As consumers flock to home centers and to the growing number of nationwide stores that sell home furnishings, ASID believes that partnering accomplishes some important goals. As we learn more about the habits and needs of the consumer through our association with the retailers, ASID hopes to guide these merchants to standards of excellence long associated with the professional designer. The details for this new membership category are still being developed, but ASID looks forward to the new opportunities retail partnering will offer. The interior design profession is in a state of flux. While its current status is hard to define, its future is even harder to predict.
Opportunities present themselves and yet can escape the non-attentive.
ASID plans on being there, in the future, right alongside all of our partners.
