Inside Wallpaper Trends & Design Leadership with Melissa Pollack

In this episode of the IDS Podcast, host Brian Berkowitz sits down with Melissa Pollack, the Long Island Sales Representative for Phillip Jeffries and the current President of IDS Long Island. Recorded in the beautifully designed Phillip Jeffries showroom in Midtown Manhattan, Melissa shares her journey from interior designer to sales rep, highlighting how she found her passion with Phillip Jeffries just before the pandemic and hasn’t looked back since.

Melissa dives into the offerings of IDS Long Island, emphasizing the supportive, collaborative nature of the design community it fosters. From networking and social events to charitable initiatives, IDS plays a crucial role for both designers and vendors. The conversation then shifts to wallpaper—specifically Phillip Jeffries' evolution from ten grasscloths in 1976 to a powerhouse brand known for innovation in materials, custom digital prints, and stylish performance products.

They explore current wallpaper trends, customization options, sustainable practices (like their tree-planting initiative), and how designers can integrate wall coverings creatively—from ceilings to cabinetry. Melissa also offers insights into showroom visits, installation tips, and how to approach wall coverings in a project timeline.
