Hello Tracy.
Hello Pauline. I came as soon as I could. What’s the hurry?
Thank you. You see, I have to buy a new bed and since you’re a pretty good interior designer, I wanted to get your opinion.
Okay but tell me, what do you have in mind?
I want to know if I should get a high back bed or a low one.
The back wall of your bedroom is plain, I think you should go for a high back bed.
Won’t it look overdone?
Definitely not! The other furniture in your room is straight and light so it will fit right in.
That’s right! Thank you for your help Tracy.
Pleasure Pauline!
I need to buy a low height sofa. Can you help me with it?

I’d prefer an L-shaped six seater sofa.
Oh, okay. You can look at our catalogue for designs.
Do you provide the customization option?
Yes we do. You can select any design you like from our catalogue and we will make it according to your requirement.
I like this design here. But I want you to make it in leatherette.
Sure. When can I send someone to measure the space in your room?
How about Sunday?
Sure. Thank you.
