- If the designer does not provide recommendations for a room (or other aspects indicated by the Client) it is because the designer felt that the Client’s spending was better allocated in other areas based on the Client’s preferences and needs. Should the Client then decide that they would like to include additional designs, such modifications will be subject to the consent and pricing agreed to by the Designer.
