One return, five conversations, and probably three different systems. 😵💫 As designers, why are we still doing this to ourselves!?
A $5K sofa comes back, a $4.2K replacement goes in and suddenly your team is reconciling instead of designing. Swipe to see where the thread gets lost and how Studio Designer helps you find it.

19 Hours is back. If you've attended in years past, you know that these are two of the most education and inspiration packed days for an interior designer running their own business.
This year, we're preparing you for the next wave.
The design industry isn’t slowing down and neither should you. Get real insights on pricing, AI, team structure, and what’s actually working right now.
No fluff. Just direction.

SWATCHED is coming! IDS’s live interior design competition is taking place in Long Beach, CA this year - we'll be there...will you?!
One hour. Mystery materials. One winner. This competition is so fun.
Since you'll already be in town, we would love to see you at Sip By Design on May 8th after the competition. (2nd slide for info)

What really separates a $400K client from a $4M client? It’s not just the budget.
Join LuAnn Nigara and Kate O’Hara for a candid conversation on the real differences between tiers of luxury design clients: how they think, what they value, and how they make decisions.
From risk-aware to experience-driven, you’ll learn how to recognize who you’re working with before they even say it and whether your business is positioned to meet them at that level.
This isn’t about aesthetics. It’s about understanding luxury at every tier and designing a business that can deliver.

Profitability doesn’t happen by accident, it’s built on the decisions you make every day.
Join @luannnigara at High Point Market for a powerful session on how professional boundaries and clear processes shape stronger, more profitable design businesses. From client expectations to contracts and communication, every choice you make either supports, or weakens, your foundation.
This session goes beyond “just say no.” It’s about building boundaries into the way your business operates so you can lead with clarity, confidence, and consistency.
You’ll walk away with practical strategies to strengthen your processes, protect your time, and make decisions that support long-term growth.
If you’re ready to run your business with intention and get paid accordingly, this is one you won’t want to miss.
Sunday, April 26th 1:00pm at the @designmasterfurniture showroom!

AI is powerful… but it’s also a lot.
If keeping up with every new tool, trend, and “must-use” feature is starting to feel overwhelming, you’re not alone. The pressure to adopt everything can pull you away from what actually matters: your creativity, your process, and your clients.
The truth? AI works best as a partner, not a replacement. It can speed up ideation and visualization, but it still needs your expertise to turn ideas into real, functional design.
In our latest blog, we break down how to cut through the noise, use AI intentionally, and stay grounded in the work that makes your designs truly yours.
