SHOW HOUSE

What you getting get at when you come across a "showhouse"? A sample home or "just for show"?Many of us might think there maybe a brilliant idea or two we may pick up to enhance our own homes, right? Err.. you may be right but most of the time WRONG! Why?....

Oh..that cost too much..err..where can I purchase those items...maybe I will get my interior designer to come and copy them since I am not allow to take photographs..right? With these trends kept going somehow abused by developers..(developer intention is mainly to hoodwink you into buying the unit, NOT helping you to save on designers fees) designers are running out of job because most owners with naturally think they can decorate up their homes from items available in IKEA! I have seen many homes though tastefully decorated up by products from IKEA but most of them are horrible. The head don't match the body, the hands in the wrong places and the legs are not even there! get what I mean? I am not putting down the creativity abilities of the owner, but most of the time ..a group of designers of all ages..father,mum, son and even grandma. Penang rojak is great but not in this case. At the end of it after all the hard earned money spent..the resolution...I do a better own next time! Well, as some say..beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder...it is right no doubt, which simply means the owner is satisfied(mainly after the hard work) but not to their visitors (which in fact most Malaysians..though not admitting to it) wants their design abilities appreciated by others.

Next time, just pause a give it a thought, designers after spending years in colleges and universities are not there for fun, they are in fact trained in their field,it makes sense they SHOULD provide you a better solution right? I leave you to be the judge on this.
