世界五百?gòu)?qiáng)企業(yè)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者和市場(chǎng)總監(jiān)對(duì)于室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)師們的忠告，告誡室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)師如何更好的服務(wù)客戶，可看作室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)師守則，對(duì)于各大裝飾公司也具有積極的借鑒作用。

這些室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)師守則分別是：

1. Punctuality is important, it is important to anyone who is professional, which includes designers.
2. I believe there is meaning and a story behind your designs and works, but if you don't put effort into telling me, how will I fully understand?
3. Communicate patiently with your clients. Remember, they are not designers, so use their language to get your idea across.
4. Things are not design oriented; your design will first and foremost be used to deliver a message to the market for your client, before it is an item of personal artistic expression.
5. Never engage in an argument or oppose the person who holds your cheque; he/she is probably more concerned about the outcome of your design than yourself.
6. Respect the deadline, meeting it improves your credibility and will impact your career development.
7. People prefer to talk to someone who is presentable, meaning clean and tidy. Stylish doesn't have to mean unclean and untidy, do you catch my drift?
8. Your reputation can be proved by business references or winning awards. Don't forget to win more awards, because it is what customers believe in.
9. Never get angry during the price negotiation process, it's just business and nothing to do with insulting your work. There is no reason for them to do so anyway, if you really think about it.
10. Never, ever, attempt to copy others' designs for any reason at all.

翻譯為中文，這些設(shè)計(jì)師守則為：

1. 守時(shí)是十分重要的，特別是專業(yè)人員，專業(yè)人員包括設(shè)計(jì)師。
2. 我相信每個(gè)你的設(shè)計(jì)和作品背后都有一個(gè)意思和故事，但你不用心去說(shuō)明，我又如何可完全明白呢？
3. 要有耐性和你的客戶溝通。緊記他們并非設(shè)計(jì)師，故須用他們的語(yǔ)言來(lái)闡述你的觀點(diǎn)。
4. 作品并非設(shè)計(jì)主導(dǎo)的，在為藝術(shù)家表達(dá)自己之前，你的設(shè)計(jì)首先及主要為你的客戶用于傳遞一個(gè)市場(chǎng)信息。
5. 永不與付款給你的人爭(zhēng)論或?qū)?，?她們肯定比你更關(guān)心設(shè)計(jì)后的結(jié)果。
6. 尊重期限時(shí)間，做到將可改善你的可信任度和增進(jìn)你的事業(yè)發(fā)展。
7. 人們喜歡與注重外型的人傾談，意思是清潔及整齊。型格并非是骯臟及混亂，你能領(lǐng)略我的意思嗎？
8. 你的名氣是來(lái)自商業(yè)推介或獲取獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。不要忘記去獲取更多獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，它會(huì)使顧客更相信你。
9. 不要在討論價(jià)錢過(guò)程中動(dòng)怒，這只是商業(yè)而己，他們并非在羞辱你的作品。你要知道，他們并沒(méi)有任何理由去做此事的。
10. 無(wú)論任何理由，永不要企圖抄襲別人的設(shè)計(jì)。
