Inspiration can stem from various sources, permeating every aspect of our lives. At Furniture Source International, we draw inspiration from the vibrant world around us, embracing a plethora of colors, textures, and aesthetic designs. This continuous immersion in inspiration fuels our unique and dynamic approach to curating and creating pieces for our store.

Deliberate Sourcing for Inspiration

Our attendance at the High Point Market, a prominent furniture market, plays a pivotal role in shaping our design philosophy and product offerings. This market serves as a hub where we gather valuable insights about our business and derive inspiration for future collections. Interacting with buyers enables us to understand their preferences and provide guidance for developing new pieces. For instance, a console designed for a retailer may inspire us to craft similar or complementary pieces, such as a four-door unit or a six-door buffet. Moreover, the process of setting up our showroom at the market sparks further inspiration as we experiment with arranging our pieces within a room. We often employ contrasting colors to create focal points or mix and match nightstands, varying their sizes, shapes, or finishes while maintaining symmetry with matching lamps or an oversized rug.

Accidental Inspiration

Beyond our deliberate efforts at market, we also draw inspiration from the everyday experiences of life. Whether strolling through malls, running errands, perusing magazines, or watching movies, we find inspiration for our next creations in the mundane. A unique door handle spotted during a walk might inspire us to incorporate its scale into drawer designs or cabinet hardware. Similarly, the hues of a wooden stain encountered outdoors could inspire the color palette for a table or chair. Even when examining existing furniture, we imbue it with our distinctive touch, infusing it with a transitional, approachable, and original flair.

Our Spin on Trends

As trends emerge in the design sphere, we immerse ourselves in their aesthetics and characteristics, incorporating them into our own creations. Whether it’s adopting a new finish for a wood armoire reminiscent of mid-century design or tweaking the lines of a table to evoke a farmhouse theme, we infuse these trends into our pieces while preserving their core design elements. Our commitment to maintaining scale, wood quality, and meticulous detailing remains unwavering. We integrate design features subtly, ensuring that our furniture retains its heirloom quality and versatility across generations and room settings. By infusing timeless pieces with subtle nods to current trends, we empower customers to experiment with design elements without overhauling their entire space. This approach allows our customers to blend aesthetics, trends, and textures, creating rooms as unique as the pieces we offer.
