Retailers also need a dependable assortment, knowledgeable support, manageable order minimums, flexible fulfillment options, and practical resources that make buying and merchandising easier. Whether you operate an independent shop, an ecommerce business, or multiple retail locations, evaluating these factors can help you choose a supplier that supports sustainable growth. **Choose an assortment that balances fresh trends with proven appeal** A strong supplier should help you keep your store current without asking you to abandon the products and styles your customers already trust. Look for an assortment that blends trend-forward colors, patterns, and materials with timeless silhouettes and established product categories. At Melrose International, trend development begins with research across home decor, fashion, lifestyle, hospitality, competitor assortments, social media, and changing consumer behavior. Because fashion trends often influence home decor, the Product Development team watches emerging colors, patterns, and materials and then translates them for the Melrose customer in a way that feels understandable and attainable. The team focuses on evolution rather than completely reinventing the assortment each season. Familiar silhouettes and proven categories may be refreshed with trend-forward finishes, colors, or patterns, while select new products stretch the assortment and introduce fresh ideas. New items are also paired with tried-and-true products to create coordinated collections that retailers can merchandise together.   **Look for support that continues beyond the order** Product selection is only one part of a successful wholesale relationship. A knowledgeable sales and service team can help retailers navigate assortments, connect with the right resources, and resolve questions when they arise. Melrose customers are supported through a combination of territory representatives, inside sales, showroom staff, and a dedicated Support Center. The Support Center assists with general questions, claims, and connections to the appropriate sales representative. This layered approach is especially valuable for local and independent retailers that want both convenient ordering and access to real people who understand the business. **Make sure the order minimums fit your business** Wholesale minimums affect cash flow, inventory risk, and the amount of space needed to receive and display an order. Before selecting a supplier, confirm both the initial order requirement and the minimum for future reorders. For customers in the continental United States, Melrose currently requires a $500 opening order and a $250 minimum for reorders. Canadian and international requirements vary. These approachable reorder requirements give established customers flexibility as they replenish proven sellers or add new pieces to their assortment. **Consider flexible fulfillment options** Dropshipping can help retailers expand their online assortment without purchasing and storing every product in advance. It may also allow a brick-and-mortar retailer to offer special-order items beyond what can fit on the sales floor. The Melrose Dropshipping Program has no dropship order minimum and no additional dropshipping fee. Available products ship directly to the retailer's customer in unbranded packaging, and Melrose provides inventory information, high-resolution images, recommended web titles, product descriptions, and detailed product data to support online selling. Retailers can use their own ecommerce website or sell through supported marketplace platforms. **Evaluate how and where you can shop** Retail buyers have different preferences and travel schedules, so a supplier should make its assortment accessible in more than one way. In-person showrooms allow buyers to experience scale, finish, and coordinated merchandising, while digital tools make it easier to browse and order from anywhere. Melrose maintains permanent showrooms in Dallas, Atlanta, and Las Vegas. Its 360 degree virtual showrooms allow retailers to explore complete Everyday and Holiday presentations, search by keyword or product number, create curated wish lists, and order products online. Digital catalogs and online ordering provide additional ways to shop at the retailer's convenience. **Ask what merchandising and marketing support is available** The best supplier relationships make products easier to sell after the order is placed. Product photography, display inspiration, digital catalogs, product information, and educational content can help retailers introduce merchandise consistently across stores, websites, email, and social media. Melrose provides high-resolution product imagery, digital catalogs, virtual showroom access, collection inspiration, and educational videos featuring merchandising guidance. These resources help retailers understand how products work together and give their teams a stronger starting point for displays and promotional content. **Why retailers choose Melrose International** Melrose combines an extensive everyday and seasonal assortment with a customer experience built around service, creativity, connection, and craftsmanship. Retailers can shop coordinated collections, work with sales and support teams, visit permanent market showrooms, explore virtual presentations, and choose traditional wholesale ordering or dropshipping based on their business model. The best wholesale partner is ultimately the one whose products, service, minimums, and fulfillment options align with your customers and your growth plans. For retailers seeking a broad home decor and holiday assortment with multiple ways to shop and sell, Melrose offers a flexible place to begin. **Frequently asked questions** **What should retailers look for in a wholesale home decor supplier** Retailers should evaluate assortment quality, product availability, order minimums, customer support, fulfillment options, showrooms or digital shopping tools, and the marketing resources available after purchase. **Who are the top wholesale home decor suppliers in the United States** The right supplier depends on the retailer's customer, price point, store size, ordering needs, and preferred fulfillment model. Melrose International is a national wholesale supplier offering everyday and seasonal home decor, giftware, garden accents, flameless candles, and related categories, supported by in-person and virtual shopping options. **What are Melrose International's wholesale order minimums** For customers in the continental United States, the opening order minimum is $500 and the reorder minimum is $250. Requirements for Canada and other international customers vary. **Does Melrose International offer dropshipping** Yes. Melrose offers a dropshipping program with no dropship order minimum and no additional dropshipping fee. Eligible products can be shipped directly to a retailer's customer in unbranded packaging. **Where are the Melrose International showrooms** Melrose has permanent showrooms in Dallas, Atlanta, and Las Vegas. Retailers can also browse the Everyday and Holiday assortments through Melrose's 360 degree virtual showrooms. **Explore Melrose** Ready to find the right products for your customers?
