We are back from High Point Market and it was a whirlwind but a much needed design refresh! While it was vastly different from past markets, it felt good to be back!
We wanted to share our market round-up of what we saw that excited us most.
A great design is always grounded by a high quality rug and our friends at Nashville Rug Gallery did not disappoint! Elizabeth thought the new Oushak Kilims were perfect for soft yet colorful palettes.
Last week we joined together in the Studio with some of our invaluable vendor representatives for a “Gratitude Gathering.” These are the people that represent some of our favorite brands across the industry.
It was wonderful to sit down and share meaningful conversation with this team of people over great food. We didn’t quite know what to expect when we planned the evening, but we knew that bringing together this group could only create positive energy.
The Southern Studio team took turns drawing the reps’ names out of a jar and sharing the qualities we value about each person. We shared memories of times they came to our rescue and went the extra mile to help us “make it happen” when things didn’t go according to plan on a project. It sparked terrific conversation about the industry of interiors and everyone walked away with a new perspective for why they do what they do.
These reps have worked incredibly hard behind the scenes to make our projects come together flawlessly on install day. It takes a village, and we’re so grateful that this group of people is on our team!
It’s time to reveal Part I of our Charlotte Charm project! Take a look as we unveil more spaces in this warm, cheerful home we designed with New Old Custom Homes. Collaboration with talented architects, builders, trades, and clients is what makes our job rewarding!
This mudroom is the perfect landing pad as you walk in the door. Custom cabinetry design by the talented New Old boasts lots of storage space to minimize clutter, and charcoal tile flooring will hide dirt that may get tracked inside.
This office space is formal without feeling too stiff. Large windows let in lots of light, and the standout driftwood chandelier is a main focal point.
Another bathroom, another statement wallpaper! This feather pattern is a charismatic addition to this guest bathroom.
A clean, modern master bedroom is an excellent place to rest and recharge. Sometimes less really is more!
Last but certainly not least – the master bathroom! Luxurious brushed gold hardware, plumbing, mirrors, and sconce are a glamorous accent to the white shiplap walls.
And that perfect freestanding tub to soak away the stress of a long day.
Although this home is simple and fresh, it’s character still shines through in all the details. This is what we do best – creating a haven for special families.
It’s that time of year again…spring furniture market in High Point! The excitement is contagious and the eye candy doesn’t stop! Check out some of our favorite finds!

There’s always so much furniture to see at market, but sometimes it’s the accessories that add the personality and finishing touches to a space. The displays are so creative and let the imagination run wild!
Global Views did an outstanding job with beautiful color….
…and beautiful neutrals.

When searching for the perfect accessories, I’m always reminded of one of my favorite quotes by Charles Eames…
The details are not the details. They make the design.
