One Day Style is based on the almost 30 years of experience the One Day Decorating Staff have built successful decorating and training businesses and know the industry inside and out. Time has taught them that the best decorating is all about listening to the client’s needs and guiding them in making great decisions as a team. Great decorating is also a combination of creativity and thinking outside the box. Our classes encourage you to do that and find ways to satisfy your client’s needs in ways that are unexpected, whether it the way you arrange furniture or decorate a mantel. A successful business is based on having fun with what you do and making the process enjoyable for your clients as well.
No, you do not need previous experience but you do need to have a flair and passion for making a room look great. Chances are if you are considering this class, then you are the individual that everyone marvels about how lovely your home always looks. Your friends and family may comment on your natural talent. You are the kind of person that even when visiting friends, you frequently have an overwhelming urge to move the furniture and pictures.
Are you ready to be paid for the ideas you have been giving away for years? If this sounds like you, then our workshops are tailor made for you.
No, you do not need a business background. We will guide you in the necessary steps
to begin a new business, including obtaining necessary licensing for your area and advice on setting up your bookkeeping and office practices. Helping you name your business, establishing pricing and developing a marketing strategy to launch and grow your business.
What if I already have an established decorating or staging business?
If you have already taken the leap into the world of business, then this workshop will simply complement the business you already have. More and more conventional designers have discovered the need of their clients to transform their home through the creative ideas and talent of their decorators and not by changing everything they already own. This facet of decorating goes hand in hand with the conventional decorating needs of your clients and is a good way to get your foot in the door. Successful staging also requires someone who not only understands the psychology of the selling process but also someone who has a natural ability to transform a space on limited budgets.
How much you make really depends on how hard you work...but the industry average is about $250 per room. Interior Redesign and staging have been receiving much exposure on HGTV and Oprah, as well as many magazines and other TV shows. Think Design to Sell, Decorating Cents, and many more. This is creating a curiosity about this service. For less than the price of a new chair, your client has a brand new room….using what they already own! We also will discuss alternative ways to make money in conjunction with redesign, such as consultations, personal shopping, One Day Staging, visual merchandising, and much more.
What do I need to bring to this workshop and how do I dress?
Bring your energy, enthusiasm, and desire to learn when you come for the week. We also suggest you bring your camera and a camcorder if you have one. You will want to build a portfolio of your jobs so you can share them with future clients. Dress for the week is city casual. When working in a client's home, we want you to maintain a professional yet comfortable appearance. Khakis or comfortable dress slacks will still allow you to work well but look like the professional that you are. Jeans are fine on the days we do not visit a client's home. We also suggest bringing a comfortable pair of shoes or sneakers to change into at the client's home so you do not bring the soil from your street shoes into their homes when working.
