Trade Day is one of the most important parts during our process in interior design. If you're working on an interior design project and you're doing it on your own, you might be interested in hosting your own trade day. Trade Day is a day that we gather up all of our trades - all of the people that are involved in the project, that are going to help make the design happen and execute it. We have them come to the job site in scheduled intervals so they can take their measurements, photos and ask questions about their scope. We can collaborate, talk about things that are in the design that might be better suited elsewhere, or trades can talk together and say when they are going to install and in what order the work should be coordinated in.

On this episode of Your Favorite Interior Design Podcast, we connect with Niki Milliken of Design Lane.  The conversation is all over the place, lots of laughs and a sneak peek at what interior designers talk about when they get together. Plus, some slip ups and a conversation about hog tying, which after I googled it, apparently we meant hog rings. Hog tying is somewhat x-rated, depending on your scale. Don't miss this one if you need a laugh!

On this episode, we'll get into the top six things to share when requesting a wallpaper quote. These key factors should be to considered to ensure you receive accurate and comprehensive pricing. Here are six important things you need to know:

1. Project Location: be sure to ask the installer if they serve your area
2. Room Dimensions: Measure the dimensions of the room you want to wallpaper. Provide the height, width, and length of each wall individually to help the installer calculate the total square footage needed for the project.
3. Wall Condition & Preparation: Assess the current condition of your walls. Note any damages, imperfections, or repairs needed before wallpaper installation. This information will help the installer determine if any additional preparation work is necessary.  Understand if any wall preparation is required before wallpapering. This can include tasks like removing existing wallpaper, patching holes, sanding, or priming the walls. Be clear about whether you will handle these tasks yourself, hire a separate handyman or if you expect the installer to do them.
4. Wallpaper Sourcing: Are you asking the installer to purchase wallpaper for you or do you already have it. If you have not purchased yet, ask if you should have the wallpaper shipped to the installer's address or your own.
5. Wallpaper Type & Pattern Match: Determine the type of wallpaper you want to use, such as vinyl, fabric, textured, or specialty wallpaper. Each type may have different installation requirements and price points. If your chosen wallpaper has a pattern or design, inquire about the pattern match type. There are different pattern match options, such as straight match, drop match, or random match. Knowing the pattern match type helps the installer estimate the amount of wallpaper needed and the complexity of installation.
6. Timeline and Accessibility: Discuss your preferred timeline for the project and any potential constraints. Additionally, provide information about the accessibility of the space, including stairs, tight corners, or limited maneuverability. These details can affect the overall labor costs.

 By knowing and communicating these six crucial details when requesting a wallpaper quote, you can ensure that the quote you receive accurately reflects the scope of the project and helps you make informed decisions.
