In a recent interview, Monique Thornock, an accomplished designer at Furniture Fair, shed light on the pivotal role of personal comfort and expression in home spaces. With extensive experience in the furniture and design industry, Monique stressed the importance of aligning decor with individual preferences to create truly inviting living environments.

Dispelling the misconception that hiring a designer is reserved only for extravagant homes or substantial budgets, Monique emphasized that seeking professional guidance can remarkably transform spaces, regardless of their size. This ethos aligns with Furniture Fair's commitment to providing accessible design solutions for every homeowner.

Monique's journey in the realm of design commenced at a furniture store when she was merely 19 years old. Her unwavering passion for furniture and design led her through high-end design, ownership of furniture stores, and a brief stint in marketing before finding her true calling at Furniture Fair. Here, she passionately assists clients in bringing their design aspirations to life.

At Furniture Fair, a dedicated design center caters to diverse customer needs. Monique ensures a personalized experience by offering blueprint assistance, conducting home visits, and scheduling in-store appointments to directly engage with clients.

A pivotal aspect of Monique's approach involves keenly observing a space upon entry. This attentiveness helps her decipher its needs in terms of color, texture, lighting, and visual interest, ensuring a tailored and harmonious design.

Central to Monique's design philosophy is anchoring the design around items emotionally significant to the homeowner. Whether it's a cherished family heirloom or a memorable vacation memento, she leverages these elements as the foundation for her designs, infusing spaces with personal history and cherished memories.

Monique emphasized the collaborative nature of the design process at Furniture Fair. Rather than imposing her vision, she works closely with clients to understand their personality and preferences. Her role involves guiding and assisting clients in materializing their vision, ensuring the final result authentically reflects their essence.

The interview spotlighted Furniture Fair's commitment to creating spaces that resonate with personal identity and comfort. With a designer's expertise, homeowners can transform their houses into personalized havens, infusing life and cherished memories into the walls of their abodes, making them distinctly theirs.
