For those that don’t know, High Point Market is the place where interior designers, buyers the press, and everyone “in the biz” meets to purchase furniture, home accessories, and get the inside scoop on the newest trends before they hit the stores. Basically, it’s designer nirvana!

High Point Market is like a glimpse into the future, and for us designers and style spotters, it’s a great tool for helping clients stay with the times, and a fun opportunity for us to find our muse.

Here’s a sneak peek at trends to come…

Not only does Lucite add a touch of chic sophistication to a room, it’s also great for making a small space seem less crowded. The best part is, it’s a more functional than glass, and can be paired with practically anything!
