Unique designs at HPMKT Fall Edition 2015

Canvassing the showrooms at High Point Market twice a year, Wanda Suitt-Horton is among the multitude of designers in search of unique sources. “Finding an exclusive resource, not only with great design, but also with customer service and support, is the holy grail,” says the owner of Wanda S. Horton Interiors.

Because not only are uncommon furnishings aesthetically appealing, they’re also a business strategy. “Given the amount of product that can be found online, unique items are one way a designer brings value to the table,” says Jeanne K. Chung, interior designer and editor of Cozy Stylish Chic. “One-of-a-kind pieces and customizable options are the wave of the future.”

To our delight, Chung, Horton and four other design cognoscenti from across North America agreed to divulge where they prospect for these elusive gems, along with some of Home&Decoration’s picks.
