30-Minute Discovery Meeting:
The ideal starting point
for NC Triad clients who
want hands-on fabric guidance.
When you visit our Greensboro studio, you'll:
✓ Browse our in-studio collection of hundreds of home décor fabrics you can see, feel, and coordinate in person
✓ See designer throw pillow covers not yet listed in our online collection or available elsewhere
✓ Experience quality differences between more readily accessible
options, high-end linen prints, performance materials, luxury chenilles, and lush velvets—learn what fabric is right for your intended use
✓ Get advice based on your specific needs and lifestyle requirements—kids, pets, daily use patterns and sun exposure
✓ Obtain assessment of any fabric, trim, and/or inserts you already have for suitability and coordination possibilities—Customer’s Own Material (COM) evaluation

✓ Test out our favorite pillow inserts—discover what type of pillow insert is best for your needs

"Most clients tell us they learned more about fabric possibilities in our studio than in months of online research. You can see and feel quality differences that photos simply can't capture."
Available by Appointment
Our approach: The first 30 minutes are complimentary. If our conversation naturally expands into detailed recommendations, sourcing, design planning, or fabric evaluation, we'll let you know when we're moving into consultation time (billed at our standard rate). And we'll always check in before continuing—no surprises.
