Earlier this month I had my very first chance to experience High Point Market, a biannual market in High Point, NC every spring and fall. It’s an incredible confluence of the home design industry in a town that revolves around furniture design and manufacturing (and this very market twice a year). I was lucky enough to be chosen as one of the Design Bloggers Tour members, which included an amazing group of bloggers from around the country. We had a jam-packed two days of showroom visits from the Tour’s sponsors, representing some of the biggest and best in American home design. I took hundreds of photos over the two days, and wanted to begin my coverage of market with a recap of the amazing showrooms we toured. Get to know some of the top names in home design and see my favorite details and vignettes from each showroom below.
