Howard Elliott’s AI-Powered Website (and Why Designers Should Bookmark It Yesterday)
Howard Elliott’s New AI Website: The Sourcing Power-Tool Every Interior Designer Needed
Howard Elliott just launched an AI-powered, designer-first website that solves two of the biggest pain points in product sourcing: stock uncertainty and slow search. We’re talking drag-and-drop image matching, real-time inventory, and built-in PDF tear sheets, all direct from their Chicago warehouse to your client deck.
Why This Matters for Busy Interior Designers
1. Image-Based AI Search
Upload a room photo, inspo mirror, or Pinterest find. The algorithm returns in-stock Howard Elliott pieces with the same shape, finish, or style. No more guessing or endless searching.
2. Live New-Arrivals Carousel
As soon as a shipment hits the dock, it appears on the site. You’ll see fresh inventory like mirrors, wall art, and pillows instantly. It’s perfect for tight deadlines.
3. Wishlist & One-Click PDFs
Curate project boards, export detailed tear sheets without pricing, and brand them your way. Your presentations are client-ready in just a few minutes.
4. Rep-Designer Co-Login
Need help adjusting a PO to qualify for a freight promo? Your Howard Elliott rep can access your cart, make updates, add notes, and send you the revised file. It’s instant teamwork without needing more staff.
5. Made-in-Chicago Custom Programs
COM pillows, poufs, and throws (with no minimums when you supply the fabric).
Custom-Color Mirror Program – Choose from 14 high-gloss hues that turn traditional frames into bold statements.
One-Off Back-Lit Mirrors – Ideal for spec-house builders or custom double vanities with serious wow factor.
