Furniture selection and sourcing — Interior stylist
Furniture selection is useful when a room needs specific pieces but choosing sizes, materials and combinations is difficult. Explain seating or storage requirements, provide dimensions and access information, and distinguish essential purchases from items that can wait.
Service scope
Selection of furniture suited to a room's dimensions, daily use and visual brief, with an agreed shortlist or sourcing schedule. Purchasing, delivery, assembly and returns are separate responsibilities unless the appointment explicitly includes them.
What is normally included
- Furniture shortlist
- Fit and layout review from measurements
- Comparison of finish and practical requirements
What is not included
- Guaranteed retailer stock or lead times
- Automatic assembly or disposal of old furniture
Typical tasks
- Establish furniture functions
- Check available footprints
- Research suitable options
- Compare materials and finishes
- Prepare a coordinated purchasing list
What to include in your brief
- Required furniture pieces
- Room and access dimensions
- Existing furniture to match
- Budget per item or room
- Durability and maintenance preferences
Choosing the right professional
Ask whether the shortlist is independent of supplier commissions and whether the adviser checks delivery access as well as room fit. Confirm who places orders and handles damaged goods, returns or unavailable items before money is committed.
Important considerations
- A piece may fit the room but not the delivery route
- Changes in retailer stock can invalidate a shortlist
