What should a trade furniture and lighting supplier actually provide?
For interior designers, hoteliers and developers, a good trade supplier is judged on five things: genuine trade pricing, accurate specifications and lead times, curated project sourcing (not just a catalogue dump), reliable white-glove delivery, and a single point of contact who answers. Marketplaces rarely deliver all five; specialist suppliers do.
What does Araco Interiors offer trade clients?
Araco Interiors is a BIID member supplier offering trade pricing across 1,900+ products spanning Araco Atelier upholstered furniture, Araco Lumière alabaster and decorative lighting, Tommy Franks, CTO Lighting and Lladró. Curated sourcing edits are prepared for individual projects — living rooms, guest rooms, lobbies, show homes — with UK-based support on 020 4524 7265. Apply for a trade account in around 60 seconds.
How do lead times work for trade orders?
Ready-to-ship stock (a dedicated Ready to Ship collection of 290+ pieces) dispatches quickly for staging and deadline-driven installs. Made-to-order pieces such as natural alabaster lighting typically run 5–7 weeks — stated on every product page so specification is predictable.
Which sectors does a trade programme suit?
Interior designers — curated sourcing support and samples. Hotels & hospitality — durable, specification-grade furniture and lighting. Developers & show homes — fast-turnaround staging pieces with consistent availability across plots.
