Interior design is like putting together a tricky puzzle that has dimensions, textures, colors and a ticking timer. Interior designers have to be: part artist, part architect, part psychic, part negotiator, and part visionary; while also being fully flexible and creative. The services that Alyshaanhas created are tailor-made and customized to be as helpful as possible to designers. One experienced designer who has worked extensively with Alyshaan is the owner of Design Dimensions, Barbara Kaplan. Originally from New York, Kaplan has over 30 years of interior design experience.
She says that 3 top reasons why Alyshaan is great for designers are:
- Attitude-always open and welcoming.
- Service-consistently is outstanding.
- Selection-in a word, huge.
Kaplan is always eager to use rugs as the centerpieces of her interior designs, “The best rooms I have ever designed have started with a painting or an area rug”
Kaplan said. Kaplan described rugs as very versatile – they are “a nice warm touch, an opportunity to hide wear or a problem area or to create a surprise or an interest in a room.” Kaplan said that her designs are not seduced by the current hot things. “Trends can be limiting and short-lived.” she said.
“That is one of the reasons why area rugs are so wonderful to work with. They are classic and have substance. Rugs are a timeless statement that can be used no matter what the color or style that you are working with…the ‘important’ thing for me is to please my client.”
Kaplan said, “A beautiful quality rug carefully chosen for the homeowner, will enhance a room and make a lasting personal design statement.”

Alyshaan realizes that the job of an interior designer is incredibly difficult. We strive to not add any more stress to their creative process but instead to be a positive experience in their artistic world. We want to help our designers collect all the compliments and help them to spread smiles across their clients’ faces.
Alyshaan’s marketing manager, Suzanne Daley said
“We never want to create a feeling of intimidation or anything like that; whether the designer is working on a small or large project, we treat them exactly the same. No preferable treatment, same respect, same information…The rug business has a reputation for being like the used car industry and we want to change that feeling.”
Alyshaan is inspired by and grateful for all the amazing designers that we have had the privilege of working with over the years. “Meaning…The rug gives room meaning.” Barbara Kaplan said. We at Alyshaan agree and understand because the designers that we work with give daily inspiration and meaning to our business policies and our company as a whole.
