    Furniture trade shows schedule shuffle to accommodate new Regulations for 2021

    The International Market Centers and the High Point Market Authorityhave decided to change the Trade shows planned for the first half of the 2021 base on the restrictions for traveling in the western United States, recommended by Governor Sisloak’s in Nevada due to the closure and stay-home new orders.


    The originally planned Las Vegas Winter Market show for January 24-28 will be pushed for April 11-15 of 2021 and at the same time, pushing the Las Vegas Summer Market planned for July 25-29 now to August 22-26 but leaving the option to buyers to come any time to Las Vegas Buildings with appointment only at any time.

  2. Home décor is finally getting the respect it deserves

    Home décor is finally getting the respect it deserves

    Throughout my career in the home furnishings industry, home décor has been the category that gets no respect.


    It has been described with derisive names such as “dust collectors” and “costume jewelry,” and is little more than an afterthought in the product mixes developed by a fair number of retailers and manufacturers. (Many who do recognize its importance have labeled the category “decorative accessories,” which sounds a little more sophisticated.)


    But the pandemic, which has forced most of us to spend a lot more time at home, has erased all doubts about the significance of home décor and the important role the category should play for retailers and interior designers. Simply put, items ranging from bookends to vases have been flying off store shelves and warehouse racks in record numbers as consumers and designers redecorate.


    “Adding a few pieces of décor is an easy way to give a room a whole new look without spending a lot of money,”

  4. No space for a home office? A cloffice may be the answer

    No space for a home office? A cloffice may be the answer

    Although we try very hard to keep up with all the lifestyle trends affecting the home furnishings industry, I must confess I had never heard of a cloffice until last week.


    Of course, my spellchecker flagged this newest addition to my vocabulary, but according to Pinterest Predicts, the social media site’s annual “trends” survey, a cloffice is the new home office and will be one of the most sought-after room designs in 2021. Interior designers, take note.


    As you might have guessed, a cloffice is a small space in the home that is being converted to an office. The space might be an actual closet, but according to Pinterest, it’s more likely to be a spot tucked away in the corner of an existing room. There’s usually no office “door,” but the occupant often creates personal space by using a bookcase or some other type of room divider.


    “Say goodbye to open floor plans,” Pinterest notes in its trend report. “Pinners are getting creative wi
