For most interior designers, sourcing means a dozen browser tabs, saved screenshots, vendor sites bookmarked across three different devices, and the constant mental overhead of keeping it all straight. By the time a product makes it from discovery to a project proposal, it has passed through more tools than it should. 

After months of development and early access testing with designers across the country, Catalog is now rolling out to Studio Designer customers. Built directly into Studio Designer, it brings product discovery, concept visualization, and project specification into one connected experience, so the work you do finding the right piece leads somewhere useful, without the manual steps in between. This is a meaningful shift in how designers work, and we are excited to share it. 

Interior designers needed a better way to get paid. 

Catalog gives designers access to more than 250,000 SKUs from 130+ trade-focused brands, all without leaving Studio Designer. Every brand in the Catalog is curated specifically for the design industry. These are specification-ready, trade-appropriate products from vendors designers already work with regularly. 

To streamline your workflow, you can save your go-to vendors as Favorite Brands — keeping your most-used lines and preferred trade accounts front and center. Whether it’s a brand you specify on nearly every project or a vendor where you’ve negotiated a house discount, favoriting puts those relationships one click away, so you’re not hunting through the full catalog every time. 

When you find something in Catalog, you can move forward with confidence knowing it belongs in a client proposal. No extra vetting, no second-guessing. Just products that are ready to specify. 

You may not always start a search with a precise product name, and Catalog is built with that in mind. Search by keyword to browse by product type, brand, or style. Switch on AI-powered search to describe what you need in plain language, the way you would explain it to a colleague. Or upload an image to find products that match a piece you already love. Filters for category, brand, dimensions, price tier, and more help narrow results from there. 

The result is a search experience that meets you where you are, whether you know exactly what you want or are still figuring it out. 

      Finding great products is only the beginning. Design Boards are visual workspaces inside Studio Designer where designers can save products from the Catalog, arrange concepts by room, and refine their direction before committing to a single project item or sharing anything with a client. 

      Before a project takes shape, ideas tend to pile up everywhere — Pinterest boards, saved screenshots, email threads you must dig through. Design Boards give you one place to gather it all and think through a concept before it becomes a proposal. 

        Your vision deserves more than a line-item list. Rendered visuals give clients something concrete to react to, turning what could be a lengthy back-and-forth into a clear, confident yes. 

        Once your board takes shape, use our built-in AI rendering tool to bring it to life. Upload a reference image of the room, add a prompt describing the mood or style — whether that’s photorealistic, watercolor, or anything in between — and the tool generates a rendered mockup of your selections in that space. No additional software and no waiting on an external renderer.

        When a product is ready to commit to, it can be converted into a project item in one click. Designers assign it to a client and project, select the vendor and sales code, and the item moves into the project ready for procurement and accounting. 

        When a product is ready to commit to, convert it into a project item in one click. Assign it to a client and project, select the vendor and sales code, and move into your project ready for procurement and accounting. Product discovery feeds directly into the rest of your Studio Designer workflow — no re-entry, no copying between tools, no risk of losing a product between the inspiration phase and the proposal. The whole process holds together.
