Interior Design in Knoxville — Our Designers Set Us Apart

Any design work related to furniture selection — choosing pieces, fabrics, finishes, and layouts from our collection — is always complimentary. For multi-room and whole-home projects, we require a deposit starting at $1,500 to secure your designer's time, ranging up to $3,000–$5,000 for larger homes. The best part? Your retainer credits directly toward your furniture purchase, so the investment in design goes right back into furnishing your home. Any design time beyond what's included is billed at $85 per hour.

Most independent designers charge by the hour, mark up the furniture they source, and add separate fees for freight and storage. Because Braden's is both a design studio and a furniture retailer, we source directly from over 200 premium brands at manufacturer pricing — and pass that value on to you. No storage fees, no freight surprises, no product markups. You get boutique-level design with retail-level pricing.

We carry over $6 million in in-stock inventory across our two showrooms, so many pieces are available for immediate or near-immediate delivery. For special orders — custom fabrics, finishes, or configurations — most vendors deliver in 4–8 weeks. Highly customized pieces or certain vendors can take longer, and your designer will give you a clear timeline before you place your order so there are never any surprises.

As early as possible. The earlier we're involved, the more we can coordinate with your architect and builder on everything from furniture layouts and finish selections to lighting plans and built-in details — decisions that are much harder (and more expensive) to change after the walls go up. And don't worry about timing your furniture purchase around your build schedule. We have a 70,000-square-foot warehouse and are happy to hold your selections until your home is ready for delivery and installation.

It starts with a conversation — in our showroom, in your home, or virtually. From there, your designer develops concepts, floor plans, and material selections tailored to your space. For larger projects, that includes detailed schematic designs, elevations, finish selections, and full design presentations. Once everything is approved, we handle ordering, coordination, and white-glove installation.

Yes — this is one of our strengths. Our designers regularly collaborate with architects and contractors on new builds and renovations, handling everything from finish selections and interior architecture to furniture planning around construction timelines.

Our design service is built around our curated collection, and our designers have hands-on knowledge of every piece we carry. That's what allows us to offer complimentary and retainer-credited design — the service and the product work together to deliver better value than either would alone.

Absolutely. Our designers are experienced at blending existing pieces with new selections to create a cohesive, refreshed look — whether that's keeping a few favorites or building around an heirloom.

Yes. We design for restaurants, hotels, apartment complexes, shared outdoor spaces, and rental properties. The same team and buying power behind our residential work applies to commercial — so you get design-driven spaces at a competitive price point. Interior designers, builders, and stagers can also join our trade program for trade pricing across every line we carry.

Yes — 12-month special financing is available through Wells Fargo, so you can bring your design vision to life on a timeline that works for your budget.
