1. They touch everything, especially in retail
environments– texture rules.
2. Color is as defining as emotions. How are you
today? Well, sage green just feels right.
3. Every time you visit their home or apartment,
something will have shifted, and however minor (say, 6” to the right) they
expect you to notice.
4. You wake up in the middle of the night hearing
them scream “when is the deadline?”
5.
They hate architects- because moving a wall 1’-0" will change the balance of a floor pattern they spent way too long designing.
6.
They’re likely to have a meltdown over which
shower curtain to purchase for their own bathroom, and what it says about them.
7.
They collect magazines. For inspiration, but
never look at them.
8.
At dinner, they will be preoccupied obsessing over whether someone in a wheelchair could easily maneuver
around the space. And, if not, spend the duration drafting a letter in their head to the owners describing the
importance of universal design.
9.
They collect furniture. Of different styles.
Generally more “project” pieces than functional.
10.
They dream of the day people stop using “decorators”
to describe their profession.
11. They will judge you on your depth perception or lack thereof.
12. They will borrow your napkin at the bar to draw on. Regardless of whether you've OK'd it.
