Updates On Design Center Reopening
We are thrilled to have you back visiting our showrooms at the Washington Design Center soon!
With DC’s ordinance of Phase One, we will be in transition the week of June 1st and possibly June 8th.
Once Phase Two is announced, we will be fully open.
We are happy to support you remotely until then or contact showrooms for private appointments.
Please be mindful of the following restrictions so we can keep everyone healthy
- Social distancing of six feet - let's think an apartment sofa width or a pair of chairs
- You must wear a mask - have you seen some the fabric showrooms stylish masks?
- Use the hand sanitizer and wash your hands often - gloves are welcomed to be worn
- Follow Franklin Court Building's arrows, signs and traffic flow -they are here to protect all of us.
Help us keep the DC design community healthy and growing in business and great taste!
