Interior designers across the country
have discovered that the average age of their clients
has shifted way down and that these clients have a penchant
for laminate, viewing
it as a fresh material with many exciting design possibilities.
There was a time when people didnt seek the advice
of interior designers until they were well into their
forties, but todays designers report a growing
client base in their twenties and early thirties.
The wealth of TV shows, stylish retail
shops and many shelter and do-it-yourself magazines
have helped to create design conscious consumers at
a much younger age than their parents generation.
These clients want stylish interiors in their first
homes, as opposed to waiting until there are in their
dreams home to seek professional design advice.
These young clients are also pushing
designers toward a new edge, encouraging them to take
a fresh look at stylish, affordable materials, such
as laminate flooring!
