This past August, I was lucky enough to head to the Las Vegas Market for their biannual event. If you’ve been to market you know how vast, exciting and stimulating it can be. This was my second time heading to market, and each time I go I pick up new favorite brands and furniture pieces.
As a designer it is so beneficial to travel to market because you get to discover new vendors, see furniture pieces in person and really understand which lines resonate with your client.
Now when you get to market, there are literally hundreds of vendors that you could check out. As a loyal Sidedoor user, I made it a priority to check out vendors that are available through their platform.
I know that:
a. They’ve already been vetted as a reputable line
b. I will still be able to keep my streamlined process of ordering
As a designer, sourcing high-quality furniture and setting up vendor accounts can be challenging but crucial for a profitable business. Thankfully, Sidedoor makes procurement a breeze.
If you haven't been to market recently, please check out some of my favorite vendors and their beautiful new pieces. Hopefully this will help you discover a new brand or two, and some pieces that will really make your next project shine.
