an interior design business has never been more exciting with endless options of suppliers and styles to choose from. Visit the High Point furniture market and your head will spin with so many vendors and showrooms to see.


But at the end of the day, designers need to earn a living and provide value to their customers.

The explosive growth of online furniture marketplaces, like Wayfair, designers are struggling to earn a profit from furniture sales compared to years ago. Furniture manufacturers require high-volume purchases to offer even the slimmest of pricing discounts and pass on high shipping costs to the designer.

If this doesn't sound painful enough then add in the cost for a warehouse to receive and deliver the bulky items and now the interior designer pricing is more expensive than a customer just cross-shopping the products online.









Buying groups that offer trade-only wholesale furniture purchasing has been a reliable platform, but they often third-party out the shipping, logistics, and receiving leading to inflated pricing. Some also require membership adding more expense to their customers.
