When I went to the furniture expo, I was told there would be several interior designer in the building.
I was hoping I could not just see the new style furniture I would be getting in the furniture store, but I wanted to get some good interior design help.
My furniture showroom wasn’t getting much attention lately. I hoped that with some good interior design help, I could find new ways to showcase the furniture and help it sell. I wanted to give interior design help to my clients so they can picture what the furniture is going to look like in their homes. I had been arranging furniture in collections for years, but it wasn’t working. I wanted to set up vignettes that showed mixed styles of furniture that formed a cohesive and pleasing atmosphere. I had once considered going to school for interior design, but it wasn’t in my budget at the time. Now, I was relegated to selling furniture and hoping for interior design help. I found one interior designer and she asked what kind of information I was looking for. I told her about my vignette scenarios and she smiled. I found out she lived about ten miles from my furniture store. She offered to come to the furniture store and give me a lot of interior design help. She didn’t have a shop yet, but told me she could business if my customers like her interior designs, and I would sell furniture and learn how to do what she did at the same time. It was a match made in at an expo.
