Heading to High Point Market: A Behind‑the‑Scenes Look from One Interior Design Firm

Written by Laura Schlafer on October 24, 2025
A bustling crowd walks throughout a design market in sunny north carolina, passing a large, colorful display of design advertisements and furniture layouts.

Each year, the design world turns its gaze to High Point, North Carolina where over 11 million square feet of showrooms come alive for the iconic High Point Market. This is one of the largest home furnishings trade shows in the world. For designers, this isn’t just an event, it’s an experience.

At Reflect Interiors, market week is one of our favorite times of the year. It’s where inspiration meets intention. It’s where we connect, explore and come home with ideas that shape the spaces we create for our central Indiana clients.

The Value of High Point Market 

High Point Market brings together the best in furniture, lighting, textiles, and decor. Thousands of exhibitors spread across multiple trade buildings, all unveiling what’s next in design. 

For Reflect Interiors, this trip isn’t just about seeing beautiful new pieces (though there’s plenty of that!).

It’s about strategy, sourcing, relationship-building and trend-spotting. It also gives us the opportunity to return home with fresh perspectives and curated finds that elevate every project we touch.

Goal-Setting: What We’re Looking For

Before the travel plans are made, we focus in and ask: What do we want to achieve at market this year?

Some of our key goals include:

  • Identifying new vendors for upcoming client projects
  • Deepening relationships with our trusted partners
  • Scouting the latest trends to keep our design offerings fresh and forward-thinking
  • Filling in sourcing gaps, from bespoke upholstery to statement lighting

Each goal helps guide our time and ensures that what we discover in High Point directly benefits the clients and projects we serve back in Indianapolis!

Inspired and Energized to Serve our Clients

By the end of market week, we’ll be brimming with ideas, photos, samples and so much energy. The best part? Bringing it all back to our clients and translating what we’ve seen into spaces that feel fresh, personal and deeply reflect the client’s heart for their home.

We can’t wait to share what we discover at High Point and how it will shape the next season of design for Reflect Interiors.
