In-Home Design Services

Our In-Home Design Services bring over 20 years of fabric expertise and custom home furnishings knowledge directly to your Greensboro, Winston-Salem, or High Point area home. We provide measuring, strategic design recommendations and fabric consultation right where you'll live with the finished pieces—ensuring optimal fit, enhanced fabric performance and design solutions that work beautifully with your space and lifestyle.


Why Choose In-Home Services?

Minimize Measuring Mistakes & Ensure Optimal Fit

Custom window treatments, built-in cushions and bedding projects require precision that DIY measuring simply can't provide. One measurement error can result in expensive remakes or pieces that never quite look right. Our detailed measuring minimizes costly mistakes while ensuring your investment delivers exactly the results you're envisioning.

Whether you're being strategic with your budget or investing in luxury designer fabrics from our extensive in-studio fabric collection or our High Point connections, accurate measurements protect your entire project investment.

See Fabrics in Your Actual Environment

Your home's lighting, wall colors and existing furnishings significantly impact how fabrics look and feel. Our in-studio collection features hundreds of designer fabrics. During consultations, we can discuss options and arrange for specific samples to be available for your review in your actual lighting conditions.

This hands-on approach prevents the disappointment of fabrics that look different once installed, ensuring your custom pieces complement rather than compete with your existing décor.
