Services

We understand that Design Professionals have other resource options from which to purchase furnishings and accessories. We believe that the actual buying experience separates Design Mart from other showrooms and alternative venues. A Warm and Friendly Atmosphere, True Hospitality and Unequalled Customer Service have become the hallmarks of Design Mart. To that end we strive to offer our Professional Design Clients a “Platinum” buying experience.

Design Mart’s customers are professional interior designers, architects and specifiers of fine furnishings throughout Northern California. We serve all of the San Francisco Bay Area and South Bay including Silicon Valley, San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, Santa Cruz and Monterey.  We also work with design professionals throughout the East Bay and as far away as Santa Rosa, Sacramento, Fresno, San Luis Obispo, Tahoe, Reno, Las Vegas and more.

Design Exploration & Brainstorming

When you’re stuck — and we’ve all hit the wall from time to time —you may just need to talk the problem through with someone who’s been there before. Stop by Design Mart for a relaxing vanilla latte and find a helpful staff ready to listen. Whether you are a new professional designer just out of school and working on your first project or an experienced pro with a unique challenge, the Design Mart staff will help you find that perfect piece to complete the vision for your client’s space.

Sharon Daroca brings 25 years experience to Design Mart, both in wholesale and retail residential interior design. As an award winning Interior Designer, who has been published nationally and appeared as a featured designer on HGTV, Sharon was co-owner of a successful San Jose based residential design business for 12 years. Sharon’s experience provides a unique understanding of the designer’s perspective in addressing design challenges as well as the “business of design”.

Logistics Expertise

Think about it... how does your furniture get from there to here? You don't have to worrry about it because we do. We have the knowledge of how to move furniture across the country, state or to the other side of town.

We know which carriers can handle blanket wrap or require full crating. Who specializes in freight out of South Florida? How about West Virginia? Why is freight out of Texas more costly than North Carolina? The answers to these and other challenging freight issues are a complex puzzle that we have worked years to decipher. We handle all of these issues for you. You don't have to worry, because we do!

Furniture Repair and Touch-Up

Problems happen. Furniture gets damaged. Things get broken. It is a way of life in the furniture business. We know how to address these issues, and we do. Design Mart stands behind every piece it sells, sometimes more so than the manufacturer! We can make the required touch ups, adjustments, and finish detailing so that you have the utmost confidence in any piece purchased from us.

If you are an architect, professional interior designer, or other specifier of fine furnishings, come to our wholesale furniture show room in San Jose, CA.
