If they find a dining chair for $100 and the same dining chair for $200 elsewhere, it benefits them to show you the $200 option. Then they get a 20% trade discount and mark up your price 30%. Voila, you pay more for a piece that is often available for much less. These virtual plans are created by inexperienced newbies, underpaid designers, or foreign bots.
The companies lure you in with low fees. Behind the scenes, they're shopping a handful of stores from which they get big kickbacks. I opened Affordable Interior Design on a mission. Design for the rest of us! Design for the 99% who deserve a home they are proud of without maxing out their credit cards. Clients need someone to curate the options but not with a financial stake in how much they spend. Affordable Interior Design's commitment to transforming the industry remains as fierce and important as ever.

Our Designers
Report
Our designers have worked at high-end places (Armani, Thom Filicia, Inc., The Metropolitan Museum, Soho Grand Hotel, etc.) where we spent thousands on furnishings from exclusive boutiques for our clients. But that's not where we shopped for ourselves. We translated luxe looks to fit our budgets at places like West Elm, Overstock, & Ikea.

Report
Additionally, we offer a Virtual Makeover option for people who live outside of those areas. Because custom items are typically quite expensive and take a long time, we don't handle anything custom. We are happy to give you our advice regarding your custom project. We can discuss with you the pros/cons of built-ins, choose from fabric samples for your window treatments, or even suggest a direction for your cabinetry/tile.
Careers
