The Part of Interior Design No One Talks About
Atlanta’s design scene sparkles on Instagram feeds: perfectly styled vignettes, luxury fabrics, and custom millwork. But what you don’t see? The warehouses, the crates, the receiving logs, and the quiet choreography of installation day.
At Caudelle, we like to call this the “design behind the design.”
Because while your clients are admiring their curated gallery wall, what really made it possible was a dozen skilled hands, a few sharp measuring tapes, and more than one white gloved installer on a ladder.
How Receiving Shapes the Design Process
Think of receiving as the "dress rehearsal" for a project.
Each shipment is opened, inspected, and logged into our warehouse management system
Receiving reports are created (so no one discovers a chipped marble table on installation day)
Items are stored in our secure, climate controlled warehouse, until the designer call for them
It's not glamorous, but it's where peace of mind is born.
Installation Day: Where precision Meets Performance
If receiving is the rehearsal, installation day is opening night. Every piece must land in the right place, at the right angle, without a single scratch or wobble.
Here’s what sets Atlanta’s top white glove installers apart:
Laser-level hanging: Art and mirrors aligned with architectural precision.
Zero wait teams: Every installer trained to handle all facets, no waiting for “the art guy” to show up.
Attention to detail: Felt pads under chair legs, gloves on polished brass, no fingerprints left behind.
Designer first mindset: We take care of the heavy lifting (literally) so you can focus on styling.
Why Atlanta Designers Partner with Caudelle
Atlanta isn’t just another design market, it’s a blend of Southern tradition and global luxury. That means projects are often layered with antiques, fine art, and cutting edge furnishings, all of which demand specialized care.
Our clients choose Caudelle because they know:
Their pieces will be received and protected as carefully as they were sourced.
Their installation day will feel seamless, professional, and, dare we say, stress free.
Their clients will walk in and see perfection, not packing tape.
A Witty Truth
Designers get the spotlight. Installers? We’re the quiet understudies. But here’s the inside joke: the audience (aka your clients) will never know just how many moving parts were orchestrated behind the scenes, because we make sure they don’t have to.
