High Point & Lexington Home Brands


We recently attended the Spring High Point Market in North Carolina.  We had the great pleasure of being sponsored by the furniture company Lexington Home Brands.  The wonderful staff gave us an extensive private tour of their elaborate furniture showroom and High Point Campus showcasing their collections and latest products.
The brand new, orange lacquered Hermes style "Aria" chest was a huge favorite.  Here we are on the Lexington Home Brand Campus.
From exotic prints and wood finishes to sleek surfaces and metallic details. Our special tour of the furniture manufacturer's showroom was a treat for the eyes.  It is not often that one gets to meet the furniture designers and hear how they have come up with a collection first hand.
Attention to detail and hardware was beyond exception on everything in the collections of furnishings.  The textiles and finishes are lovely and high quality.

We were inspired to see unique pieces and items that define personality. Items like these can easily make a project sing!
The variety of pieces was limitless.  The various collections spanned over many tasteful styles. From traditional to glamor they it covered.  For us that is important on when working on tight deadlines.  Sourcing has to be thorough and they have certainly have the chops to back it up. Lexington Home Brands has been producing furnishings since 1903.
We had such a fun time touring the headquarter's and spending the day with Habitually Chic's very own Heather Clawson and Style Beat/ Editor at Large's Marisa Marcantonio. (Jaime & Heather in photo.)
They even have their own gourmet restaurant on the premises.
All in all there were beautiful furnishings around every corner.  Here's Ron entering yet another showroom collection on the campus.
High Point always brings together the country's top design talent.  So happy to see our very own Ashlina Kaposta (The Decorista). Here were are celebrating at the Four Hands party.
