"To The Trade": What Does it Mean & How Does it Benefit Our Clients?

If you're a sophisticated individual with an eye for design and decor, chances are you've heard the term "To The Trade" being used in conversations about interior design. What exactly does this phrase mean? In essence, interior designers like Maison Blanc Design, have cultivated special relationships with to-the-trade-only vendors. This means that when working with MBD, clients gain access to vendors who they otherwise would not be able to utilize. We have vetted these vendors and built our list of preferred/go-to’s. Today's post will explore the concept of “To The Trade” further, outlining how our clients benefit from purchasing premium pieces of furniture.

Collaborating with our exclusive to-the-trade vendors empowers us to craft one-of-a-kind spaces that embody the unique tastes and preferences of our clients. Unlike typical retail store designs, our projects stand out from the crowd and are completely bespoke, ensuring that our clients won't see the same design elsewhere.

By leveraging our partnerships with to-the-trade vendors, we are able to offer customized fabrics on upholstery pieces, further enhancing the individuality of each project. This allows us to create truly unique pieces that are not only beautiful, but also cater to our client's specific needs and preferences. In addition to customization, working with to-the-trade vendors ensures that we provide our clients with the highest quality pieces that are crafted to last for years. These handcrafted pieces are constructed with precision and care, using only the best materials to create lasting beauty and functionality.

Opting for these premium pieces means you'll benefit from their exceptional quality, as each item is crafted using the finest materials and manufacturing techniques, guaranteeing superior durability and longevity. Furthermore, because they are exclusively available to the trade, you can rest assured that your investment is in pieces that are distinct and rare.

Ultimately, investing in to-the-trade pieces is a smart choice for those who want to add a touch of luxury and exclusivity to their space while enjoying the assurance of top-quality craftsmanship and materials. Don't settle for cookie-cutter retail options; instead, opt for the personalized, high-end look that to-the-trade pieces can offer.
