The High Point Market attracts nearly 80,000 people from over 100 countries, from<br \/>\nexhibitors and designers to buyers and the media. To wit: if you can&#8217;t find it in High Point, it probably doesn&#8217;t exist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We sat down with Falyn Weinhart, Director of Merchandising at Matter Brothers Furniture and Florida Leather Gallery,<br \/>\nto uncover some of the biggest <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">furniture <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and design trends for 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1400 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/matterbrothersfurniture.blogs.eprevue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/05\/MBF-Blog-5.5-1.jpg\" alt=\"in house design expert\" width=\"700\" height=\"720\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With over 15 years of industry experience, Weinhart brings her passion, refined taste and discerning eye for luxury<br \/>\nback to the showroom floor, providing clientele with inspired selections to create their dream living space.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Q: Why do you attend the High Point<br \/>\n<\/b><b>Furniture<\/b><b> Market?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A: <\/span>We are always on the lookout for home design trends that will inspire our clientele, whether a new fabric, texture<br \/>\nor silhouette. The High Point Market lets us partner with our current vendors on new product launches. It also allows<br \/>\nus to discover the next unique brand that fits our image and quality standards.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1402 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/matterbrothersfurniture.blogs.eprevue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/05\/Photo-Apr-03-5-41-24-PM-e1651593841140.jpg\" alt=\"high point furniture market\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Q: How would you describe this trade show?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A: <\/span>It&#8217;s essentially fashion week for furniture! The vendors reset their showrooms twice a year, two weeks in spring and<br \/>\none week in fall. The Market provides an excellent opportunity for networking, as High Point is the global hub for furniture<br \/>\nretailers.<\/p>\n<h2>Q: What are the latest trends, and which<br \/>\nare your favorites?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A: <\/span>High Point was blooming with natural floral arrangements and new color palettes in every showroom. Here are<br \/>\nsome other big takeaways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As an outdoor enthusiast, I am naturally drawn to woodsy elements on <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">furniture<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that bring both wanderlust<br \/>\ninterest and serenity to any living space. Organic modern style continues to be my personal favorite, and it&#8217;s a<br \/>\ndesign aesthetic with plenty of staying power. Undulating and textured woods veneered on surfaces render each<br \/>\npiece of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">furniture <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">one of a kind because no two trees are alike.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1403 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/matterbrothersfurniture.blogs.eprevue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/05\/Photo-Apr-05-8-22-14-PM-e1651594122133.jpg\" alt=\"wood framed accessories and tables\" width=\"700\" height=\"616\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Abstract <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">mid-century modern<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">art<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is here to stay, too.
