I am so excited to share that Barbee St. Design Co. will be at the upcoming Spring High Point Market. The High Point Market can best be described as fashion week for home furnishings.

is the largest furnishings industry trade show in the world. Serious retail home furnishings buyers, interior designers, architects, and others in the home furnishings industry can be found in High Point, NC twice a year, in the Spring and Fall.

For me this is super special because I was born and raised in High Point, NC and grew up always knowing that High Point was the “Furniture Capital of the World”. Barbee St. Design Co. is named after the street I grew up on in High Point, NC.

This is a full circle moment and I’m so grateful that I can be there not only representing Barbee St. Design Co. but also my hometown.

The Consultation Process: I require that each client book a consultation first because the process allows us to have a clear understanding of the vision and design needs. I will ask for pictures of your space, furniture items that you would like to incorporate, as well as go into detail about color, style, lifestyle, etc. Through this process, I am able to create a cohesive mood board for you so that you are able to visualize each recommended element in your space.

For instance, this week’s mood board showcases one of my clients who purchased this beautiful green sectional and her goal was to build around it. Knowing that she wanted to incorporate gold tones, I created a color palette that was green, black, white, and gold. When designing this space we wanted it to feel sexy and sophisticated but still have an earthy element. From the images, you can see how the sofa and dresser/media console were the show stoppers. So it was important to add other items that were complimentary. Like this beautiful chandelier from Mitzi, it accentuates the other items in this living spaces by highlighting the black and gold. The use of a cowhide rug grounds the space and gives that earthy element that pairs well with the green sofa. Additionally, the client was interested in art from Black artists. Still using the color scheme I added two pieces from Spencer Charles and a sculpture from Murjoni Merriweather.

What aspects of this mood board connect most with you when you see it?

Design projects often take a life of their own, and the most difficult part is visualizing it in your space. Which is why I create mood boards for my clients. The great thing about creating a mood board is it allows you to manipulate objects before you commit. With a mood board, you gain an idea of how the space would blend together especially when you are able to pair the fabrics used in the space with a rug swatch (Tuesday Tip: Use Swatches)

You may remember the inspiration post for this space from Jan 23rd. After revising a few items on the mood board, I decided to go with the hieroglyph rug to compliment the accent chairs and sofa without weighing down the room. Also changing the throw blanket from black faux fur gave the room a more year round vibe, although the fur will be great to pull out when it’s cold. I also changed the throw pillows to create a different mood- more earthy, calm. On the back wall, I added African masks purchased in Ghana in 2010. I am a huge advocate of incorporating pieces that are unique to your story.

We often want our space to come together quickly but honestly it takes time, especially in a pandemic when furniture is often delayed. The space is still coming together, and I will definitely share progress updates. Like I always tell my clients delayed is not denied, enjoy the process!

This weeks Tuesday Tip is about swatches! When you are shopping for furniture always ask for fabric swatches, most stores have them! They are usually free and you can get them in various materials and colors. By taking home swatches it allows you to see how different materials and/or colors will work in your space. For example swipe to see swatches of the items on the mood board.

It is the first Tuesday in February and we are back for a new Design Tip! One of my favorite inexpensive ways to bring life into a space is to give it a fresh coat of paint or wallpaper, maybe both if you’re feeling fancy! Choosing a color is the fun part, enjoy the process. Remember decorating your home is about having fun!
