Building Strong Vendor Relationships: A Key to Interior Design Success

At Kathy Corbet Interiors we deliver high-quality, customized design solutions in a timely and professional manner.  Our vendor relationships are crucial for helping us to make this happen.

Our projects have us working with a wide range of resources from all over the world. They give us access to high-quality, unique, and varied furniture, fabrics, lighting, flooring, and decorative elements for our projects.  Through our interactions with them we stay up to date on the latest trends, technologies, and innovations in the field of interior design. And of course, this benefits our customers.

These are some of the top benefits our clients enjoy from our established relationships.

Assurance of Quality: Established relationships with vendors often come with assurances of quality. Reliable vendors that we’ve carefully vetted share our standards and those of our clients.

Customization and Personalization: Our designs often call for customization of products to meet the specific needs and preferences of their clients. We partner with our team of established experts to create tailored solutions including custom furniture pieces, bespoke fabrics, or unique finishes.

We lost a specialized flooring resource in Eastern Europe when Russia invaded Ukraine.  A local vendor stepped in to work with us on providing a richly stained European oak floor with gold leaf pressed into the wire-brushed grain lines.

Timely Delivery and Project Management: Smooth project execution and timely deliveries are critical. Good vendor relationships can facilitate clear communication and prompt delivery, reducing the risk of project delays. It creates a more streamlined process from start to finish.

I can find you the perfect light fixture but it won’t always be the right size!  No worries we draw up what we want and work with the engineers on making it and getting it right.

Problem Solving and Expertise: Vendors can serve as valuable collaborators by providing advice on product selection, offering technical support, and assist in problem-solving during the design process.
