The Design Library: Your Competitive Advantage

Every interior designer has favorite go-to products- the tile that never fails, the faucet with flawless install feedback, the vendor who ships on time, every time.

But too often, that knowledge lives only in the designer’s head or scattered across project folders. When junior designers or new hires join the team, they start from scratch instead of building on the firm’s best resources.

That’s where the Design Library (coming soon!) inside Four Stripes comes in.

Turn Knowledge Into an Advantage

The Design Library is your firm’s centralized hub of trusted materials, products, and items. It’s built passively. Every time you add an item in Four Stripes, you can choose to add it to your library with notes, pricing info, vendor details, and more. You can then:

  • Curate a material kit to speed up future sourcing and client approvals
  • Tag top performers for repeated use across projects
  • Train new staff using your most successful selections
  • Reduce spec risk by pulling from known, tested materials

Build Smarter, Project by Project

As your library grows, your firm becomes more efficient and more consistent. You stop reinventing the wheel and start scaling your design intelligence across your entire team.

In a business where experience is your most valuable asset, Four Stripes helps you capture and reuse it.

Key Takeaways

  • Scattered notes and unlinked tasks slow down interior design projects and create avoidable stress
  • Important project details often get lost when tracked across phones, emails, and sticky notes
  • Four Stripes centralizes task assignments and project notes in one place, all tied to Finish Schedule items, phases, or specs
  • You can assign tasks directly from site notes or client requests, keeping decisions connected and visible
  • A streamlined note-taking process improves communication, reduces rework, and protects your time
