You advise the client. We handle the installation.
Plenty of people are natural advisors: an interior stylist who instantly sees which colour a hallway needs, a home advisor who has guided clients for years, someone returning to work who loves dealing with people. What's usually missing is a product to attach that advice to — and a partner who handles the installation reliably. With Omnistair, you remain the client's fixed point of contact: you advise, craftsmen from our network measure, install and carry the warranty. For every realised project you receive a transparent fee. No upfront investment, no stock, no tools.
How you help the client
For most people, a stair renovation is a big decision they can't quite make on their own: which colour, which material, does it match the floor, what happens to the stair nosings? That's exactly where you come in. At the kitchen table or on the sofa, you walk through the options, let them feel the samples and help them decide. You're not selling at the door — the client has already shown interest, and you help them choose. That's the difference between advising and selling, and it's why this work suits people who dislike pushy sales.
The colour mixer: your finest tool
At our website you'll find the Omnistair Studio colour mixer: a configurator where the client composes their own flake mix. Together on the sofa, you adjust the colours until it feels right — and that design is ordered directly as a real sample, produced in exactly that composition. From that moment it's no longer your proposal, but their design. Someone who has composed their own colour and held the sample in their hands rarely walks away. For you as an advisor, the mixer is the most powerful tool there is: it turns a conversation into a decision.
Your advice becomes paid work
Every stylist knows the pattern: a generous consultation, a beautiful plan — and then the client orders everything cheaply online themselves. Your knowledge, someone else's revenue. In this model, that can't happen. The advice, the sample and the installation form one whole that only runs through you and the Omnistair network. When a project is realised, you receive a fixed, pre-agreed fee for it. No fine print, no targets, no minimum numbers — simply fair payment for the work you did: helping the client choose.
Measuring, installation and warranty: covered
The biggest worry in advisory work is what happens after your advice: what if the measurements are wrong, what if the installation disappoints? That's why the division of roles is clear. Measuring is done by a craftsman from the Omnistair partner network, trained in the system. The same craftsman installs the staircase, and the warranty on material and workmanship sits with Omnistair and the installing partner — not with you. You remain the face and the point of contact for the client, but the technical responsibility sits where it belongs: with the people who do this every day.
Short course: colours, materials and advising
You don't need a construction background. In a short, practical course you learn the basics of the Omnistair systems, colours and materials, working with the colour mixer, and holding a good advisory conversation in the client's home. No heavy lifting, no technical installation — the craftsmen handle that. Age or a missed career in the home sector is no barrier; what counts is that you enjoy helping people choose.
Shadow an advisor for a day first
Not sure whether this suits you? Spend a day alongside an experienced advisor. You'll sit in on a real consultation, see how the colour mixer works on the sofa, and experience the sample moment in the client's home. After one day you'll know whether this work fits you — before committing to anything.
Look the part with the starter kit
Every new advisor receives professional demonstration material: a complete sample set with the fifteen colours from the three collections, and a mini demo staircase — a scale model that shows the system, the stair nosing and the material right there in the client's living room. Nothing convinces like something the client can hold, and with this kit you sit at the table as a full advisor from day one.
Who is this for?
For interior stylists who want their advice to pay off without giving up their independent role. For home advisors and salespeople ready for their own schedule and their own clients, without shop rosters or Sunday shifts. For returners and part-timers looking for people-focused work without heavy labour and without start-up capital. The common thread: you're good with people, and you want your advice to count — for the client and for yourself.
