  By the turn on the 20th century, amateur advisors and publications were increasingly challenging the monopoly the large retail companies had on home design. English feminist author Mary
  Haweis wrote several widely read essays from the 1880s where she derided the eagerness which aspiring middle-class
  people furnished their houses good rigid models agreed to them through
  the retailers.[10] She advocated the consumer adoption of
  any particular style, tailor-made to the average person needs and preferences
  with the customer:
  
  "One of my strongest convictions, and one with the first canons of excellent taste, is our houses, much like the fish’s shell and also the bird’s nest, must represent our individual taste and habits.
  The move toward decoration like a separate artistic profession, unrelated towards the manufacturers and retailers, received an impetus with all the 1899 formation from the Institute of British Decorators; with John Dibblee Crace as the president, it represented almost 200 decorators round the country.[11] By 1915, the London Directory listed 127 individuals trading as interior decorators, that 10 were women. Rhoda and Agnes Garrett were the initial women to coach professionally as decorators in 1874. The importance of their work towards design was regarded right at that moment as using a par to be able of William Morris. In 1876, their work – Suggestions for House Decoration in Painting, Woodwork and Furniture – spread their applying for grants artistic decor to a wide middle-class audience.[12]
