Trade Secrets

Stock Your Sample Library

There is nothing better than having a full set of memos in your library for the textile and wallcovering lines you love most - are we right, or what?! In our own library, we have dedicated baskets for the lines we use most frequently so we can go back to them over and over again with ease. We’re curious - do you do the same, or is there some other way you prefer to organize your library? Whether it’s loose memos that strike your fancy or a more polished complete set, we’d be happy to let you know what’s available and hook you up with any of our artisanal lines’ memos - just say the word!

A Designer's Dream: Custom Colorways

A Designer's Dream: Custom Colorways

One of our all-time favorite aspects of interior design is the opportunity to let our imaginations run wild in order to create something completely and totally unique for each of our clients… which is why we have long since treasured working with boutique textile and wallcovering lines like the ones we represent in our showroom. Not only do these artisans produce best-in-class patterns and colorways, but the option to do a custom colorway (or even a bespoke pattern, in many cases) is a cinch and highly rewarding, creatively speaking! The process is way easier than you may think, and custom colorways are a simple way to create next-level customization for your client projects. Here’s a brief overview on how it all works.

Sourcing Quality

Sourcing Quality

Today more than ever we as a human collective are conscious of how the choices we make and the items we purchase affect our well being and the planet. From the food we eat, to the clothes we put on our bodies, to the products that we are bringing into our homes. As interior designers, we know all too well the importance of sourcing quality pieces for our clients that will stand the test of time but it’s also incredibly important to us that those pieces are made with the environment and our clients’ health in mind too. In our design business, we take the responsibility of sourcing quality super seriously and also relish in being able to interpret those nuanced details and differences to our clients. Many of the lines we go-to over and over again for quality are proudly represented in our to-the-trade showroom and we’re excited to share some specifics with you on the topic.
