Industry Secret
Your Interior Designer
Is Costing You ₹2.4 Lakhs
On carpets alone. Here's how they do it.
You hired an interior designer. Paid them ₹3 lakhs for their expertise. Trusted their carpet recommendations completely.
What you didn't know: They're making another ₹2.4 lakhs. From the carpet dealer. On your purchase.
And you're paying for it.
The Commission Game
Interior designers get 30-40% commission from carpet dealers. That ₹6 lakh carpet? Dealer's cost is ₹3.6 lakhs. Your designer pockets ₹2.4 lakhs. You pay full price thinking you got expert advice.
How to Spot Commission-Driven Recommendations
RED FLAG 1
They only show you carpets from ONE dealer. Real experts compare multiple sources. Commission-driven designers have exclusive arrangements.
RED FLAG 2
They push you toward the most expensive option without showing cost-benefit analysis. Higher price = higher commission.
RED FLAG 3
They discourage you from shopping around. "This is the best, trust me." Translation: "I have a commission deal here."
The Real Numbers
| Purchase Method | Your Cost | Designer Commission |
|---|---|---|
| Through Designer | ₹6,00,000 | ₹2,40,000 (40%) |
| Direct Purchase | ₹3,60,000 | ₹0 |
You Save ₹2.4 Lakhs
Same carpet. Same quality. 40% less cost. Just by buying direct.
The Smart Approach
Ask your designer this question:
"What commission do you receive from this carpet dealer?"
Honest designers disclose it upfront. Commission-driven ones get defensive. Their reaction tells you everything.
"My designer insisted on a ₹8 lakh carpet. I asked about commission. She admitted 35%. I bought the same carpet direct for ₹5.2 lakhs. Saved ₹2.8 lakhs by asking one question."
