At Furniture Showcase, we are happy to offer complimentary design service. Our designers can assist you in transforming your home into a space that reflects your personal style. Please feel free to ask any of our sales consultants to introduce you to a designer.
You can meet with a designer right in our showroom, and after that, it is often helpful to schedule an appointment for the designer to come to your home and view your space. When they come to your home, they will take measurements of all the rooms they will be designing for you, as well as, a few digital photos so they can remember the space. At the same time, they will make an appointment for your return visit to the store so that they may have a presentation prepared for you.
To create rooms that reflect your personal style, our designers will ask you a few questions. Here are a few items for you to discuss and consider in advance, that will help make the most of your design meetings:
How do you plan on using the space, and how would you like the room to function?
(Are there any issues existing that you are trying to solve?)
- If measurements or floor plans for the space are available, bring them with you, along with any other information about the spaces we will be designing with you right at the beginning.
- If you want to coordinate with flooring, paint, cabinetry or existing furniture pieces, bring samples if you have them.
- If possible, bring photos of your actual room – or you can send them to us via email if you would like for us to print them out in advance.
- If you have photos of rooms that appeal to you, bring them. (If you don’t love everything about a room, just tell us what you like.)
- How much are you thinking of investing in this project (now or in the future), and who will be involved in the decision making process?
- When it comes time for the follow up visit and time to make purchase decisions, it is helpful to make sure anyone involved in the decision is available to come in and help you decide.
Area Rugs
An area rug is a great place to start. If you are starting fresh, often choosing the rug first allows you to pull colors for furniture and accessories. We have a selection of rugs available and can order in a variety of sizes and colors from several manufacturers including Surya and Sphinx Oriental Weavers.
Window Treatments
Many of our upholstery fabrics can also be ordered by the yard to be used for custom window treatments. If you are interested in blinds or shutters, we can have a representative from Kirtz Shutters come and measure to give you a quote for your home.
Accessories
Well chosen and well placed accessories can make all the difference in a room. Our designers are experts at accessorizing – and if you are a Furniture Showcase design client, they can even bring accessories out to your home, place them for you so that you may decide which pieces are staying and what goes back.
