The size of Hickory Furniture Mart and the depth of the choices it offers can make furniture shopping overwhelming – but not for the pros at Designing Women, a locally owned interior design service located right in the Mart. The staff is so familiar with the Mart and its North Carolina furniture inventory, the designers can help clients save time and avoid costly mistakes by personally guiding them to the best showrooms for the furniture, fabrics and accessories to fit individual needs, style and budget. Our interior design consultants in North Carolina help a client leave the Mart with furnishings and accessories, a floor plan for the project, and suggestions for paint, trim colors, flooring and cabinet styles. Assistance with lighting design, window treatments, draperies and bedding also is offered.
