Interior Design Resource Center
Designer Resource Center (DRC) Showrooms in Boca Raton and Palm Beach Gardens is the ultimate destination for all your furnishing needs as a trade professional. They sell furniture, lighting, rugs, fabrics and accessories from more than 180 manufacturers. Everything is strictly for interior designers, architects and others in the trade business.
A family-owned business, they understand the importance of finding the perfect pieces that not only meet your clients’ aesthetic preferences but also align with their lifestyle and functionality requirements.
The two stores offer different styles, catering to the area’s populations. The Palm Beach Gardens location features more traditional options while you’ll find more modern pieces in Boca Raton. The manufacturers may be the same, but you won’t find the exact same items. “We’ll do anything we can for a client,” says Lope Mendoza, owner and president.
The DRC team consists of specialists in furniture, fabrics and problem-solving. This group of hard-working individuals shares a passion for the aesthetic and environment created by decor. With customer service as their specialty, this team makes the designer feel as if the DRC Showrooms is their own studio.
“We always have our clients’ back,” says Mendoza. They know that you can get furniture anywhere from the internet to big-box stores to another state. But nothing compares to always having a fair process behind the product. “We’ll go the extra mile for each client. That’s what makes us different from a lot of people.”
They’re committed to supporting and empowering trade professionals. They believe success lies in having access to quality furniture options, reliable information and personalized assistance. Their purpose is to provide an unmatched experience, ensuring that designers have all the resources and tools necessary to bring the design vision to life.
The Boca Raton location opened in 2007 and the Palm Beach Gardens one opened in 2024. Future plans include opening another location in southeast Florida.
“I love waking up and going to work,” says Mendoza, who hails from Venezuela and lives in Boynton Beach. “This place has an atmosphere that you want to be in.”
