having a home that is just a hodgepodge
of furniture. Something that is particularly
exciting is a good chunk of our clients are
actually renters."
How is Homepolish so affordable?
"We don't charge markups or commissions.
We don't want there to be any incentive for
a designer to come into your home and tell
you to buy new things so they can make
money. If a client can only afford the initial
consultation, we're giving you real advice
[during that time]. So if someone signs up
and says 'Hey, I want to pick paint colors'
during the meeting, our designer will come
with a paint book. Also we sell hours in
increments of five. Clients like it because if
you only can afford 10 hours this month, then
maybe you can buy 10 hours next month."
"You spend so
much time in your
home, it's a place
you want to be
happy. It's a place
where you want to
have that spot to
curl up with a glass
of wine.
