I feel that everyone has their own personal style and tastes and sometimes clients just need a little reassurance and guidance.”  Betsy enjoys integrating items that clients have some attachment to in order to reflect their personality into a space.  Betsy reiterated that LISTENING is the best design advice that she can offer other designers.  “I can only help to create the space…the clients have to live there!”

Ron Reinheimer:

L: Is there anything else that you wish to add about this project or the design process in general?

R: The Zitelli's (clients) are always a pleasure to work with. They are open to suggestions which really helps to move the design process along smoothly. As far as working with a designer, I find that it really helps people avoid expensive mistakes and saves a lot of time. When working with a designer for the first time, it's great if you (client) have a direction that you wish to head in and have an idea of the overall "look" that you want to achieve. My advice is to invest in great rugs and pieces of art that can be used again and again no matter what style of furniture you purchase over the years. Sofas and chairs come and go, but, investment pieces such as handmade rugs and art are around forever.
