Gorman’s Designer Room Program

Gorman’s Designer Room Program

by | Apr 9, 2025 | LBN Home, Troy

Gorman’s Home Furnishings & Interior Design recently rolled out its Designer Rooms Program, in which a Gorman’s interior designer starts with an inspiration piece and creates an entire room inside of one of Gorman’s showrooms. This helps people visualize what an interior designer can do. Design consultant Yolanda Williams created a room in Gorman’s Southfield showroom that is contemporary but purposely brings in some warmer elements. Gorman’s aims to spark inspiration with this program, and the rooms will rotate roughly every quarter.
