Designer ~ Chicago, Il "As a professional designer, I am able to procure many to-the-trade discounts and accounts; however, there are still those companies fromwhom I remain unable to purchase or receive a trade discount. LA Design Concepts expertly fills that void for my company. The staff at L.A. Design Concepts is always personable, knowledgeable, and exceedingly helpful. Recently, LADC saved me much money, embarrassment, and distress when I inadvertently ordered the incorrect color of a high-end wallpaper. They adeptly rectified the situation with grace and aplomb, for which I will be forever grateful. I am now a devoted client of LA Design Concepts for life!"

Consumer ~ Nashville, TN "Thank you for handling my orders. I usually don't look forward to figuring out the freight and delivery of items to my clients. Everything has arrived so perfectly. You have made the worst part of designing a joy. I will be back soon. Much thanks and best of luck with your business."

Consumer ~ Winchester, MA "Over the past 3 or more years you've worked with me, I just want to thank you and Ryan for your excellent client service, professional demeanor how promptly you always get back to me on quotes. As a person who knows what she wants, but needs a little help sometimes in 'putting it all together' your business model really works for me.
Great customer service in your business goes without saying. But what brings me back and the reason I refer you to my friends is because of your uncanny ability to suggest just the right furniture piece or lighting fixture, or proper scale--and you do this over the phone, from 3000 miles away, from a few photos I sent. I look forward to working with you in the future and wish you continued success!"

Consumer ~ Knoxville, TN "I would like to thank you for all of your help with my orders from Cache, Formations and Janet Yonaty. You did so much more than just placing my order and saving me thousands of dollars. You helped me with some design issues to include assisting me with picking out the trim for my ottoman and choosing the best tie-backs and stain finish for my sofa."

Designer ~ Houston, TX "I wanted to take the time and let you know that my client was extremely happy with her furniture. I was a little apprehensive using your services at first, but you have made the experience so effortless on my end. This is truly a great service to the design community."

Consumer ~ Monterey, CA "LADC is an excellent resource for both nonprofessionals and professionals who prefer to outsource the administrative support of design. The team is knowledgeable, efficient, accommodating, yet professional; and they have all been delightful to work with. From design advice and resource suggestions to the arrival of goods the follow—through has been outstanding. It’s been a pleasure to work with LADC."

Consumer ~ West Des Moines, IA "I have worked with L.A. Design Concepts on several occasions, with purchases ranging from pillow fabric to major items of furniture. Regardless of the size of the project, Frank and Ryan provided helpful, prompt service. I know my purchases through L.A. Design Concepts were far less expensive than they would have been through local trade-only showrooms, and will not hesitate to use their services in the future."

Consumer ~ Excelsior, MN "I am more than happy to recommend LADC's services. What a great concept for people like me who have had access to "To the Trade Only" resources through interior designers but want to do a project on their own. Being able to link to the products through LADC's website is convenient and fun. Ryan was particularly helpful and attentive offering to get me samples and cuttings. Every order I placed went off without a hitch. I am definitely looking forward to my next project. There's always something!"

Consumer ~ Greenville, SC "Finally, a service that allows the public the opportunity to shop and buy home furnishings that would normally only be offered to the trade! I have been greatly pleased with LA Design Concepts. Not only do they provide a huge library of designers to peruse, they have followed through dependably from initial price requests to the delivery of my fantastic pieces. I have saved hundreds of dollars by using the site and have been able to shop at my leisure. Ryan Brannigan has been helpful every step of the way. I will never use another source besides LADC for my interior design needs."

Consumer ~ Washington, DC "I simply wouldn't have been able to decorate my apartment without L.A. Design Concepts: from fabric for upholstery and window treatments to furniture orders, they helped with everything! They are always prompt, professional, and reliable, and I love having access to to-the-trade-only goods. I benefited from their advice and experience while still retaining my own creative freedom. I can't imagine decorating any other way!"

Consumer ~ Miami, FL "I am a homeowner in South Florida. After the last hurricane I found myself once again with an enormous refurbishing/redecorating project on my hands.
I have worked with interior designers in the past, and actually work with one now in combination with a local upholstery workshop.
This time however, I wanted to proceed at a slower rate while still having access to trade only items and trade only discounts. I enjoy choosing fabrics and furniture myself, and possibly spend more time on the process than I would be able to afford if working with a designer.
L.A. Design Concepts has quickly provided me with prices, dimensions, weight, shipping charges and every other detail I have asked for in a timely fashion. They are available by phone or email. I have ordered fabric and furniture and everything has arrived in perfect condition. The local delivery service has been very dependable. And payment by credit card is very convenient. They even offer advice when asked! I'm very satisfied with my experience so far."

Consumer ~ Eagle, ID "I have chosen L.A. Design Concepts because I like the idea that I can purchase "to the trade only" one-of-a-kind items that are unique and of high quality. The service I have received from L.A. Design Concepts has been outstanding. The designer (you) that I have been working with through L.A. Design has been very understanding and patient and more than willing to help me with my design questions. (Please feel free to edit what I have just said). I would highly recommend L. A. Design Concepts to the discerning consumer."

Consumer ~ Brookville, NY "I started using LA Design about a year ago after interviewing several local designers. I knew what I wanted --- but many designers just wanted to give me the same things they placed in residences of others. LA Design was different. They listened, got me in to any showroom I requested and gave me great prices --- always a double digit savings from my local designer. The merchandise was always delivered promptly and in perfect condition. They even had accessories directly shipped from Europe. Frank has been wonderful."

Consumer ~ Scarsdale, N.Y. "I wanted to thank your staff for all your assistance in obtaining access to the New York Design Center and placing our orders for my wife and me. We have used interior designers in the past and have had great experiences, but always felt we could do a lot of this on our own. When our furniture arrived, we could have not been anymore pleased with our selections. Again, thank you for all your help. Susan and I wish you the best of luck with your business venture."

Consumer ~ Manhattan, N.Y. "Hello Frank! Thank you for getting the quotations on the furniture items to me so quickly. I'm so excited about using your services. and I'm telling anyone who wants to have access to upscale furnishings without being taken totally advantage of! If my friends and I are any indication, the average woman today who is interested in decorating her home has a pretty clear idea of what she wants - she just needs some help in getting there. Access is key, as I said - I knew the fabrics and furniture I wanted but I couldn't buy them without paying a designer. She was a lovely woman, but in my case she really just served as a go-between to place orders of what I had already selected. I'm so glad I saw the N.Y. Times article on your company!"

Consumer ~ Richmond, Virginia "Hi Ryan, I'm so happy that you were able to get me the fabrics that I thought I was not going to be able to order. They are just perfect in my living room and thank you for saving me some money and for being so good to work with. I'll be back another time, and send my friends. Best,"

Consumer ~ Houston, Texas "The experience at the design center yesterday was wonderful. Thank you very much for making that possible. A couple of the showrooms had questions but they all worked out in the end. Scalamandre (who had the most questions) offered me a memo sample of a fabric that I'm considering for my daughter's room. Thank you again for making this happen for me."

The comprehensiveness of offerings-ability to provide furniture layouts, repertoire of manufacturers on your web site, sensible pricing and (oh so pleasant) talented personalities make your company unparalleled in every way. So genius! If I had one word to describe L. A. Design Concepts it would be breadth-"

Consumer ~ Chicago, IL "I am so relieved that I found your company. I'm always having clients wanting to order a single item from numerous manufacturers. This can be so time consuming working with a new company and getting everything set up. You definitely earn your 20% fee for all the stress this takes away from me. I've already told several other designer friends about you."

Consumer ~ Lancaster, VA "LA Design Concepts provided a platform for me to explore manufacturers, design styles, product lines and materials. I needed a buffet with specific dimensions that was not commercially available. The folks at LA design supported my ideas and interfaced with a company on a piece that required some changes in the overall height, leg design, and hardware. The fees and cost of the project were straightforward and they answered my questions clearly, which made me comfortable with the decision to use their services.
The buffet fits perfectly in my home and it meets my entertaining needs. I can’t wait to start my next project with them."

Keep up the great work!"
