The professional home of interior design
You have built the room around one piece, the client loves it, and then the supplier confirms a lead time that no longer fits the programme. Do you present the delay, source the closest alternative, or redesign the scheme around something available now?

I present three choices: keep the piece and revise the timeline, approve a genuinely comparable alternative, or use a temporary piece. Giving the client clear consequences makes the decision easier.
I avoid calling something an alternative unless the material, scale, and feeling still support the concept. Sometimes the honest answer is that the room needs a small redesign.
