Ghiasi Designs is a furnishings and interior design business run by 24-year industry veteran Arash Ghiasi.
“Over the past three decades, I’ve owned a clothing store, multiple home furnishings stores as well as an art gallery,” Ghiasi said. “This experience has enabled me to have a great understanding of trends as well as what products and services clients will love and appreciate for years to come.”
The La Jolla Light asked Ghiasi the following questions to find out more.
Q. How did your business start?
A. I was formerly in the fashion business as a stylist and clothier with a knack for making people and places look great. I was going though a life transition and was moving out of my residence.
I figured I was starting a new chapter in life so I would sell a lot of the furnishings, and as I did that and I sold most of the awesome furnishings that I had accrued, I thought to myself, “What if I can help others do the same thing"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=8b64ff35-2d21-481e-88ae-8562dded85bd&cid=1ffe15d6-eb53-11e9-b4d2-06948452ae1a'; cnx.cmd.push( function() { cnx( { playerId: "8b64ff35-2d21-481e-88ae-8562dded85bd" } ).render( "11982501ceb44352bd1e95848c612274" ); } );
The phone started to ring off the hook, and next thing you know, from a garage I transitioned into my first consignment shop and gradually started to bring in new furniture. Within two years, I was in one of the top malls in the United States.
Q. What is your mission?
A. I strive to inspire people and show them how to transform their ordinary places to extraordinary homes and businesses. In 24 years’ experience in the industry, I’ve come to find most people have an idea what they like but don’t know how to bring it all together.
Q. What services do you offer?
A. I offer residential and commercial interior design services as well as provide bespoke furniture and accessories.
Interior design consulting services provide recommendations for furniture, accessories, paint coolers, flooring, cabinets and just about everything aesthetically needed to create a cohesive and stunning environment. This service also provides my clients with related links where they can purchase the items and implement them into their home or business. You can call this the gold package.
Turnkey design services are for clients who don’t have the time or desire to deal with any aspect of the project. So I offer complete solutions from beginning to the end. You can call this the platinum package.
Bespoke furniture services provide solutions to accommodate clients’ specific style, needs and measurements for their space. We offer in-home consulting in which we can bring fabrics to our clients’ home, take measurements and show them a variety of bespoke options.
Q. What makes Ghiasi Designs unique compared with similar businesses?
A. My vast experience in this industry, ion for design and ability to help my clients see the vision for their home or business enable me to get more done in less time. Time is our most precious commodity, so I don’t believe in stretching out projects to accumulate hourly rates.
I offer easy-to-understand services catering to my clients’ needs. The process and experience should be fun, creative, effective and simple.
Q. What’s new with the business that you want everyone to know about?
A. I’m now launching my online store highlighting some of my designs.
Ghiasi Designs typically is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, and on Saturdays, depending on clients’ schedules. For more information, visit ghiasidesigns.com, call (858) 925-3600 or email [email protected].
