Everyone has different tastes or identifies with certain aesthetics that may be completely opposite from yours. But once in a while, you\u2019ll run into someone who will disagree with you on more than just a small desk lamp.\n\nAt some point in your career, you\u2019ll encounter a client whose decorating taste is\u2026 not great. In fact, it\u2019s downright bad. When this happens, you can\u2019t just ignore it! As a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2018\/05\/hobby-vs-career-interior-decorating-certification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">certified interior decorator<\/a>, you have to make sure that you deliver the best service to your clients, so you have to communicate with them to find the best solution.\n\nBut how should you go about maneuvering this rocky terrain? If you don\u2019t know how to address your client\u2019s terrible taste, read on.\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/2016\/08\/help-interior-decorating-client-bad-taste\/#Argue_for_the_whole\" >Argue for the whole<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/2016\/08\/help-interior-decorating-client-bad-taste\/#Listen_and_respond_accordingly\" >Listen and respond accordingly<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/2016\/08\/help-interior-decorating-client-bad-taste\/#Sometimes_it_just_wont_work\" >Sometimes it just won\u2019t work<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Argue_for_the_whole\"><\/span>Argue for the whole<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15398\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Design-Blog-In-Post-130x130-2019-04-25T113617.708.jpg\" alt=\"lamp decor in bedroom\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\" \/>\n\nYou\u2019re always trying to decorate your clients\u2019 homes so that they\u2019re comfortable while maintaining a timeless aesthetic. Clients might observe individual d\u00e9cor pieces in a vacuum, and that can be crippling for a designer. Sometimes your client may initially dislike something, but once they see how it all fits together with the rest of the space, they might just change their mind.\n\nYou can also try to connect the choices with what they had initially wanted in their vision. Explain why the items you picked out work with the initial design plans, and why they would fit better than what your clients might have gone with instead.\n\nWhen you keep the final project goals in mind, you\u2019ll be able to give confident answers and explanations. Spending too much time debating the location or pattern of a shelving unit here, or an ottoman there, will divert your focus. Making connections and giving clear explanations will make your clients feel integral to the process. They won\u2019t feel shut out with no control over the final outcome.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Listen_and_respond_accordingly\"><\/span>Listen and respond accordingly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nYou may think that your client has bad taste, but make sure that you listen to what they have to say. Don\u2019t just let their words go in through one ear and out the other! You should respect their opinions, and they\u2019ll do the same for you once they feel like they are being heard and that their contributions are helping you shape the project.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15399\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Design-Blog-In-Post-130x130-2019-04-25T113827.888.jpg\" alt=\"interior decorator meeting with clients\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\" \/>\n\nIf they are giving conflicting suggestions on whims and starting to micro-manage the process, remind them that they hired you because they liked your previous work. They hired you for your professional opinion, so if they impede your ability to do your work, it\u2019s going to be difficult to complete the project.\n\nIt can be frustrating to work with a client who wants professional expertise but also has problems trusting your judgment. Try reasoning with your client. Ask them about their goals and explain how you plan to achieve them. Sometimes it takes some compromising, but speak openly with them about why their choices are outdated, or why their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2019\/01\/2019-color-predictions-by-professional-color-consultant-christina-kittelstad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">color scheme<\/a> wouldn\u2019t fit with the architecture of the home. Be direct but considerate, and always be professional.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sometimes_it_just_wont_work\"><\/span>Sometimes it just won\u2019t work<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nYou may specialize in the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2018\/06\/from-country-to-contemporary-the-wide-variety-of-interior-decorating-styles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> mid-century decorating style<\/a>, and they may be so far into the past, it\u2019s pre-vintage. Accepting clients whose needs are different than what you can offer isn\u2019t recommended. They might want something that doesn\u2019t fit with what your services work best for.\n\nDuring the initial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2015\/08\/client-consultation-questions-creating-the-concept\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">client consultation<\/a>, everything should be laid out on the table. You should structure your one-on-one consultations to find out exactly what your client expects, how they envision their home, and other personality traits that might make them difficult to work with. If they are difficult AND have bad taste, they might not be willing to budge and take on new d\u00e9cor ideas no matter how long or hard you\u2019ve worked on them.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Design-Blog-In-Post-130x130-2019-04-25T114440.128.jpg\" alt=\"bad taste interior decorating style\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\" \/>\n\nIf you found that working with this client was next to impossible, but you\u2019ve managed to finish the job, the best thing to do is to distance yourself from any future jobs this client may want to hire you for. Explain that your decorating styles are too different and that the fit just isn\u2019t right.\n\nOn the other hand, if you end up persuading your client to go along with your ideas (with their input, of course), well, great! You might even end up starting another decorating project with them. Just make sure that any roadblocks, issues, and misunderstandings are cleared up so you don\u2019t end up in another difficult situation again!\n\nGot some bad-taste horror stories of your own?
