Why I Attend High Point Market: A Designer’s Perspective on Inspiration and Connections
You may not realize it, but there’s a town in North Carolina that shapes the home decor trends seen in millions of homes across the country each year. That town is High Point, NC—and its famous High Point Market is where design innovation comes to life every spring and fall.
As an interior designer, I make it a priority to attend High Point Market to explore the latest trends, furniture designs, and home decor innovations. But for me, it’s about much more than just admiring new collections. It’s about fueling my creativity, expanding my knowledge, and gathering inspiration that helps us at Clarity Home Interiors craft the best possible designs for our clients.
In the fast-changing world of home design, staying current with industry trends and updates is essential. High Point Market offers a unique opportunity to get hands-on experience with new products and to learn about the latest movements in the interior design world. It’s an invaluable resource for staying on top of the ever-evolving landscape of home fashions.
But the most important reason I attend? The people. Over half of the pieces featured in Clarity Home Interiors’ designs come from manufacturers who showcase their products at High Point Market. Building strong relationships with these manufacturers is crucial to delivering exceptional quality and bespoke solutions to our clients. The connections I make at the market allow me to stay confident in both the quality of the pieces we select and the customizations we design.
One of the highlights of High Point Market is seeing the passion that manufacturers and designers put into their work. I’m always inspired by the enthusiasm of the brands I work with—companies that are truly dedicated to their craft. Some of my favorite brands to visit include Verellen, Baker, Bernhardt, Highland House, Chaddock, Lancaster, Vanguard, and Made Goods. Visiting their showrooms not only reassures me that our clients are getting the very best, but it also strengthens the partnerships that allow us to create tailored designs that reflect our clients’ unique styles.
Another highlight of attending? I get to see my dad! I grew up in the furniture industry so getting to spend time with him, particularly at High Point Market, is always so special!
High Point Market is more than just a showcase of furniture and decor—it’s a deep dive into the full spectrum of home design. The event gives me the opportunity to explore new ideas, meet industry experts, and come away with valuable insights that inform the work we do at Clarity Home Interiors.
