Where Do Interior Designers Shop? The Ultimate Insiders Guide

As an interior designer, one of the most common questions I am asked is “Where do interior designers shop?” It’s no secret that finding good deals on quality home decor can be tricky.

So if you’ve ever asked yourself Where do interior designers shop? Or where do show homes get their furniture? I’m here to help!

Qualified designers leave design school with very limited sourcing experience. I think this is the magical interior ingredient. An excellent little black book is essential to design utopia.

It takes years to understand who is who, why you should choose them, product suitability, quality and price point… Or where you should head for the cutest, most stylish, and best quality mid-century coffee table? This, my friend, takes practice!

But when you do, this is how you can achieve the client’s desires within the client’s budget… and make some profit because you’ve not wasted too much time hunting for things.

In this blog post, I will share with you the best places to find a range of furniture lighting, flooring, fabrics, accessories, window treatments and artwork for your home.

So whether you are just starting out on your interior design journey or you are looking for some new ideas or some brand new online shops with great prices, read on for the inside scoop and the best interior design shops!

Wholesale Suppliers + Sourcing Furniture

It’s worth mentioning that many of the furniture and decor stores listed are suppliers that generally deal with the trade. If you have a quality independent interior showroom or store near you, then you will be able to get access to these retailers.

If you’d like to be a savvy online shopper, save and get trade pricing at the home decor places listed below… Then stick around until the end as I’ll show you how to get your own trade account and shop like a professional. High-end interiors at affordable prices…

So, here are my top suppliers from around the world to shop and add to your little black book. Let’s get online shopping..
