Unfortunately most people have an innate sense of what looks right to them. This looks awful to most everyone else. Design seems to be the art of discovering the small common overlap in the majority of people's "sense". To the uninitiated, this makes a good design based on their ideas seem empty and incomplete. It takes a lot of trust to accept that when your designer says it's done, it's done. The temptation to add the parts you think are missing is nearly overwhelming.
If you haven't built up this trust with this particular clinet, there is likely little you can do. Work with what you have. Make what suggestions you can. Accept that this time around the end result is going to be cluttered and clunky and that your client will think it's magnificent.
