Become a franchisee kitchen designer
Among renovation projects, those involving kitchen design and decoration come out on top. Whether you’re looking for a kitchen that opens onto the living room, a built-in kitchen, a makeover or a bespoke design, the kitchen is a real living space. Whereas in the past, all kitchens looked the same, because we bought our furniture from ikea for example, today’s concepts are innovative. After the health crisis and confinement, people needed more comfort and home improvements. The kitchen franchises that stand out are those with unique concepts and strong market positioning.
Home and habitat franchises are growing every day. Far ahead of furniture franchises, kitchen franchises represent a buoyant market. Between the real estate market, which still has a bright future ahead of it, and cooking shows that make people dream of beautiful kitchens, sales figures for kitchen designers are rising steadily. As prices become more affordable, many people are looking to extend and improve their kitchens, choosing beautiful furnishings and sometimes turning to total renovation.
How to choose a kitchen designer franchise
To become a franchised kitchen fitter, you need certain skills, although knowledge of kitchens is not essential. Strong commercial sense, rigor, important managerial skills, taste for decoration, design and interior architecture are necessary. What’s more, you’ll need to make a personal contribution, pay an entry fee and have the capacity to invest. The best way to choose a kitchen designer franchise is to choose a brand that matches your contribution.
What’s more, you’ll have to choose your franchise concept from among those that already exist:
- Kitchen designers, including long-established names
- Top-of-the-range kitchen specialists, which has been making kitchens
- In-home kitchens: There aren’t many in-home kitchens, which is why they stand out from the crowd. Being able to visit the customer’s premises is a real plus for a kitchen franchise. This allows us to better understand the environment and see what can be done.
Starting a decoration and furnishings franchise
Alongside kitchen franchises, furnishings and interior design franchises are also booming. Nevertheless, the market is highly competitive. While some kitchen franchises also offer complete home furnishing concepts, franchised home furnishings and/or decoration chains are suffering from entry-level competition, such as Alinea. Nevertheless, the diversity of furnishing franchises is also a real opportunity for development for anyone wishing to discover new opportunities and undertake their own business.

- Recruit teams and surround yourself with people who specialize in interior design or who have already worked in the furniture industry.
- Create a showcase website. In addition to the products available, it is also essential to highlight specific layouts to give ideas for realization.

Starting a swimming pool franchise
When it comes to home and living franchises, the pool trade and pool builders are thriving. When individuals buy a single-family home, building a swimming pool is often part of the renovation or refurbishment work. Once considered a luxury, a swimming pool is no longer an outward sign of wealth. The swimming pool market is booming, and franchise networks are steadily expanding. Opening a swimming pool franchise can open up markets in construction, concrete pools, shell pools and above-ground pools. This market can also include pool maintenance services, such as filtration systems, pool and spa construction, and water treatment equipment shelters.
