New Show: Chelsea Viau: Add Pattern (and Profit) to Your World

Today With Chelsea Viau:
Today with Chelsea Viau of Chelsea Lane & Company, we’re talking about the numbers behind your wallpaper—and why they matter more than you might think. Chelsea shares what every designer needs to know before sourcing wallcoverings, including the costly mistakes that can derail your budget, timeline, and client trust. We also dig into vendor relationships, client education, and the importance of working with experts who protect your process and your profit. Whether you love wallpaper or avoid it entirely, this episode is a reminder that every detail counts in a well-designed business.
LuAnn Nigara and Chelsea Viau’s Ah-Ha Moments:
“Designers are not wallpaper experts. That’s where we come in.” – Chelsea
“If your numbers are off, that’s on you. The vendor didn’t tell you to order the wrong quantity.” – LuAnn
