April 2 opens High Point Design Week and we are rarin’ to take our Atlanta interior designers across state lines and into furniture country! Twice a year we have the opportunity to experience the guest panel of speakers and wonderful showcases of new products and services that are available to our clientele. It’s truly the Super Bowl of commercial and residential interior designers.

Most people think the show draws Atlanta’s interior designers to attend as a continuing education, and that’s partially true—there’s always something new to learn or fabulous to see. But Locklear Interiors is often a year or two ahead of schedule by the time the design community at large unveils its newest design trends so we attend for other reasons.

We love to broaden our supplier base and strike relationships with the manufacturers whose products we use. Our custom designs require strong communications with our manufacturers to ensure the quality and detail you’ve come to expect from Locklear Interiors.

We also use it as an opportunity to execute shopping lists for our Atlanta based interior design clients. In light of modern technology, we can text or email a photo of a piece we are considering for instant buyer feedback. How’s that for personalized shopping!

We also love to work with our clients internationally, and there’s nothing quite like the feeling of meeting with designers and product representatives from 106 countries at the mart! It’s truly a catalog of the world’s most innovative designs, furnishings, and treatments assembled in one place.

Design Week offers a showcase of everything you can imagine that’s related to designing interiors, from exotic fabrics and ergonomic furniture to resources for Eco Living. Going green no longer causes your face to go green with disgust from horrendous lighting, gaudily lined curtain panels, and stiff fabrics. Now eco-living experts have paired natural materials, energy-saving lighting, and insulating window treatments with elegant design so you can adapt those elements to your home without sacrificing the design of your space.

What’s important to you in design? Looks, comfort, going green? Call us at 770-992-0318.
