Buyer Checklist for Architects and Interior Designers


A checklist for architects and interior designers who want pieces made to their drawings, with a table from drawing to brief.

Short answer: turn each line of your elevation or schedule into one brief field: size, frame colour, set or pack, frame style and artwork. Each is a normal request, and a physical sample corner is made before the order for the premium styles.
