Exactly what is Decorative Center Dallas?

Even though Decorative Center Dallas has long been considered the premier source for home and office furnishings, we're not exactly a household name. Why, you ask? Let's just say we're not a retail center. Instead we're a family of high-end, top quality showrooms, which cater to the design professional.

Are the showrooms retail stores?

Some are, most aren't. The showrooms sell product components that are custom ordered through design professionals to best suit the client's needs and tastes. An ideal sofa frame might be found in one showroom; the best fabric for the upholstery might be in any of 25 showrooms that feature fabrics. Designers maintain accounts with the individual showrooms and act as the retail conduit that transacts the sale for their client, so a cash register will not be a part of any showrooms décor.

How will a design professional help me?

Can I Visit And Look Without My Designer?

Requirements for admission to Decorative Center Dallas showrooms vary according to individual showroom policy. Most showrooms are open exclusively to design trade professionals (interior designers, decorators, architects, contractors, retail furniture/accessory buyer, contract dealers, specifiers, faculties managers) and design students.

Clients may accompany professionals to Decorative Center Dallas at any time. Trade professionals must make arrangements for clients to visit Decorative Center Dallas unaccompanied, by calling the showrooms they intend to visit, in advance. Children under the age of 12 are not permitted.

Is Merchandise Available For Immediate Purchase?

Most showrooms offer a limited selection of "off the floor" items. However, most of the fine furnishings you'll find at Decorative Center Dallas will have to be ordered. But this is really to your advantage. For one thing, many of the items in the showrooms can be customized. Others are handcrafted or one-of-a-kind pieces - work on them often starts after an order has been placed.

Designers, architects and members of the design community wishing to purchase on a wholesale basis are required to meet the buying credentials of each individual showroom.
