In just a few more weeks High Point Market will be here and social media will be filled with some of the most gorgeous, luxurious home furnishings – it will be like a show in itself on social media! I love seeing what the designers are bringing to market. There are so many different designs of colors, textures and lighting!

I don’t get to make it to High Point Market because I have work here that needs my attention. However, some of that work is in the interior design industry so I am always present on social media during market to help promote, cheer on and drool over all the beautiful designs.

So visit and follow me on Twitter and I’ll be happy to tweet your designs into the #HPMkt stream! I hope to see you out there!

Everyone walking the market are sharing their finds with gorgeous pictures filling up the Twitter feed with all that is beautiful in home design. It is a sight to see and I can only imagine what it’s like to actually be there!

This season I am collecting all my finds on the High Point Market Twitter feed and putting together a slide show – so come back and see it after market!

Have a great time everyone!

Unfortunately, some of us interior design lovers, like me, don’t make it to High Point, North Carolina for the show, but thanks to the awesome people at High Point Market Authority they make it easy for us to catch some of the excitement!

What Were They Thinking? – Wednesday

Missoni

Remember back, a while ago, it was unheard of to combine stripes with floral?

These days, it’s not so much of a no-no. Coming out of Missoni, which is known for lots of colors in a variety of patterns, is this presentation of mixing and matching all these colors in different patterns, but on the same furniture piece. Kind of like patchwork, although don’t for a second let a novice patchwork piece fool you because if you look close you can tell the difference. You will begin to recognize which products are simply made by random pieces of fabric patched together and which are carefully designed with patterns, lines of the patterns, and colors specifically selected to be included in one piece.

While cruising the world wide web I stumbled upon the video below by Roche Bobois and I came upon the realization for the need to break out of a safer mold and present these vibrant colors that sock a punch. This video is a revelation of what they are thinking, which is a perfect explanation to me.

What do YOU think? Are you loving all the colors?
