Beth's December 2006 thoughts and the future for resort interior design.
I'd love to have a crystal ball to tell us the future for resort interior design. What we do have is observations and data which indicate robust consumer spending in resorts especially by the Baby Boomers whose first members reached 60 years old in 2006. The sheer numbers of Baby Boomers combined with their anticipated wealth (inherited and earned) make for huge buying power. Market Research tells us that Baby Boomers intend to spend more on vacations, spas and personal indulgences than any other generation.
What this means for Slifer Designs is more spending on second homes, higher expectations for quality, comfort and fantasy vacations; and greater demand for spas and services. This also means our client base expects more pampering, more luxury and more personalization of design and services than ever before. The 90's were about excess and extravagance. Trend gurus and sociologists are projecting a different kind of pleasure for 2007 which is based on feel good comfort, convenience, personal experiences and soft adventure. At Slifer Designs we are well positioned to meet the latest expectations. We have always had a culture of service and communication with our clients. Our policy of on time and on budget reduces anxiety and increases client enjoyment of the process. Additionally our design style most often creates pared down elegance which appeals to Baby Boomers and Gen Exers who want simplicity and convenience instead of the burden of excessive layering and opulence. What pleases the senses, the eye and the sense of appropriateness will rule the next decade. What adapts to personal tastes and creates unique experiences for clients will deliver utmost satisfaction. A little fantasy, a lot of comfort, and a generous dose of originality in each project will fulfill today's clients with the right blend of adventure and luxury to satisfy their yearning for personalized experiences.
Luxury is a state of mind and we at Slifer Designs provide the environment and atmosphere for luxury living experiences.
