High Point Market is leaning heavily into color, pattern, and trim right now. Fringe. Tassels. Pleated shades. Skirts. Decorative tapes were layered onto upholstery and drapery almost everywhere you looked, which is so exciting because these are things I’ve always loved.
The showrooms and pieces I especially loved were the ones featuring these details. Things that felt collected and a little playful. Upholstery with beautiful lines. Fabrics that seemed to carry a story already. Details that made a piece feel considered instead of generic.
I go to High Point to select vendors and craftspeople I trust, the ones whose quality and approach align with how I want to build for my clients. This means my clients get higher quality, more options, and customization that big retail can’t offer.
We spent time fit-testing cushions and frames, opening drawers, studying finishes, and asking questions about construction and materials. Beautiful rooms are not only about how something photographs. I believe they are about comfort, craftsmanship, and the way a piece lives over time.
It’s exciting to see this layered, whimsical approach becoming part of a larger design conversation again. And even more exciting to bring some of these ideas and resources into future projects. 💛
