Serenella Interiors sees new opportunities and is excited by the latest trends within the interior design industry. Every design consultancy is working hard to minimize the effects of tariffs and maximize the value of your interior design project, but Serenella Interiors is uniquely qualified to take advantage of the current economic environment. Since our inception 10 years ago, our overall approach has continued to focus on identifying new products, materials, brands and vendors that lead the interior design luxury marketplace and ensure value-based pricing.
Serenella Interiors is committed to providing you with access to high value luxury items and materials in a cost effective, tariff neutral manner. While, at times, we can't entirely eliminate short term cost increases by tariffs, we can ensure that our product and materials sourcing efforts, along with vendor and contractor selection, mitigate short term inflationary pressures. We always are, tariffs or not, partnering with new vendors that provide the highest value, offer the most innovative design ethic, and result is the most cost effective pricing. Serenella Interiors will provide you even better service and more creative solutions, with a budget that allows you to realize your interior design and home renovation needs. We don't want you to delay or forestall your dreams and everyday living needs.
Some of the techniques that we always utilize:
Serenella Interiors looks for impressive locally made products and seeks alternative luxury suppliers from countries not affected by tariffs. We know many suppliers in other countries that are not subject to tariffs or are shifting production to regions with fewer trade restrictions. This also could lead to new trends or different aesthetics that may open up numerous other options not previously considered.
With the added costs of imports, we are focusing more on locally produced and sustainable materials. This could encourage the use of handmade furniture, locally sourced fabrics, or custom-built elements. Consumers may become more interested in investing in pieces that reflect regional culture or craftsmanship.
We are also realizing that interior design trends are leaning towards simpler, more cost-effective design solutions, such as pared-down aesthetics and minimalist styles, which require fewer and less expensive imported goods.
Tariffs can cause delays in the supply chain, leading to longer wait times for imported goods. Interior design projects may be delayed if the required materials are held up at customs or become scarce due to trade restrictions. Serenella Interiors adapts by adjusting product sourcing and identifying alternative, high quality materials that are readily available.
We also look for lesser known, up-and-coming brands that are not affected by tariffs but are now getting their proper due in the luxury market.
In summary, tariffs on interior design goods can lead to higher costs, shift sourcing strategies, influence design trends, and affect the availability of certain products. While these changes may challenge the industry in the short term, Serenella Interiors will work to open doors to new opportunities for local artisans and suppliers, as well as foster a more sustainable and creative approach to interior design
