C O M P A R I S O N OVERALL THROUGHOUT RESEARCHING INTO TWO INTERIOR DESIGN COMPANIES THAT BOTH SHARE SIMILARITIES IT’S CLEAR TO SEE THAT THEY DIFFERENTIATE HUGELY DUE TO HOW BOTH COMPANIES WORK. SPECTRUM IS A VERY WELL KNOWN COMPANY AND HAS AN EXCELLENT LOYAL CUSTOMER BASE, AS DOES NOVA INTERIORS. HOWEVER, NOVA INTERIORS APPEARS TO HAVE A ‘BIGGER NAME’ THAN SPECTRUM.

W H A T W E L E A R N T WE LEARNT THAT NOVA INTERIORS WORK WITH WELL KNOWN CLIENTS WITH HIGH QUALITY AND AFFORDABLE PRICES. WE ALSO NOW HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW MANUFACTURING WORKS WITHIN CONTRACT FURNITURE AND BESPOKE COMPANIES.
