Professional Designers at Your Service

Giving your home an update has never been easier

With COVID forcing many of us inside beginning in March, coupled with the summer spike in cases, we are spending more time at home than ever. Extended time in our houses has brought home projects to the forefront of our minds, including updating our decor. The design experts at McKinney Furniture and Design are ready to help you achieve the exact look, style, and feel you're are after with the help of their professional designers.

Family owned and operated, McKinney Furniture and Design is a furniture store that offers customers an original, customized look at a reduced cost. Specializing in custom pieces made in the United States, you will find everything from furniture to unique accessories that complement your style and fit your personal tastes. Their elegantly designed showroom showcases their most popular designer lines decoratively displayed in tasteful vignettes so the customer can imagine the pieces in their own home. Customers can choose from a variety of styles, such as modern, farmhouse, traditional, or transitional. For the customer who wants additional design help, professional designers are available to help you.

When the COVID-shutdown forced businesses to temporarily close in the spring, store owner Marina Fox responded by offering free virtual design consultation services. With the use of technology resources like facetime, customers walked a professional designer through their home, discussing the changes they were interested in making.

Since businesses have reopened, customers now have the option of in-home consultations again as well. In-home consultations require a small fee covering the entire design process from start to finish. Regardless of the type of design consultation a client chooses, they receive the same hands-on service throughout the process. Customers can be confident that the team at McKinney Furniture and Design will make their decor dreams a reality.

The process begins with the customer/designer meeting. During the initial meeting, the customer shares their vision of the look and feel they want to achieve. The designer then draws up a recommendation to present to the customer within a couple of days. Designers work within the client budget restraints and will incorporate existing pieces into their recommendations if desired.

Their professional services don't end with the design and order, however. They will continue to make expert recommendations as needed and assist in the coordination of delivery and installation of your new pieces. Once the merchandise arrives at the showroom, customers can come pick it up, or for an additional fee, they can opt to have their furniture delivered. The delivery team also offers additional services such as art and light fixture installations.

Currently, living rooms are the most common rooms being redecorated. The popularity of accessories is also trending now. Like beautiful jewelry for your home, accessories are being used to completely change the look of existing spaces. Popular color schemes are bold contrasts of black against light grey or white walls.

Marina says she is very grateful for the support she has received from her clients during the scary spring COVID-shutdown time. The community support of small businesses has helped McKinney Furniture and Design maintain their staff so they can continue to provide for their families.
