Boyce sparks creativity in interior design Choosing fabrics for drapes and coordinating colors in rugs may not seem like an exciting job, but it is one of the many tasks tackled by an interior designer. Speech teacher, Mrs. Claire Boyce, began interior design work as a hobby in college by designing sets as a the- atre major. Applying her stage de- sign knowledge to decorating homes led her to her first job: re- doing a friend's apartment. Feel- ing successful after many exper- iences in redecorating she decided to attend the Academy of the Mer- chandise Mart for five years and study the basics of interior design. In creating a design, the floor plan is the designer's basic tool. A designer should have a natural creativity and a sound knowledge of interior design, stated Mrs. Boyce. It is important to go to a good school and learn how to ap- ply these basic talentsf' Knowing how the color wheel works in blending texture and fabric is also an integral part in the work of an interior designer. With the help of her husband, Mrs. Boyce has been operating Left: Besides helping customers choose materials and lay floor plans, Mrs. Boyce also designs many accessories as well. .iw 1 Q.. , her own business for the last three years called Niveri. Keeping busy mainly during the summer months, she works out of her own home. By appointments for consultations she brings many samples of fabrics and wall cover- ings in all colors and styles to the project. Mrs. Boyce works with many different retailers to get a wide range of materials and prices for her clients. With today's economy it's hard to afford everything you like. We try to get the most and best quality at rea- sonable prices. Although most designers try to organize their work, the head- aches always find a way to creep in: Some of the problems I en- counter are furniture getting lost, half of the order coming in late, and the company being out of the supplies the designer wants. Interior design is a competitive field, but Mrs. Claire Boyce feels it is a rewarding experience for any- one who chooses it as a career. Someone with the desire to achieve will make it in the design world. It's fun and exciting and you never do the same job twice. MR. R. GRANDMAISON Business MR. G.
