• 0:01
  Hi, and welcome to the Seated podcast with Furniture Row.
• 0:04
  I'm Jessa, creative director and design extraordinaire.
• 0:08
  And I'm Barb, interior designer and buyer.
• 0:12
  Welcome to High Point. Welcome to High Point, everyone.
• 0:17
  I'm North Carolina. Yeah, this is the Seated podcast
• 0:21
  on the road. It's a little bit of a different
• 0:24
  set, but it kind of I love. The set it's, so it's the.
• 0:29
  Vibe We're in High Point, NC because we are at the furniture
• 0:35
  market here. Every two times a year our
• 0:39
  buyers go and buy the best quality furniture at the best
• 0:44
  price, and it's a city full of furniture and it's just all
• 0:50
  these different vendors coming together.
• 0:52
  It's a collage of the best trends around the world at the
• 0:57
  time. Whether it's everything.
• 0:59
  Springer yeah. So we are so inspired and
• 1:02
  refreshed and like, I just want to go create something, you
• 1:06
  know? I do too.
• 1:07
  I want to, like, redecorate my entire house.
• 1:09
  Every time I come to market, Yeah, I'm like, Oh yeah, I see
• 1:13
  something new and I love it. Yeah, I want a graphic design.
• 1:17
  I want to like mix some patterns and some some types of colors
• 1:24
  and yeah, styles and photography.
• 1:27
  Like I just want to collage things 'cause that's what I'm
• 1:30
  seeing a lot. Yeah, a lot of different
• 1:32
  collaging of furniture. And patterns, yeah.
• 1:36
  I would and styles, Yeah, mixing, you know, old and new,
• 1:40
  mixing modern with traditional. High, low, you know, like casual
• 1:46
  with luxury. I think the most exciting thing
• 1:50
  to me is the fact that it's a collage of all the different
• 1:54
  trends throughout time that we've loved the most together in
• 2:00
  a way that honors all of the different eras.
• 2:03
  I think before we used to just throw away trends.
• 2:06
  Oh, that was so that decade, you know.
• 2:09
  I feel like some of the trends though that we've seen this year
• 2:12
  or this market has a long, has a long shelf life and it's very
• 2:17
  classic and it's not a throwaway trend.
• 2:21
  No, it's not. But it's also highlighting that
• 2:23
  a lot of the trends that we've had in the past that have truly
• 2:26
  been quality shouldn't have been thrown away.
• 2:30
  You know, they're honored. And I think a lot of us have
• 2:33
  antiques or family heirlooms that we haven't known how to
• 2:36
  incorporate because they're just not relevant.
• 2:38
  Bring them out, put them back in your home.
• 2:41
  Honor like, you know your grandma's old vase that you got
• 2:45
  or you know, this beautiful piece of furniture that you
• 2:50
  thrifted and it's just family heirlooms.
• 2:53
  Are I just I like the honouring of things instead of the
• 2:57
  turnover, throw away culture of like, Oh, well, now we're we got
• 3:02
  to move to the next thing and the next thing It's like, let's
• 3:04
  like appreciate. What we already have, yes, but
• 3:08
  also like buying quality furniture because you know, we
• 3:11
  do need chairs, we need sofas. And I mean, we are sitting in
• 3:15
  two very well made chairs. Yes, Made in America, yes.
• 3:20
  Yeah. And so you can still buy new,
• 3:23
  just buy quality. Exactly.
• 3:25
  Yeah. That's the best way to stay
• 3:27
  trend proof, yes, Is to buy quality or to invest in whatever
• 3:34
  is trending in a very quality way, I think.
• 3:38
  You know you can always reupholster later on down the
• 3:41
  road when you get tired of the fabric.
• 3:43
  Yeah, the best chair designs have been around since the 30s
• 3:46
  and 40s, you know, right? And through 60s.
• 3:50
  Which reminds me, yeah. When did market start?
• 3:53
  What was it? 19 O nine?
• 3:54
  The first furniture factory was here in 1889.
• 3:58
  Right. So high point market it's.
• 4:00
  Been around for a while. The furniture market is in High
• 4:04
  Point, NC because they started producing furniture here.
• 4:08
  Yeah, and became the furniture capital in the 1800s.
• 4:12
  It is the furniture capital. And then tradition stock, like a
• 4:16
  lot of furniture is still produced like in this general
• 4:19
  area. But around the area.
• 4:21
  Yeah, but as. Some in Mississippi.
• 4:24
  Yeah, as production has changed over time as far as the
• 4:31
  location, the market has still been here.
• 4:34
  People like coming here to to shop in that established.
• 4:39
  Space, I think it's so big now, like it would be really
• 4:42
  difficult to move furniture market.
• 4:45
  Anywhere, anywhere else, it's just so it's like.
• 4:47
  Paris. I mean, never say never, but.
• 4:49
  Come on, it's like Paris Fashion Week but for furniture.
• 4:53
  So yeah, like you couldn't move Paris.
• 4:56
  Fashion. I love coming here too.
• 4:58
  It's like so cozy, the drive in with the trees and the rolling
• 5:04
  hills. It's just a.
• 5:05
  Very wooden. Like, very relaxing, yeah.
• 5:08
  Yeah. So, but today we're on this set
• 5:12
  specifically because. Let's tell them.
• 5:17
  We're at best furniture in their showroom.
• 5:21
  It's pretty great here. Yeah, they just make the most
• 5:23
  quality furniture. And this line we got so excited
• 5:29
  about today. I think you walked into this
• 5:32
  showroom and what did you say? Oh, everything was wow.
• 5:37
  It was so beautiful. You were like be still.
• 5:42
  My beating. Because you were just so excited
• 5:44
  I. Still like that right now I'm in
• 5:47
  a lot like I love this little chair that I'm sitting in.
• 5:49
  I mean look, does that not this little patch like match leather
• 5:55
  chair? And this particular set or
• 5:59
  collection that we're sitting in right now is by Aaron and Benko.
• 6:05
  They are the stars of hometown from H Sweetest.
• 6:10
  They are the sweetest people. They're from Laurel, Ms., and
• 6:14
  they have a great mission of just really revitalizing small
• 6:20
  towns and making them home for people and bringing home to
• 6:24
  where the place that feels like home to them.
• 6:28
  So you don't have to live in a big city to feel like you have
• 6:31
  community. And they're just, yeah, they're
• 6:32
  really bringing back their hometown and really inspiring
• 6:36
  other people to do the same. But their style is truly what I
• 6:42
  was talking about, honoring all the different heirlooms and
• 6:47
  family heirlooms and decades. There are all these little
• 6:49
  antiquey pieces throughout the space.
• 6:53
  Doing that, I mean, I've seen the show and I was always taking
• 6:57
  inspiration from the artwork that they put in houses and the
• 7:02
  wallpaper. And I'm like an artist, isn't
• 7:04
  she? She is an artist, yeah, And she
• 7:07
  has designed some of the patterns that are on the chairs
• 7:11
  throughout this showroom, on the fabrics, and I think they have a
• 7:14
  line of wallpaper as well. Yeah, with York Wallpaper
• 7:18
  Company. Yeah, they and and rugs as well
• 7:23
  and so yeah, I just. They're very big on Made in
• 7:26
  America. Very big on made.
• 7:28
  And they always have been. It wasn't.
• 7:29
  It's not just a trendy thing. Again, it goes back to investing
• 7:32
  in the community in. And so, yeah, they've just, I
• 7:38
  really appreciate how much they've brought creativity into
• 7:42
  every part of their business, though in their own little
• 7:48
  unique way. I love all of the details.
• 7:51
  That's the thing that really you just start looking at it and
• 7:54
  you're like, Oh my goodness, this little detail, that little
• 7:56
  detail, the legs, they had some motion sofas.
• 8:00
  You would have no idea that. These things mentioned.
• 8:03
  And she put like design the little buttons in here to the
• 8:08
  power button, but it just looks like a little, I don't know,
• 8:11
  like whether jewelry or something.
• 8:14
  It was so nice and super comfortable.
• 8:17
  I mean, and the great thing is is they did pair up with Best
• 8:21
  and Best makes a quality accent chair.
• 8:25
  They make quality sofa. And yeah.
• 8:28
  You know, there's some celebrity collaborations that I've seen,
• 8:32
  whether it's in the beauty industry or what have you, that
• 8:35
  it's all about the branding and the name, but it's not about the
• 8:39
  quality. And this is really about the
• 8:42
  quality. So I'm just, I really hope that
• 8:45
  we partner with them, to be honest, at Furniture Row and
• 8:49
  we'll see, but. See what happens.
• 8:51
  I'm crossing my fingers because I I just think.
• 8:55
  I just kind of want to hang out with them, you know, and have
• 8:58
  dinner. They were so nice, kind.
• 9:00
  Of want to be friends. Yeah, I think we could be
• 9:02
  friends, definitely. Well, that too, but I also just
• 9:06
  think people would love their furniture.
• 9:09
  This line is like just so like nothing I've ever seen in our
• 9:14
  stores. And it's all about the little
• 9:16
  details, like even in their store, there's showroom here.
• 9:22
  Have you tried? Their cookies, Yeah, they have
• 9:24
  these little cookies on these beautiful little plates that
• 9:27
  they have, and they're really delicious.
• 9:30
  And it's just, it's just. Like every little detail, yeah.
• 9:34
  That made us feel at home so. Well, you just felt, I felt
• 9:39
  super comfortable. I felt like I was just walking
• 9:42
  into my friend's home, you know? What I mean, yeah, yeah.
• 9:45
  Well, that's what made me want to sit here and have this be the
• 9:49
  place that we podcast at market because I think it.
• 9:52
  And we did. We looked high and low.
• 9:54
  We were like, where are we going to podcast?
• 9:56
  And we looked at all kinds of places that were great, but then
• 10:00
  we walked in here and we're like, this is it?
• 10:02
  Yeah, cuz it just it matches us yeah and our vibe and yeah so
• 10:08
  and it was just a great representation of our favorite
• 10:11
  thing about market this year so. That was a good point.
• 10:15
  What do you feel like fall trends have been though at this
• 10:20
  market? At this market, well, I have
• 10:22
  seen this color a lot. And gold, like a really almost
• 10:29
  ochre, yeah, kind of gold color. And corn, yes.
• 10:34
  Maple, spice, brown, sugar rich colors, yeah.
• 10:40
  And green. We saw a lot of green this
• 10:42
  morning. Green Green is great because it
• 10:45
  brings us a little bit into nature.
• 10:48
  It's really functioning as a neutral in a lot of places.
• 10:52
  Nature colors with a little oomph in the color.
• 10:56
  Yeah, that's a. That's a good way to to explain
• 10:57
  it. Nature with the yeah, yeah,
• 11:00
  yeah. Love it.
• 11:03
  Yeah. So it's been functional pieces
• 11:06
  and multi functional pieces that do, you know, serve different,
• 11:10
  can serve all different places. So for example, we saw a server
• 11:15
  for a dining room, but it could also be an entrance console or a
• 11:19
  sofa table. And then I chameleon furniture.
• 11:23
  Yeah, I guess that's maybe what we should call.
• 11:25
  It and the other thing that I like too is furniture that could
• 11:28
  serve as something that you would otherwise have to do like
• 11:32
  a big construction project for in your house so like an island
• 11:37
  that's on caster wheels you know that has drawers and like a
• 11:42
  countertop that you can buy and put in the middle of the kitchen
• 11:45
  we. Saw a great one.
• 11:47
  Yeah. And then, you know, you don't
• 11:50
  have to build a whole island and pay a contractor to do that
• 11:54
  right now because. Well the cost of materials are
• 11:57
  so expensive right now so just buy a good quality piece of
• 12:01
  piece of. Furniture in your kitchen and
• 12:02
  that mantle. We saw the place mantle that was
• 12:05
  really nice of furniture. Instead of installing a mantle
• 12:08
  that was. Awesome.
• 12:10
  Well, and it had the firebox and everything.
• 12:11
  So if you want to, if you want a fireplace, just buy this piece,
• 12:16
  but. Everything throws heat, you
• 12:18
  know, even though it's not like a real, like you don't throw
• 12:21
  wood in there. It's like not a real fireplace,
• 12:24
  but it throws heat. I think you're saying like get
• 12:26
  to 1000 square feet. Anyway, getting into the
• 12:29
  technical, It's yeah, just what you're going to save so much
• 12:34
  money I feel like by buying some of these pieces that are
• 12:39
  multifunctional. There were.
• 12:40
  And then if you didn't like, back to the fireplace, if you're
• 12:43
  like, oh, I'm going to put it in my living room and you haven't
• 12:45
  there for a while. Yeah, some people have spaces
• 12:48
  like a little breakfast nook off of their kitchen or in their
• 12:52
  kitchen. You could put it even in there
• 12:54
  and create another ambience. And all you do is just wheel it
• 12:57
  in there. Maybe your life changes and
• 12:59
  where you hang out in your house kind of changes over time.
• 13:02
  Put it in your bedroom. Yeah, you want to change where
• 13:04
  your fireplace is and this is an easy way to do that.
• 13:07
  Yeah. But yeah, like we also like
• 13:11
  sectionals with swivels at the end.
• 13:14
  That was really cool, especially when you have an open floor.
• 13:17
  Yeah, you could put that, you know, floating out in the
• 13:21
  middle. And if your kitchen's over there
• 13:22
  at different rooms here, you just swivel and turn around.
• 13:25
  But it doesn't come apart. It just you just turn.
• 13:28
  Yeah, and it's like it's hard to.
• 13:30
  Explain. Yeah.
• 13:31
  And so we didn't show a little video of it, but it, it's, it's
• 13:36
  a great way to be comfortable yet entertained because you're
• 13:39
  not like, hey, welcome to my house.
• 13:41
  Let's just sink into the sofa. It's like, hey, welcome to my
• 13:46
  house. Like, and it's like, welcome to
• 13:50
  my house. And like, you get to just like,
• 13:52
  you know, swivel and talk to different people, but while
• 13:55
  you're sitting down, I don't know.
• 13:56
  It was so elegant and smart. I feel like this market and
• 14:00
  maybe even the last market too, our vendors really are focusing
• 14:05
  on being at home and entertaining.
• 14:08
  Yeah. And having people over.
• 14:10
  Yeah, it could be more of your family or it could be friends,
• 14:13
  whatever, but really just falling in love with your home
• 14:17
  again. You just.
• 14:18
  Love that? Like making your home a place
• 14:20
  that you wanna be and your friends wanna be.
• 14:24
  Because like, I mean, if you think of the places that you go
• 14:28
  out to with your friends, like I'm sure some of them are great
• 14:30
  and there's definitely a reason to like get food out sometimes.
• 14:33
  But but I mean, a lot of the ambience that people are most
• 14:37
  drawn to are homey. Space feel like home, yeah.
• 14:41
  And so it's like. Even, like little coffee bars
• 14:44
  they put, you know, small little leather settees and chairs and
• 14:48
  little tables. You could recreate that at your
• 14:50
  own home, of course. Yeah, yeah.
• 14:52
  Still, go to the coffee shop if you want.
• 14:54
  Exactly. But but to where?
• 14:56
  When you walk downstairs, you feel like you love your life and
• 14:59
  you love where you live. And so we're upstairs for that
• 15:03
  matter. But yeah, it's just that our
• 15:06
  vendors have really thought about everything and just so a
• 15:10
  lot of storage pieces that. That was really cool seeing the
• 15:15
  storage pieces, like the tables that had storage underneath the
• 15:20
  actual dining table to put your plates and cups.
• 15:23
  So if you don't have a big space, you know, you just get
• 15:26
  this really great table, a really interesting looking
• 15:30
  table. You may not have room for a
• 15:32
  sideboard or any other piece in the room other than a table and
• 15:35
  chairs. Well, there's your storage.
• 15:36
  Well, they're great for small space, but they're also great,
• 15:40
  like if you have a lot of things that make your life your life,
• 15:45
  but you like a clean aesthetic that's less cluttered.
• 15:49
  You can put your shoes in it. Exactly.
• 15:51
  If you don't have room, just stick your shoes.
• 15:53
  If you have a place where things go and are stored away and you
• 15:58
  know that's where they go, then it's easy for things not to get
• 16:02
  cluttered because you just put things back in that place kind
• 16:04
  of thing. And we talked to a few designers
• 16:06
  that. Yeah.
• 16:07
  That was their theory. Is her name Lee?
• 16:09
  Here's her salt. Yeah, Yeah, she was so.
• 16:12
  Annoying. It's just about like letting the
• 16:14
  design shine and it being clean and organized so that and, she
• 16:20
  said. She had stuff, but the way they
• 16:22
  organized it at home, it just her home came.
• 16:26
  Yes, very nice. Yeah, Glass is really being
• 16:33
  integrated throughout a lot of different types of furniture.
• 16:38
  So whether it's a bookcase that has glass doors on it or you
• 16:43
  know, like a big cabinet with glass doors or glass end tables,
• 16:48
  glass. Top a little extra something to
• 16:51
  the. Shine and texture.
• 16:53
  Sparkle. It adds to the like mixing and
• 16:56
  matching of textures so that not everything is wood.
• 17:02
  And I'm seeing like a lot of like maybe it's.
• 17:04
  Supposed to represent water. Maybe so.
• 17:06
  Maybe. But even the what?
• 17:08
  What are the mirrors that you liked?
• 17:10
  What is that called again? The Mercury glass looking
• 17:14
  mirrors or the antiqued mirror that was really pretty.
• 17:18
  We saw that a lot. Yeah.
• 17:19
  And then do you remember seeing that one mirror?
• 17:22
  It's it literally is a mirror that goes on the wall, but
• 17:26
  there's a sconce attached. So if you're like, I'm not going
• 17:30
  to install sconces on my wall and you just plug it in.
• 17:34
  It was stunning. I'm like what a great.
• 17:36
  Idea to install a sconce. You can just hang this mirror
• 17:38
  with this sconce attached. And if you don't have space, so
• 17:42
  say you have a small bedroom, OK, you could get two of these
• 17:46
  mirrors and put them on either side of the bed where your night
• 17:49
  stands are. Or even if you don't have room
• 17:51
  for the night stand, just put like a little side table,
• 17:54
  something to put your water on and maybe or jewelry and then
• 17:57
  these, you know, mirrors with the wall sconce and you have
• 18:01
  just a major design moment. Oh my gosh, yeah.
• 18:03
  And it's not like Major, you know.
• 18:06
  Expense. Yeah, call an electrician.
• 18:09
  Yeah, yeah. We love an electrician.
• 18:12
  Yeah, I just don't know any and it they sound expensive and we
• 18:15
  are sure there are. Definitely things to use an.
• 18:18
  Electrician I for sure, but but if you don't have to right, it's
• 18:23
  gonna save you money like if you.
• 18:24
  Can just plug it in. Yeah, we're not suggesting
• 18:26
  wiring a house. Or do not.
• 18:28
  Wire a house? No, don't wire things.
• 18:30
  Call an electrician that. Gap unless you are an
• 18:32
  electrician, right? Sure, but I mean, they go to
• 18:34
  school for a long time, so anyway, yeah.
• 18:37
  I just like to plug things. Out no electrocuting yourself.
• 18:41
  Right. Yeah, right.
• 18:44
  Exactly. We talked about this a lot, but
• 18:47
  yeah, it's definitely a good through line, yeah, for people
• 18:50
  to remember. Yeah, I like that.
• 18:53
  It's simple. It takes the mystery out of I
• 18:56
  want to do this, but I don't want to have to have contractors
• 19:00
  in my house right now or I can't afford to like do a major
• 19:04
  makeover. So we found a lot of pieces that
• 19:07
  solve that. Yeah, that.
• 19:10
  Problem that issue. That issue I also I really liked
• 19:15
  the art that we were seeing. We saw great.
• 19:18
  Art, lots of nature and landscapes and still lifes and.
• 19:23
  And then brights. You saw a lot of bright things
• 19:25
  too. Yes, lots of color.

  Last year in our episode about market, we were or I guess
• 19:32
  earlier this year in Season 1, we were talking about how 2025
• 19:37
  trends were like colors back and personality is back.
• 19:41
  But that definitely continues to be true.
• 19:44
  And, and not just like any personality.
• 19:47
  It's like your personality, you know, I think.
• 19:51
  Your home should really be an expression of you and your
• 19:55
  personality. Yeah, so that is definitely
• 19:57
  travelling into 2026. Be yourself.
• 20:02
  Be yourself. Be yourself.
• 20:04
  Be yourself. This is.
• 20:09
  A song? Did you just make this up or is
• 20:11
  an actual song? It's a song from a movie that I
• 20:15
  won't name it, OK, Just you know, if you know, you know if.
• 20:18
  You know, you know. Well, you can tell me.
• 20:20
  Later, yeah. It's a good movie.
• 20:24
  It's never a dull moment with Jessup.
• 20:26
  Well, you know, sometimes we just get inspired to sing.
• 20:29
  Yeah, that's great. Which means that you're
• 20:32
  comfortable and you're happy. Yeah.
• 20:34
  And that's what this space is making me feel.
• 20:38
  Yeah. So how would you suggest
• 20:43
  layering fabrics and unique textures?
• 20:46
  Because look at where we're sitting, you know, we just have
• 20:49
  to address some of the textures and patterns that we're seeing
• 20:54
  here. Well, they certainly have mixed
• 20:57
  a lot of patterns and things that I'm telling you, I'm so
• 21:01
  inspired by this. And I, I'm trying to like in my
• 21:06
  mind, trying to figure out how they did what they did because
• 21:10
  some of these patterns I would have never thought to put
• 21:13
  together or color combinations. And I'm just like completely
• 21:17
  blown away with it. I mean, even a designer can be
• 21:22
  stopped in their tracks, you know, like, how did they do?
• 21:24
  That when you see, you know, designers can be inspired by
• 21:28
  other designers. Yeah, absolutely.
• 21:29
  Like, yeah, yes, hopefully so. And.
• 21:32
  Yeah, but it's inspiring. I love it.
• 21:35
  I love all of it. I love the layering like they've
• 21:38
  done here with these rugs. I like this really soft texture
• 21:42
  of the rug your, you know, your feet are on and then this a
• 21:45
  little bit, you know, more natural texture and a little bit
• 21:50
  scratchy but but nice, you know? Similar to the episode about
• 21:54
  rugs that we were talking about and you were talking about how
• 21:57
  to layer rugs, we'll have to cut.
• 22:00
  Like layered everything. More of a specific video of the
• 22:03
  layered rugs here, but they've done it so artfully and it's a
• 22:09
  very good representation of what you talked about in that episode
• 22:12
  with, you know, if you're going to have a pattern, maybe have
• 22:16
  like the loose patterns mixed with the tighter patterns.
• 22:20
  So like there's a tight woven one color, you know, or like one
• 22:25
  color family pattern on the base level and then the top level
• 22:31
  it's a looser weave pattern. Or mixing textures like you're
• 22:35
  saying that helps. And then, you know, if you're
• 22:38
  just trying to start out simple, maybe select three different
• 22:41
  colors and just play off of those colors and large scale
• 22:46
  pattern with maybe a smaller scale or you know, like here
• 22:50
  they've done this sort of reads like a stripe, you know, and
• 22:54
  then this is an overall pattern. So I like mixing things like
• 22:58
  that that as well. Yeah, but then like one of the
• 23:00
  third pillows they have is just. A solid solid, but it's.
• 23:04
  Got a nice like texture that you can.
• 23:07
  It's like a micro texture because it's velvety.
• 23:10
  So it's there, but it's not like a big.
• 23:12
  Texture or like this? I mean, look at.
• 23:15
  These. Yeah, I have one of those two in
• 23:16
  my chair. So even they look.
• 23:18
  Almost like a solid because it's.
• 23:20
  Tone. Yeah, exactly.
• 23:22
  I was about to say that even though it's a pattern, yeah, it
• 23:25
  does read as a solid. So if you look at these.
• 23:28
  They all. And they all go together.
• 23:30
  Yeah, and this goes. And blue and blue and coral or
• 23:34
  blue and orange is such a good combination together.
• 23:37
  What one of my theories is, is they just think that Christmas
• 23:41
  in America. Christmas in America.
• 23:45
  Two color palettes. If you just play with them a
• 23:49
  little, it's the best color combination.
• 23:51
  So like. Explain I I need to?
• 23:53
  Follow the Christmas. Red and green.
• 23:56
  The bright red like Rudolph knows red and like, you know,
• 24:02
  Kelly green or like bright green you should do like let's say
• 24:11
  coral and Moss or. Oh, I see what you're saying.
• 24:15
  Like change the tone. Of yeah, change the tone of the
• 24:18
  color. So like you could do like a
• 24:22
  bright red, but then like, yeah, a Moss green or or like a a
• 24:29
  bright red and a teal. I love red and blue together,
• 24:33
  but like the color of your scarf or this color?
• 24:36
  I love this color. Blue mixed with red.
• 24:39
  Yeah, love. It like a corn flour blue mixed.
• 24:42
  With and we're seeing a lot of that at market corn flour
• 24:45
  everywhere. It's the color of market this
• 24:49
  year, yeah. I wonder if it'll be the color
• 24:50
  of the year next year. I don't know.
• 24:52
  No, we had to guess that. Remember you guys like it's like
• 24:55
  a bluey greeny or yeah. You thought it was going to be
• 24:58
  like a minty green, kind of, and I said terracotta, but I I don't
• 25:02
  know if either of us are going to be right.
• 25:03
  I might have to change my mind. OK, well, you know, I think I
• 25:06
  would. Change my mind.
• 25:07
  Terracotta would actually go well together, yeah.
• 25:09
  After being here. If it was like a muted minty
• 25:12
  maybe. So.
• 25:14
  OK, Anyway, yeah, I digress. But yeah, could I?
• 25:17
  I'm guessing now that it's going to be corn flour, blue or ochre.
• 25:23
  Interesting. Corn flour.
• 25:25
  And really, those two colors would look great together,
• 25:29
  right? Yeah.
• 25:29
  So inspiring. It is very inspiring.
• 25:33
  Yeah, good job, Aaron. And you know what else talking
• 25:37
  about corn flour blue. I love that blue color with like
• 25:41
  a rich, I hate to say the word burgundy, but like a Merlot.
• 25:47
  What would you call it? I.
• 25:48
  Love the word burgundy. Burgundy.
• 25:50
  Burgundy is like a trendy runways right now on fashion
• 25:55
  runways, burgundy is like. Yes, I like those combinations.
• 26:00
  Or like the color of this, like a deep dark purpley, real rich
• 26:05
  purple with ochre. I think that'd be so pretty
• 26:07
  together. I'm so excited about fall.
• 26:11
  I love the color palettes. I love the weather.
• 26:14
  I mean, just everything about fall is, yeah.
• 26:17
  So how I know we talked about like people entertaining and
• 26:21
  making home something that's a reflection of you and being
• 26:25
  yourself. But how should these trends
• 26:28
  apply to people's home, do you think?
• 26:31
  Or like, what are easy ways for people to take these trends
• 26:33
  home? Like if we say, for example,
• 26:35
  brown sugar or ochre. Like what are great places for
• 26:39
  those to show up in your house? In a simple way or explain your
• 26:45
  question a little more so I can. Yeah, like in a simple way, like
• 26:49
  if they just want to start incorporating some of these
• 26:51
  colors. Well, depending what else is in
• 26:56
  the space. I mean, you could paint a wall
• 26:59
  color, you know, paint one wall an accent wall.
• 27:03
  And believe it or not, I think accent walls are coming back.
• 27:06
  Oh, absolutely. Yeah.
• 27:08
  So especially with. Wallpap.
• 27:10
  That's the other thing. Wallpaper is everything, right?
• 27:14
  And then you pull a color from the wallpaper and you.
• 27:20
  That's an easy way to design. A room trim or like wallpaper
• 27:25
  with like a wainscot. Yes, wainscoting, which they
• 27:30
  have here in the showroom. Yeah.
• 27:32
  So if you just pull a color from the wallpaper and paint the trim
• 27:36
  or the wainscoting that color from the wallpaper, that's a
• 27:41
  great way. Like if you had like a wallpaper
• 27:44
  that had ochre in the pattern and then you painted the trend
• 27:51
  that ochre color, that would be a great way to celebrate that
• 27:54
  color in your home. Or maybe there's a painting that
• 27:57
  you really love, like a a still life.
• 27:59
  Yeah. Like a good brand?
• 28:01
  That really are like a like a fall pear or like a quince.
• 28:06
  Apple. Maybe even a throw, a decorative
• 28:09
  throw that you could put in your living room over a sofa arm or
• 28:13
  in your bedroom. Little accent pillows.
• 28:17
  You could paint your front door. That'd be a really easy thing,
• 28:20
  that. Would be really fun.
• 28:22
  Yeah. And limit the amount of times
• 28:24
  you can paint your front door, do you think?
• 28:26
  I don't know. I don't either.
• 28:29
  Yeah, well, I mean I, I keep. Painting mine the same color.
• 28:31
  It's always been the same color. What is it?
• 28:34
  It's a red and I love it. Fun and I've just repainted it
• 28:38
  the same color. I just, I just love.
• 28:40
  It I love an accent door. I do, we do.
• 28:43
  But you know another easy way? An inexpensive way would be
• 28:48
  towels in your bathroom. Yeah, really.
• 28:51
  The shower curtain? Yeah, if you have one, yeah.
• 28:55
  You could do that. Maybe your you know, I love
• 28:58
  fabric napkins to eat dinner with or lunch or whatever.
• 29:03
  I'm always have fabric, yeah, fabric napkins.
• 29:06
  So you could do it that way, you know, incorporate it.
• 29:09
  Maybe little towels in your kitchen.
• 29:11
  But you know, like. Your nuts.
• 29:12
  Yeah, yeah. If you're looking for a new sofa
• 29:16
  color though, like if you're shopping currently or accent
• 29:19
  chair, yeah, some of these colors we've seen on sofas and
• 29:24
  sectionals at large scale. And look so pretty.
• 29:27
  Especially that brown sugar color like orange velvet is
• 29:32
  amazing or acorn is what we're going to describe it.
• 29:36
  We've seen the like the velvet acorn color sofa, so many places
• 29:40
  and it's just it sings so. Well, and the other thing too is
• 29:44
  because they are nature colors. I mean, they truly are.
• 29:48
  I'm sure if we took it, took an acorn and put it next to, it'd
• 29:51
  be like the same color or like your bag color.
• 29:54
  It's like a. Camel it's.
• 29:56
  A lot of people have called it Camel too, but it's but it's.
• 29:59
  To me it's it's richer than that.
• 30:01
  Richer and it's brighter. Than yeah, but I just feel like
• 30:05
  those colors are never going to be out.
• 30:07
  Yeah, well, and that's good to talk about.
• 30:10
  What you put with them that makes it either in or out.
• 30:14
  Yes, it's what you put with them, but also trend proofing,
• 30:18
  you know, like getting your house to a place where you know,
• 30:22
  if you buy a new sofa, you probably don't want it to be
• 30:25
  like this is so out of trend in a few years.
• 30:28
  You know, if in 2000s you had bought a Chevron patterned sofa,
• 30:33
  you'd probably regret it right now.
• 30:35
  Hopefully it's good quality and you just go get it
• 30:38
  reupholstered. I know, but.
• 30:41
  If not, come to Furniture Row and buy a new one.
• 30:43
  Right, but the quality will make your piece trend proof and and I
• 30:50
  think trends that stand the test of time are just really thought
• 30:55
  through and done well. And it's not like a quick
• 30:58
  decision. It's like a what do I love and
• 31:01
  like what is my favorite part of nature?
• 31:03
  What it reminds me of my favorite relative thought
• 31:06
  through decision, you know, and so like just like these stripes
• 31:12
  are just bring me to a coastal homey place, you know, and so I
• 31:17
  don't think stripes. Ever.
• 31:18
  I don't think stripes ever go out like that.
• 31:20
  Looks like a classic. Right.
• 31:24
  Or if we think about, you know, some of of the other trends that
• 31:27
  have been out, you know, like sponge painting that was kind of
• 31:31
  a cheap knock off of lime washing, you know, and so but if
• 31:36
  you have a lime washed wall from like years ago and it's still in
• 31:41
  good shape, it's probably, well, it's probably still now.
• 31:44
  Yeah, Yeah. But that's not a new thing.
• 31:47
  That's a trend that's been around for a while.
• 31:49
  And so, yeah, just like buy quality furniture and nice
• 31:53
  stones. You don't have to, you know,
• 31:55
  break the. Bank clothing, if you buy
• 31:58
  classic pieces and then you want to feel a little bit more
• 32:02
  trendy, just add the accessories that are of the moment or the
• 32:06
  scarf. Ralph Ralph Lauren Vintage.
• 32:10
  Jacket This is an old vintage Ralph Lauren piece.
• 32:14
  You know, it's got the little patches.
• 32:17
  But look at the quality of the patches and the buttons and the
• 32:20
  fags brick, you know, like you can't buy fast fashion that's
• 32:23
  going to last long. Like that would be tattered.
• 32:25
  And I don't know what state it would be and if it were cheap,
• 32:28
  but this is like. It would be.
• 32:30
  It would be a mess. Stuff that you can keep forever.
• 32:34
  Exactly. So yeah, I mean that's how to
• 32:36
  stay trend proof I would say is just make sure that you invest
• 32:41
  with in whatever you're buying and you shop with your heart.
• 32:46
  So yeah, that anyway. We just want you to love your
• 32:51
  home, love where you live. Yeah, yeah, love where you live,
• 32:57
