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, reliability and aesthetics for floor/wall tile and mosaics, luxury vinyl flooring (LVP), quartz countertops, bathroom/kitchen fixtures, cabinetry and cabinet hardware (pulls/handles), lighting and fans, window treatments, rugs, bedding and indoor / outdoor furniture.

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.

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 these brands sell directly 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 furniture or making custom window drapery, etc.

Can you design around a specific budget?

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

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

Shipping times vary depending on the brand and product. Yes, we can manage ordering, inspecting for defects, delivery (to the project site or to our warehouse) and haul away packaging so you don’t have to lift a finger.

I’m a trade rep and I would like to share the brand(s) I represent for your consideration. What is the best way to connect?
