 Correctly analyzed client responses to color, light, pattern, and texture, give the Designer/Sales Person diagnostic clues toward creating the ideal home or work environment. Aurélien's university majors in clinical psychology and fine arts have given him a unique approach to interior design: "The Psychologically Supportive Environment". Combining tests of client/subject preferences in the areas of color, light, pattern and texture, Mr. Guillory has produced a "formula" called "The Four Steps To Your Perfect Home"© to assist in determining a client's true tastes and preferences in decor colors, styles and art. This diagnostic formula can serve decorators or the consumer public in assessing the almost unconscious preferences we all harbor. It shows the professional how to rapidly diagnose a client's true tastes, preferences and biases, often camouflaged by his/her anxieties or sense of propriety. He then illustrates the most typical forms of decor suited to a diagnosed client-type. Use of this formula enhances the professional's perceptions and sensitivity to client needs and desires. Clients then feel more involved in the process, increasing rapport and confidence. This gives the most cost-effective approach. (An 18 minute video is available from Aurélien Guillory, which discusses his design approach and how he sees the designer-client relationship.)  |
