The Benefits of Planning Ahead

Recently, one of our adored previous clients ordered a new sofa. She found exactly the one she wanted at a well-respected furniture store. She chose each piece of her sectional sofa to perfectly fit her space and taste. She was even able to take advantage of their Presidents Day sale. At the point of sale, she happily made her purchase…

Only to find out her sofa will arrive in July! She was crushed. On the bright side, she will be sitting pretty at the end of the Summer. We share this with you as a cautionary tale. The days of picking up customized furniture same day are now rare. For fully customized furniture the wait (while worth it) will be longer than expected.

That’s why the team at Design On A Dime encourages you to plan ahead. Planning ahead has so many benefits: budgeting is easier, stress is reduced, and more thoughtful choices can be made. If you are considering redecorating for the holidays, now is the best time to plan, we can help! You can take advantage of summer sales while giving yourself and our design team plenty of time to bring your vision to life. Also, our decades of experience work in your favor.

We know how to artfully fete the waters of supply-chain irregularities with unique solutions… Slipcovers, reupholstery, and supple fabric paints are all exciting options. 

We see a furniture update in your future. Let’s start now!
