High Point, NC 2011 Day 1
Decorators at High Point 2011
My team of decorators arrived in High Point, NC and are ready to visit 40 of our company’s most exciting and reputable companies. They all have day jobs (of course!), so they can’t visit the showrooms of all our hundreds of manufacturers unfortunately. The biggest question posed each year … “What are the trends this year with staying power?” Our Katie McGovern describes what she is seeing as “Industrial, Earth shapes, Natural/Organic, Ocean. Colors: vibrant yellow family & blues, TEXTURE and multiples are everywhere.”
It continues to be challenging living for many people financially and emotionally, and these trends reflect this reality. Organic looks really speak to people who appreciate discoveries in nature - that is, in their natural form and environment. Getting back to the basics after having cut out many of the extraneous add-ons and excesses of the last decade can be completely liberating. Vibrant colors and calming blues are a perfect palette to key us energized, cheerful and restful. Industrial and commercial design of furniture made its biggest move from the hospitality to the residential market a couple years ago. People who may not be traveling as much due to circumstances, such as an unpredicatable national or even global economy, are striving to create luxury accommodations at hotels and restaurants in their own spaces, especially their bedrooms, kitchens and eating areas.
Katie says, “We LOVE our lighting vendor, Natural Light, as well as, Soucher Marin, art vendor. We also like the Artisan Shoppe line completely revamped, looks like a Paris antique market…Fabulous, for any style. Two new lines of solid mahogany and walnut, respectively.”
This summarizes most of Day 1. Check back to see images of my team’s inspiring finds and what Day 2 brings.
