Why Do I Attend High Point Market Every Year?

Why High Point Market is the Highlight for Interior Designers

1.    Source products for clients

When a client purchases my full service package, that means they get the best of the best. I am sourcing quality products that you can't find at a retail store. This also means custom furnishings and accessories. I sit on the sofas and chairs so I can tell my client if they are comfortable or not. I inspect tables to see exactly how they are made and I pick up the accessories to feel their weight.

2.    Meet with my vendor reps

For each vendor I have an account, there is a representative for my area. I like to meet with them briefly and establish a connection. That way if I need assistance when sourcing products, they are there to help me. They can also educate me on the products, for example, how they are made and where.

3.    Discover new vendors & products

High Point Market is a great opportunity to see what’s new in the showrooms, which is so exciting! It’s also an opportunity to discover new showrooms and find products that align with my design aesthetic and my clients’ needs and wants.

4.    Meet other designers & network

Designers come from all over the country for market. It’s always fun to meet other designers, especially when you follow them on social media and then connect with them face-to-face here. There are also speakers and events, and the showrooms provide food, so that's a bonus!

5.    See the latest trends & get inspired

Sometimes you need a little something to get the creative juices flowing again, and I get so much inspiration at High Point Market. Here’s what I noticed a lot of at market this year: lots of texture, mixed materials, and moody colors. And gold is still going strong!
