LRMID makes sure that the furniture's size fits the room and complements the style, but most importantly we make sure it fits within your budget.
Today we will be discussing how to maximize your cost savings without having to compromise quality. There are many intricacies of the interior design industry, so even though you might be the savviest and most economic shopper at your local mall, chances are the trade secrets of designing are hovering just below your radar, consequently costing you hundreds.
Where do you begin to save money? For starters, your very own designer could be hindering your chances of executing an affordable house renovation. A designer might know which color towels will complement your bathroom tiles or can expertly match a leather ottoman to your couch, but what makes a good designer? A good designer will have mastered buying power, or as I would like to say, “trimming the fat”. To put it simply, it means that your designer should be adept at the art of penny-pinching and saving you every last dime possible, all the while maintaining quality.
You may be familiar with the term, “To The Trade Only.” This refers to showrooms or manufacturers that only sell to certified interior designers. As designers, we have access to these suppliers, and taking advantage of these opportunities means having the ability to purchase and sell furniture at great discounts. We establish relationships with suppliers and factories and negotiate better pricing, which means big savings for our clients. Unfortunately, not all designers are proficient in dealing and negotiating with manufacturers, which could cost their clients a lot of money. Other designers might mark up furniture prices with “overhead costs” and commissions, ultimately charging their clients for much more than necessary so that they can in turn pocket the profit.
At LRM, we hold pride ourselves in finding the best prices possible for our clients without sacrificing quality. We pass on as much savings as possible to our clients, saving them copious amounts of money that they can invest elsewhere, like their children’s college tuition or towards that dream Bahamas vacation.
Have you ever bought accessories or draperies, only to realize they don’t look good, or don’t coordinate with your existing pieces? Do you find yourself buying things and then returning them because they don’t work? Maybe you have a friend who is ready to start over and throw out their college furniture. Do you know someone who has MFS (Matching Furniture Syndrome)? Whatever the case, LRM Design is the one-stop shop for all of your designing needs, and you can trust us with the highest quality service and the utmost integrity to help you maximize your budget.
