Pearls The Interior Shop

If you come down to A K Road, you will find us at L 2. This is where Pearls The Interior Shop is located. It’s basically a big room filled with samples of all kinds of things like wood, tiles, and heavy fabrics. We don’t have a fancy showroom with perfect lighting; it’s more like a workshop where we keep everything we need for our different projects. Most of the day is spent talking to people about what they want to do with their houses and what colors they like. We do a lot of measuring and drawing on scraps of paper or the back of old invoices. The floor is usually covered in a bit of dust from the samples and the cutting we do in the back. We have a couple of guys who are really good with their hands and they spend most of their time out at job sites around town. The office part is just a desk in the corner where we keep the bills and the supplier catalogs. It gets pretty hot in the afternoon when the sun hits the front of the shop. We usually have a fan going and some music playing on the radio in the background. It is a very hands-on kind of business. We don't use big words to describe what we do; we just show people the materials and help them figure out what fits. It’s a simple shop.
