Where good taste isn ’ t expensive! “At IDH we create thoughtfully designed living space for our clients with the purpose of improving the way they work, play and relax in their homes. We offer a vast array of stylish furniture with innovative and timeless designs. From bedroom collections to dining and occasional pieces we are able to offer high design furniture that endures the test of time and is
uncompromised in quality.” And as such, Warman explains this is where people can realize some significant savings over the long run. By working with a qualified designer, the homeowner will benefit from their experience in how all the furnishings, colours and accessories fit into their style and need. For example, a homeowner with a growing family will have significantly different needs in their designs, from durable fabric choices on the furnishings, to traffic flow throughout the home, to colour choices; whereas an empty-nester may have much more ‘fragile’ expectations. “It helps to understand their aspirations,” adds IDH General Manager and senior designer Andrew Hood. “We like to talk with the customer and get a sense of their needs. We provide some insight – how this piece connects to those in the next room, paint colours, the tiles and flooring. We have that impartial way of looking at the space and not being shy about providing some advice.”
A
And it’s that advice that the designers at IDH provide free in-store, whether on full projects or just a few seasonal accessories.

“People seek professional advice for legal and financial reasons, why not for the home?” adds Warman.
