First, having been in the Home Furnishings & Interior Design biz for 30 years, I have watched MANY workrooms, the level of expertise and their pricing.
My Opinion: There seems to be 3 levels of expertise in the workroom field, & possibly in the interior design field also.
1. Mechanic -- follows directions reasonably well. New to business. Not a lot of expertise in actually manufacturing treatments.
2. Journeyman-- Commercial Workrooms & many home based or small workrooms -- You get what you ask for, if you know what to ask for.....some bells or whistles.
3. Master-- Couture Quality, Exceptional Quality, Top-0f-the-Line! Someone with years in the business, can assist with fabric selection (knows there is a differnce between how sheers & velvets hang...a story for another time), always pattern-matches! Sets high standards for any item that leaves. Educated.
Workrooms are only as good as their designers.....
