When you hire a designer you're not just getting one person's expertise, you're gaining access to an entire network of trusted suppliers and trade professionals. This behind-the-scenes infrastructure is one of the most valuable aspects of working with a professional.
Opening Doors to Something Special
Designers build relationships with trusted direct-to-trade suppliers - fabric houses, custom furniture makers, lighting specialists, and more. These trade-only suppliers work exclusively with industry professionals like interior designers and architects, offering perks like trade discounts, specialized customer service and curated selections at a range of price points. These partnerships mean we can source unique, beautiful pieces that truly elevate your space beyond what's available to the average shopper.
The most expensive option at the big box store doesn’t guarantee the best quality. We can often get you a higher quality product for a comparable price or even better than what you will find in a retail store. When you work with us, you get:
Exclusive product lines not sold in stores
Custom options tailored to your exact needs
Performance materials that actually stand up to real life
Quality craftsmanship built to last
Extensive warranty
We care about finding pieces that won't show up in your neighbours house and won't fall apart in a few years. Your investment deserves the best option available.
Someone Who’s On Your Team
When you're spending your hard-earned money, you need to know someone's looking out for you. If something arrives damaged, doesn't work as promised, or needs adjustment, your designer will handle it for you. You won't be stuck spending your time dealing with customer service calls and return policies.
More Than Just Shopping
Think of it this way: You could create a delicious meal with ingredients from your local grocery store and recipes from the internet and it will taste great! But it will never quite compare to a high-end restaurant meal because the chef knows where to find the farmer's market vendor with the ripest heirloom tomatoes, the butcher who dry-ages meat to perfection, the spice merchant who imports directly from small growers. Those relationships, combined with their expertise, are what elevate a good meal into something truly memorable.
A designer's supplier relationships work the same way. Through carefully cultivated partnerships combined with design expertise, we're able to create spaces that go beyond the ordinary. These connections allow us to bring your vision to life in ways that feel authentic, beautiful, and uniquely yours.
The Bottom Line
When you hire us, you're getting more than design advice. You're getting a partner who cares about maximizing your investment and your vision through exclusive, quality products and a network of trusted craftspeople who stand behind their work.
