Here’s how to get free one-on-one design assistance for your next big project

The Wayfair store is making its Ohio debut, and Columbus is first in line. The brand’s first-ever Ohio location will hold a grand opening weekend from June 26-28 at 1551 Gemini Place.

This location is so much more than a furniture store, it’s a one-stop-shop for your style upgrades. It also happens to offer a free in-store design studio, which connects you one-on-one with a real designer who can help you pull a space together, whether you’re tackling one room, or orchestrating a full home refresh. And did we mention that it’s totally free?

Here’s how it works: you book a free appointment online, come in with whatever inspiration you’ve gathered (Pinterest boards, paint swatches, that one photo you’ve had saved for two years), and meet with a dedicated designer who works within your style and budget. Any project, any aesthetic, any price point. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to make a room come together, this is the kind of service that you’ve been missing. The best part? It’s available well beyond the grand opening weekend, anytime you visit.

As for the grand opening, all we can say is: Clear your calendar. From June 26-28, Wayfair’s new location is offering up to 70% off everything storewide*. The first 100 customers in line each day walk away with a gift card, and there will be giveaways, family-friendly entertainment, supplier demos, and product displays throughout the weekend—plus a few surprises Wayfair is keeping under wraps.

*Offer valid from 6/26/2026 to 6/28/2026 at The Wayfair Store in Columbus, OH. Terms and conditions apply. See store for details
