brands we love working with

Frequently Asked Questions:

Why do you recommend these brands?

We love working with these brands because they are some of our favorites for quality, durability and aesthetics.

I already have a specific brand / product in mind. Can you help?

Absolutely! We can order on your behalf if you already have a specific brand or product in mind. If we are unable to order directly through the manufacturer, we can source retailers who may have the product in stock and give you options.

Can you work with brands not listed?

Yes, we can work with brands not listed above.

Are these brands available only through designers? Can you order on my behalf?

Some of the brands listed sell to the public; many are to-the-trade only. We are happy to order on your behalf for the latter.

Can these brands do custom pieces? Can we customize the fabric / finish / dimensions?

Depending on the brand and product, yes. If the brand does not offer customization at the time of order, sometimes we can customize after receiving through a local workroom - for example, reupholstering seating furniture or making custom valances and cornices for window drapery, etc.

Can you design around a specific budget?

Absolutely! We only work within your needs/wants list, budget and timeline.

How long does ordering from these brands take? Do you manage the ordering and delivery?

It depends on the brand and product. Some brands/products take weeks while others have local warehouses and we can pick up your order the next day - it depends. We can manage ordering, inspecting for defects and delivery. We can deliver either to the job site or to our warehouse.
