HICKORY’S HERITAGE
A Proud Heritage H
ickory, North Carolina can trace its furniture history back to the earliest part of the 20th century and a young merchant named George W. Hall. Standing in front of his general mercantile business on Hickory’s main street, Hall would watch the long freight trains rumbling through town, bearing load after load of southern lumber headed for furniture factories up north. North Carolina had only a few furniture factories at that time. In 1890 the state had only six furniture plants employing fewer than 200 employees. In 1901, Hall and a group of other Hickory businessmen and bankers decided that some of the region’s lumber should be used to build furniture in Hickory. When these entrepreneurs organized the town’s first furniture factory, Hickory Furniture Company, Hall was only 28 years old. Despite his youth, Hall successfully managed that first plant and within the year he helped to start the town’s second furniture manufacturing business, Martin Furniture Co. The natural trade routes along the rivers in the region provided an artery by which both designers and craftsmen flowed into the Catawba Valley region in the early years of the 20th century. With the craftsmen came the knowledge and skills to train the abundant and willing labor force available in North Carolina’s foothills. There was no unionization in the industry, and workers were plentiful and eager to work. By the 1920s and 1930s, more furniture plants were forming as the industry spread throughout Hickory and the surrounding areas. But the Depression years were especially hard on the industry because furniture was still considered a luxury and many people could barely afford food, much less furniture. Although some companies went under, others managed to stay afloat, due to smart mergers, frugal policies and loyal employees. With the end of World War II, the furniture industry experienced its biggest boom as returning military veterans looked for jobs that would enable them to build homes and buy new furniture for their families. Hickory area companies grew and split off, creating even more new furniture companies. As generation followed generation in the business of crafting furniture, Hickory and the Catawba Valley became the furniture manufacturing capital of the nation. A Second Industry Is Born In 1960, a second industry arose to support the burgeoning furniture industry when a handful of furniture manufacturers gathered for the first time to display their products to retail dealers. This wholesale exhibition was held on the site of what is now known as Hickory Furniture Mart. And so the Mart became the hub of the wholesale furniture exhibition business and would flourish for decades in western North Carolina. In 1985, Hickory Furniture Mart decided to open its doors, previously only open only 8|

ickory, North Carolina has long been known as a cultural heritage center for fine furniture manufacturing. Generations of skilled North Carolinians continue to honor their family legacies by designing and building high quality handcrafted furniture at affordable prices. Many of the world’s most popular furniture manufacturers either started their journey in this region or branched off from other family businesses that began building furniture here.
“Making our upholstery in America continues to be important for us … and for you. We’re helping the economy by keeping jobs here, jobs that generations of families in our local North Carolina community have made a living at with skill and pride. It means investing in American innovation and technology — we’re always looking for ways to do things better, faster, more economically, and in an even more earth-friendly manner. We’ve been involved in every aspect since day one and are on site at the factory so we can insure personally our upholstery has the quality, comfort, and style our brand stands for. In addition, being on the board of the Sustainable Furnishings Council has helped us gain even greater insights into the latest ecofriendly manufacturing business practices, which we then apply to producing products that are healthier for Mother Earth and for us all.” ~ Mitchell Gold, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams 14 |

LIGHTING
Choosing the Appropriate Lighting M
COURTESY OF THE LIGHT PLACE / KICHLER LIGHTING
ost people do not consider the importance of choosing the appropriate lighting for their home and/or business environments. Good lighting makes it possible for everyday tasks to operate smoothly. Poor lighting may cause frustration and even be dangerous in certain situations. Proper lighting enables us to conduct our businesses and live in our homes safely and efficiently. Selecting the right lighting tends to be very confusing for the average consumer. There is a diverse selection of lighting products available in the market today. These products may be purchased from a variety of sources, including big box stores and the internet. How does a person trust that these impersonal purchases will function as needed and appear as promised when they arrive? Better yet, how likely will these products be replaced, repaired or serviced as needed throughout the years? The lighting industry is changing rapidly. The average consumer is already overwhelmed when trying to make the appropriate lighting and fixture selections for their home and/or business. There is a great amount of discussion about energy efficiency these days … for example incandescent light bulbs will soon be required in all lighting products in order to meet the new higher efficiency standards. A big challenge for most consumers is to know which type of light bulbs they will need to use in the future for the fixtures they are purchasing today. This is why specialty lighting showrooms are becoming more of a viable resource where consumers are able to ask specific

questions pertaining to their current and future lighting needs. Lighting specialists will be able to provide the most efficient options currently available and will be able to share any relevant information about energy efficient requirements in the future. A good lighting showroom will offer three primary levels of service to assist their customers: unique and diverse product choices, lighting design expertise, and exemplary customer service. These elements set the best lighting showrooms apart from their strongest competitors. When choosing the appropriate lighting for your home and/ or business you should consider your preference of style, finish and size. Sometimes too many choices prove to be overwhelming so your lighting specialist will help you narrow down your selections and recommend the best option for your needs. If you are remodeling a room or building a new home, you may need assistance with the initial lighting design. Frequently asked questions tend to be “Where do I place my lights for optimal lighting in each room?” “How many light fixtures do I need?” “How high should I hang my chandelier off the top of my dining room table?” “What size fixture do I need for the space I have available?” “Am I able to replace my outdated fixture with a newer one?” Knowledgeable lighting specialists are able to answer all of these questions and will definitely make the project less stressful for you. On occasion something may happen to your light fixture that damages its appearance and/or function. Your lighting specialist will be able to assist you and provide any replacement parts or complete repair work for your damaged pieces. That one of a kind antique lamp that was inherited from a beloved relative may require a new cord or socket someday. Most lighting showrooms keep a wide variety of parts and lamp shades on hand to replace and repair any family treasure. A good lighting showroom will offer quality product at a fair price. Knowledgeable sales personnel are eager to help customers make the best design decisions while considering both energy efficiency and light output. After the initial sale, services are in place to assist customers with replacement parts and resolve any problems that may arise in the future. Make sure to do your research and select a lighting showroom that you trust. Lighting selection may seem complicated, but it can be easy when assisted by a good lighting showroom. In these challenging economic times, price sometimes governs the initial purchase and many people forget to consider the long term costs of the item purchased. Lighting is typically a home or business purchase that will last a long time so you will benefit most by turning to an expert to assist you with all of your lighting needs.

GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP?
How Much Sleep Do You Really Need? he human race has been eager to expand the amount of time available to them for work and play ever since the discovery of fire made us realize light could lengthen and brighten our nights. Soon we became a society that worked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our natural sleep patterns were manipulated to make us falsely believe we were becoming more productive. The alteration to our body’s innate need for sleep did not come without a cost. When we choose to ignore our natural sleep patterns, we see an increase in accidents and physical health complaints and a decrease in mental capacity. If we had knowledge that a chemical released in our environment would cause the same amount of problems as not getting enough sleep does, we would have banned it years ago. The proper amount and timing of sleep for each individual is as unique as the size of our feet. Sleep should not be compared to myths and unrealistic goals that someone else sets for us. People who study sleep often quote that adults need 7-9 hours of sleep, teenagers need 8½-9½ hours and infants need 18 hours per day. One of the biggest misconceptions is that we need less sleep as we grow older. As we age, we still need the same amount of sleep; however due to changes in the quality of our sleep, we may need to remain in bed longer to receive the same amount as we did when we were younger Ask yourself the following questions to determine if you are getting enough sleep: • Do you need an alarm clock to wake up? Do you fall back to sleep immediately after hitting the snooze button? If you do, you’re probably not getting enough sleep. • To estimate the amount of sleep your body needs without using an alarm, try sleeping in on a day you do not need to wake up at a specific time. Log the number of hours you slept (for this example 9 hours). The next time you need to use an alarm to wake up, reference your hours logged (9 hours) and calculate backwards when you would need to go to bed in order to wake up on time. In this example if you need to wake up at 6am, you’ll need to calculate 9 hours back so you would need to be in bed at 9pm. Continue this pattern for 2 weeks, even on the days you do not need to use an alarm. • If your alarm is waking you from a sound sleep and you still fall asleep immediately after hitting the snooze button, then back up your bedtime by 30 minutes (in this case 8:30pm) and continue this pattern for another 2 weeks. • If you are waking prior to your alarm each day and you feel fully rested, you can start decreasing your amount of sleep by 30 minutes each night and continue this pattern 20 |

for another 2 weeks. Once you find the proper amount of sleep that leaves you feeling completely refreshed, with our without an alarm, then you need to strictly maintain this sleep schedule in the future. Any changes will alter your most productive sleep pattern and could potentially cause long term problems. Remember sleep needs are unique to each individual and the amount of sleep you need each night may vary from the rest of your family. Try to accommodate everyone’s schedule so that you all wake up fully refreshed and ready to start the new day with peace and harmony. HFM Reference: Sleep to Live, www.sleeptolive.com

of the past. The home theatre category has grown tremendously over the years. The abundance of online media has taken the need for this category of furniture to new levels. People are not just sitting in their theater seats watching movies anymore. They are also browsing the web for fun facts about their favorite actors to incorporate into their home theatre décor. Football group gatherings continue to be very popular. People enjoy testing a variety of sectional and sofa groupings with motion options so that they are able to envision how this type of seating could work in their own personal space. This concept works well for accommodating large groups of people and promotes the ability to lounge around and be comfortable at home. Mixing colors, shapes and textures has become an important aspect of the contemporary style. Although steel and aluminum are still used in many contemporary designs, woods are becoming a strong key element as well. In keeping with the warm and cozy environment, dark chocolate and espresso hues are being incorporated into many dining, entertainment and accent pieces, while cordial tones of walnut warm up bedroom and accent pieces with pure, flowing lines. Shades of blue have exploded onto the contemporary scene. The industrial/warehouse look is now complimenting many contemporary pieces featuring modern designs infused with reclaimed woods. Classic modern chairs are also being upholstered in acid wash denim for a touch of nostalgia. Many people are mixing microfiber fabric chairs and accent pieces in with their leather groups. Smaller scale pieces are preferred in the newly down sized environments of the baby boomers, with a key focus on functionality. It seems that durability, function and easy maintenance are all strong desires of the current contemporary customer.

choosing accessories that work for them and they are surrounding themselves with furniture that makes them happy but also shows their strong sense of personal style. Items such as art, throws, rugs, ottomans and vintage pieces have become the accents of choice in today’s contemporary market. Eclecticism and contrasting styles remain the major themes within most contemporary designs today. Environments are less “fussy” and more about simplicity and subtlety. Small sofas that have moveable backs convert to beds without the hassle of pulling out a sleeper sofa. If space is not a problem, sleeper sofas have come a long way in comfort and styling.

SOLID WOOD FINE FURNITURE
Solid Wood Fine Furniture
Conversion Varnish Conversion varnish is a coating that provides superior moisture resistance. It is a very high quality finish that will provide your solid wood fine furniture with long lasting life and durability. Most people can best understand its benefits by using the example of a simple glass of water on a table or nightstand. If you leave a glass of water on a surface with a lesser quality finish, you will very quickly see a milky white ring appear underneath the glass from all the moisture that has collected. Many times this cannot be removed and your furniture may become damaged. If conversion varnish is used, you are able to leave that same glass of water on the surface for an entire week and there will be no damaging effects on the wood — no milky rings or damage to the surface. Conversion varnish is the 24 |
HFM
most commonly used finish in the high-end furniture market. When properly applied and cared for, the beauty of your furniture’s finish will be enjoyed for many years to come. Conversion varnish has excellent resistance to food, beverages and most common household chemicals, however there are a few guidelines you should always follow: • Excessive waxing may cause moisture to build up and that milky white ring to appear after a glass is left on a wood surface over a period of time. • Never use any cleaners that contain bleach. • Avoid using cleaners with abrasives that may scratch or damage the finish. • Do not allow cleaners containing ammonia to come in contact with your furniture’s finish. Ammonia may turn oak wood black and painted pieces yellow. • Dyes and inks may discolor your finish as well. The ink and dyes from newsprint and plastic bags may penetrate into the finish. Avoid leaving them on your wood surfaces for long periods of time. Conversion varnish offers a very hard mar resistant surface, but like any furniture finish, it may still be scratched or damaged if not cared for properly. Use these tips to maintain all of your solid wood surfaces and you’ll be able to pass down your furniture selections for future generations to enjoy. HFM Contributed by Amish Oak & Cherry.

General Care and Maintenance When purchasing solid wood fine furniture, proper cleaning and overall maintenance will ensure its beauty and longevity for many years to come. There are many things that will naturally collect upon the surface of most wood finishes over time ~ cooking oils, fumes, fingerprints, moisture, dust and smoking residue just to name a few. Generally a soft damp cloth followed by a dry cloth should be all that is needed to clean the finish properly. If a cleaner is required, use a very mild soap and wipe it dry immediately. A high quality furniture polish may be used on occasion, but do not make it a weekly habit. When applying furniture polish, use a soft clean cloth and follow all care instructions provided by your furniture manufacturer. Avoid the use of silicone polishes as they tend to damage the wood finish when used over a period of time. Your local furniture or hardware store may carry Guardsman Furniture Polish, which is a high-end furniture polish and highly recommended by experts in the furniture industry for fine wood finishes. Make every effort to keep your solid wood fine furniture out of direct sunlight. It is also very important to avoid placement of your wood furniture next to any major heat sources such as radiators, hot air vents or wood burning stoves. These conditions will cause your wood to dry out and subsequently cause it to split over the course of time. Humidity ranging between 35-45% will guard against shrinking, cracking or expansion. Basements with high humidity levels should always be avoided. You may choose to dehumidify (or humidify) your room depending on your environment. Extreme temperatures or humidity will definitely ruin your fine wood furniture. Most materials used to protect your finished furniture are dual component products that require 21-30 days in order to achieve their maximum protection on your natural wood surface. During this curing process, damage will occur if extra caution is not used when placing hot materials on top. Use special care, especially in this first month, and protect your furniture by using coasters, trivets, potholders or a table pad. In time, your furniture will achieve its full protective properties.

ally Bentley of Designing Women has been guiding customers throughout the various showrooms inside Hickory Furniture Mart for over 17 years. She is a firm believer that you will not find a better selection of quality home furnishings at affordable prices with knowledgeable sales staff anywhere else. Designing Women’s staff of experienced professional interior designers consists of Sally Bentley, Donna Chamberlain and Kirsten Hart. Sally’s team has direct access to many of the world’s finest handcrafted furniture manufacturers well-known for producing the latest styles and designs within the furniture industry. Designing Women offers their clients the opportunity to become a part of their own personal design experience in a consumer friendly environment. They personally take around their clients to each showroom inside the Mart so they are able to test out multiple pieces of furniture in order to find the exact style and design that best suits their needs. Sally adds “We start out every consultation by asking each client how much space will be used, its primary function and then we ask them questions relating to their lifestyle, such as “Do you have any children?,” “Will your pets be allowed on your furniture?”, “Will this piece be used as a primary piece or for occasional entertaining?”

After that we need to address the importance of a realistic budget so we do not focus on items that will not fit into the overall project. Then it is time to create a complete furniture plan, including the finishing touch which we like to refer to as the “jewelry of the home:” rugs, lamps, artwork and custom accessories.” It is very important for a designer to know how to choose quality products that will not go out of style in two years or fall apart in three. It is also important to understand the client’s taste and preferences and provide them with an overall look that they will be comfortable with on a daily basis. Designing Women will work on whole home or single room projects. Customers pay an hourly rate for their services with a three hour minimum. This option allows both parties to maintain flexibility. They are also willing to travel to a client’s home if they live out of state. Travel expenses are discussed upfront and provided in the overall project budget.

Designers Travel to North Carolina E ach year out of state designers travel to Hickory Furniture Mart for the sole purpose of purchasing furniture for themselves and their clients. Andrew Limone, Owner of Andrew Limone Interiors in Florham Park, NJ has been bringing his design students and clients from New Jersey to North Carolina for several years. When asked why he travels such a great distance for his furniture, Mr. Limone said “Hickory Furniture Mart is an incredible furniture and design resource for me. The showrooms offer superior products with the best selection of the most wellknown fine furniture brands anywhere in the world. I also travel there for the incredible North Carolina discounts. Since many of the factories are located in the region, you can always find great deals on high quality furniture that would cost you so much more anywhere else. I also like the fact that everything is located under one roof and I can browse through each showroom easily on my own. The sales staff throughout the Mart is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable and they offer their help when I need it, but they’re not pushy or intrusive. Since I work with many clients from different locations all over the world, it is extremely important to have a reliable shipping service available to transport the furniture I select

Special overnight rates are also available at the Mart’s onsite pet friendly hotel or at several partner hotels nearby.

leave home can make your shopping trip a breeze after you arrive in Hickory.” If possible, bring floor plans of your home. Sometimes you need to know the exact lengths of each wall and the exact placement of all windows and doors in each room. Be sure to note the height and placement of any chair rails or wainscoting you may have. Also be sure to record the ceiling heights in each room. Don’t forget to pack a measuring tape and notepad for the trip. Remember to bring swatches of all fabrics, trims, and rugs as well as paint chips. If you find a great deal on a sofa, you will need to be sure it will match your existing carpets, walls, and window treatments. Remember, your outlet purchases are non-returnable, so you need to be certain that your new selections won’t clash before you make your final purchases. If you plan on purchasing fabric at the Mart for window treatments, consult with a drapery workroom to calculate the correct yardage, including allowances for repeats. A “repeat” is the length of a particular design element or print that is duplicated over and over as the fabric is unrolled. When your window treatments are made, extra fabric must be allotted to match the pattern at each seam. Your drapery workroom or seamstress will be able to tell you how many repeats are needed to allow for pattern matching. Don’t forget to bring a digital camera to capture any furniture pieces that catch your eye. It is much easier to flip through photos on your camera to compare different furniture pieces than it is to try and remember from one store to another which styles you liked best. There is so much to choose from at the Mart that the choices can be a bit overwhelming if you are not organized. Bring a small sampling of photos with
you of styles you like. If you arrive in Hickory without a specific idea of what you want, it will be much harder to sort through all the Kimberly Causey choices after you arrive. Take some time before you leave to tear out pictures from magazines of styles that appeal to you. This is the easiest way to communicate your taste and style preference to the showroom designers throughout the Mart. Do your research to find the best travel offers available. Hickory Furniture Mart partners with several area hotels in order to save you money on your overnight accommodations by offering Shop & Stay packages and special Furniture Shopper Rates. There are also special showroom promotions and incentives offered throughout the year so make sure you check the Mart’s website periodically (www.hickoryfurniture.com) and inquire inside each showroom to find out about all current and future promotions being offered. Finally, if you are looking to save money, update your home and make some great new friends in the process, you can sign up for one of my furniture tour groups. This allows you to shop in a group environment with the help from a professional. Please visit my web site, www.smartdecorating.com for details on all upcoming Mart tour groups.

HOT TRENDS
Hot Trends This Year I ndustry trends come and go and it is always exciting to see what new trends make their way into the market and therefore into the home each year.
Personalized Spaces This year homeowners continue to incorporate more personalization into their home environments. Whether it is in the form of monogrammed towels, pillow cases, personal snapshots of friends or memorable keepsakes from last year’s family vacation (framed and mounted on display for all to see), people are spending more time at home and they want to be surrounded by comforting objects in their personal spaces. Nostalgia With similar characteristics as personalization, nostalgia makes its way back into many interiors this year. Times have been tough the past few years and people want to step back and be reminded of the “good ole’ days”. Elements from old time American transportation industries such as railways, airways, ocean liners, automotive, etc. are bringing a touch of nostalgia back into the modern day home. Reclaimed Woods/Vintage Inspired Warehouse Neutral and bright colored reclaimed woods and vintage inspired warehouse designs continue to increase in popularity throughout the home. Once commonly found mainly in artists’ lofts and more contemporary metropolitan homes, this year you’ll find this unique look dispersed throughout many styles of homes and apartments in both urban and rural areas.
jewelry for each room, you’ll be able to express your own personality and style and make each room truly unique. Indoor/Outdoor The line continues to blur when it comes to indoor and outdoor. Live outdoor plants are now being used in various shapes and sizes indoors to create a more inviting and relaxing atmosphere throughout the home. Indoor planters and nontraditional furniture and accessories are taking over complete spaces outdoors. Roof top and patio gardens are becoming even more popular this year, especially in urban areas where space is limited. Front yard gardens in any setting continue to focus on the healthy living aspects of growing your own produce and eco-friendly initiatives continue to thrive in all aspects of indoor and outdoor décor. Offering the largest diverse selection of home furnishings under one roof, Hickory Furniture Mart continues to offer their customers all the latest styles and designs available within the furniture industry. HFM Reference: Celebrity Designer Lori Dennis’ Blog; www.loridennis.com
Man Caves The proverbial “man cave” continues to thrive. These rooms were traditionally designated to basements and garages where there was typically not a lot of foot traffic. Now man caves tend to dominate several rooms within the home~dens, libraries, home theatre/entertainment rooms, custom cigar bars, etc. Décor in these male-inspired spaces is often more sophisticated and centers around popular themes such as James Bond, with styles, fabrics and accessories to match. These spaces are filled with over-sized, comfortable English-style furniture upholstered in dark rich fabrics or bold cigar leathers. Accessories or the “Jewelry” of the Home Women respond to the overabundance of male-inspired rooms throughout their homes and focus on accessorizing their remaining spaces with the perfect female-inspired accessories or “jewelry” to complete the look they desire. This year the use of gemstones and jewel tones expressed in precious metals of gold and silver are commonly used on fabrics, furniture, murals and wall coverings.

LEATHER
Leather Furniture Designs L
eather never seems to go out of style and that philosophy has never held more true than today. With hardworking families in need of hardworking furniture, leather is a high quality and durable material chosen by more and more families each year. Whether you want a classic tufted chesterfield sofa or you prefer something more exotic like a chair made from American Bison, you will find that most manufacturers are happy to design something to your exact specifications. It is important to decide whether you want a full aniline or fully finished leather. A full aniline leather will allow the natural beauty of the hide to shine through and will usually offer the most natural, buttery soft leather feel. Some will even still showcase original markings from the animal’s branding or barbed wire scars. A fully finished leather will offer more protection against spills and scratches and is usually best for families with multiple pets or children. Many believe that a semi-aniline leather tends to offer the best of both worlds, capturing the natural beauty of the leather, but also offering a thin coat of protection, which allows one to wipe up spills or work out scratches much easier. Genuine American Buffalo leather is approximately 40 percent stronger than traditional cowhide and is unparalleled in its soft-
ness, strength and durability. Bonded or reconstituted leather is a man-made product that combines varying degrees of genuine leather with other substances such as polyurethane to give the appearance of leather, but is more cost effective. Many manufacturers now also offer a leather match product that utilizes authentic leather on the primary surfaces where you sit, but bonded leather on the sides and the backs, which is then dyed to match the primary leather. Hair on hide leather means just that … the hair is left on the hide after processing, which allows for an eclectic look unlike any other. This can add a unique twist to any piece of furniture and can be custom designed to your liking by countless leather manufacturers. Hand tooled or stamped leathers often mirror the look of crocodile or ostrich providing even more extraordinary design options. Leather is a universal choice for any home. It is rich and warm and has just as many options as upholstered pieces, in terms of colors, textures, hide qualities, wood and nail trim finishes. The next time you decide to add a new piece of furniture to your existing collection, consider adding some leather in your home. HFM Reference: Carolina Custom Leather

OUTLETS OFFER BARGAINS
Outlets Offer Great Bargains And Immediate Availability W
Outlet savings tend to range from 65 to 80 percent off normal retail prices. In addition, you are able to buy directly off the floor and take your purchases home with you immediately. Products available inside outlets are typically a mixture of showroom samples, overruns, closeouts and custom orders that retailers or customers have cancelled for one reason or another. Many people enjoy the thrill of new product arriving daily and inventory constantly changing. If you find something in an outlet that you absolutely love, try not to hesitate too long before buying it because it may not be there when you return. Most outlets are not able to hold items and sales are usually on a first come, first serve basis. Outlets also offer one-of-a-kind Market samples. These items are very popular because they are not available anywhere else in the world. Manufacturers design samples specifically for their displays at the spring and fall International Home Furnishings wholesale Markets in High Point. Some of these pieces may never even go into production so after the Market ends many are sent to the showrooms and outlets inside the Mart where they are then made available to sell to the general public. These purchases usually spark interesting conversations with family and friends. Make sure you visit all the outlets and showrooms located inside Hickory Furniture Mart and take advantage of the special finds and incredible deals they have to offer on a daily basis. HFM

options. Outdoor fabrics and finishes such as vinyl wicker, cast aluminum, wrought iron, wicker loom and teak are virtually 100% waterproof in order to withstand the outdoor elements in any climate. When selecting your outdoor cushions, choose a material that is 100% solution-dyed acrylic. If you purchase sling furniture, make sure the material is infused with UV inhibitors for long lasting durability. International trends unveiled at the International Spoga Garden Show in Cologne, Germany featured many nostalgic and whimsical looks in addition to cooler more restrained styles infused with a variety of natural materials. This trend was marked by straightforward furniture designs, minimalism and combinations of unpainted steel and ash or grey woods. There were also many pieces that featured combinations of modern and classic designs such as modern chairs with square tubes incorporating classic or flowery laser cut patterns throughout. Roof top gardens are popping up in many urban environments. The line between indoor and outdoor continues to be blurred with the addition of live wall planters being utilized in both spaces and large sectioned areas of planters and landscaped gardens occupying entire rooms inside the home. Remember to order your outdoor furniture far enough in advance. If you are not purchasing items off the floor, most showrooms recommend that you allow at least 90 days when ordering any outdoor furniture to ensure that it will arrive within your desired time frame.

or a growing number of people, their garden, patio or balcony is their favorite place for getting away from it all. You can use outdoor furniture to create your own personal and intimate sanctuary where you are able to kick back and relax with your family and friends or unwind on your own after a stressful day at work. When deciding the best type of furniture to choose for your outdoor area, you should begin by considering the furniture’s main function. Are you always hosting family and friends at your place? Then you’ll probably need a large dining table and enough chairs to accommodate your average size group. If you intend to use your space as a personal retreat, then a comfortable lounge chair or glider bench may suit your needs better. Make sure you measure before purchasing so that your furniture fits properly without looking cramped. You do not want to lose yourself in a large space without enough furniture to fill it. Always consider your own personal style. You want to bring your personality into your space so choose colors and fabrics that make you happy and accentuate your uniqueness. Various shades of blues and greens paired with browns are very popular right now. Stripes never seem to lose their luster. If you prefer wicker, this year presents more options for thicker weaves incorporated into larger scale furniture, which gives you the ability to fill up expansive outdoor spaces quite easily. Don’t forget to accessorize with that perfect accent piece. Side tables with natural stone tops and patio tables with gas fire pits are both still very popular. The addition of outdoor lighting will allow you to extend your entertaining much later in the day. Today’s outdoor furniture is made durable enough to stay outside year round and it is as comfortable as most indoor

f you are looking for that perfect piece of furniture for your infant, toddler or teenager, you’ll be amazed at the variety of youth selections now available. When choosing youth furniture, it is important to select pieces that will adapt throughout the many stages of your child’s life. You want them to still love their furniture selections well into their teenage years. Always choose a piece of furniture that is durable and made of solid, quality construction. This is the safest option for your child. Kids will jump and play on their furniture. Lesser quality furniture may break or become damaged and could potentially harm them. Avoid sharp edges and low quality paints and finishes. Pay attention to all cushions and make sure there is enough padding in each one. Many parents are opting for quality furniture with a slightly distressed high quality finish so it does not show as much wear and tear throughout the years. Some parents prefer leather options over upholstered pieces claiming spills and stains are easier to maintain on a leather surface. Today, parents are searching for youth furniture that is more multi-functional. A perfect example of this is choosing a crib which has the option to convert into a youth bed with an existing headboard once the child becomes older. Dressing tables are now designed to also transform into dressers. Another trend that has become increasingly popular in youth furniture is the addition of multiple storage units. A common challenge with children is having enough space to store all of their books, toys and clothing. You probably remember as a child when you were asked to clean your room and you just shoved everything into one closet. Nowadays, youth furniture is designed with clever storage units
built within. These designs include classic chests, various types of armoires, bright and fun baskets with lids and simple shelving units which can hang on walls, in closets or be placed as standing units on the floor. If using floor shelving units, make sure that they are properly anchored or braced so they do not fall on your child. All of these options provide an ample amount of space for organizing your child’s room. Multipurpose chairs and benches are often equipped with hidden storage areas underneath. Allow your youth furniture to stand the test of time. Stick with traditional and classic styles for your main pieces (beds and dressers). Opt for changing fabrics on smaller, less expensive items and throw in fun and whimsical accessories and accents that add character to their space and showcase their unique individuality. A child’s room should be a form of self expression and should be adaptable as their style and taste changes over the years. Young America by Stanley is 100 percent Made in the USA and a premium youth furniture line. It is an industry leader in safety, style, and color choices. With dozens of paint and stain options, parents are able to create a look together with their child in their custom youth area. Just let your salesperson know that you are looking for youth furniture designs and they will be happy to show you everything they have available. HFM HFM | 47

ADDITIONAL TIPS
Shopping Tips From a Professional Interior Designer
W
henever I make a trip to Hickory Furniture Mart, I enjoy browsing through all the unique showrooms, outlets and galleries. Having been to the Mart several times, I have a method for my personal shopping strategies. • Always pick up the newest issue of the Mart’s Buying Guide. I check the directory and scan for any new galleries or outlets that may have opened since my last visit. • Be sure to pick up the most recent HFM floorplan (available at each entrance desk) to determine where your shopping adventure will begin. •T ake a walk through the entire Mart first to get the lay of the land before you begin your serious shopping. You should also remember to bring any floor plans or photos with you, and don’t forget your measuring tape, camera and comfortable walking shoes. Make sure you bring exact measurements with you. • Stay organized and establish a plan. Are you going to (1) visit all of the outlets first and then move onto the other showrooms? (2) Start at the fourth level and work your way down? (3) Start at the first level and work your way up? I prefer the first choice, but if it’s your first visit to the Mart, you might want to understand the layout and choose the second or third option to make things a bit easier. Showrooms within the Mart may change locations. Be sure to study the floor plan so you are able to locate all your favorite showrooms in advance. The lower level on the west side of the building is sometimes missed, as well as the lower level on the far south side of the building.
there is a specific piece of furniture or decorative item that might work best in the shape, size, and style I need. I don’t necessarily look at the fabric it’s covered in or the color of the wood. These things can be easily changed if the price is right. You will need to spend some time carefully looking through all of the showrooms for these special finds.
Kate Gladchun Interior Designer, Detroit, Michigan
•D etermine whether or not a certain piece of furniture will be a good buy at the price that is being offered. Consider whether or not you will need to change the fabric or decide if it will work “as is.” If you keep an open mind and are flexible, you will realize that there are several options available to you that you may have never even considered before. Think about using a piece “as is” and paint the wood or even the fabric to make a strong personal statement. • Remember that there are also major sale events and special promotions throughout the year and you may be able to discover some additional buying incentives during these times. As you enter each showroom, check for signs posted near the doors or ask a salesperson if there are any additional discounts being offered that day. Here is a list of essentials to take with you on your next shopping trip:
• Don’t forget that eating is part of the adventure. You’ll definitely need a break to collect your thoughts and review your options, so stop by the café or coffeehouse and recharge.
Floor plans — bring precise measurements of space and existing pieces to be replaced Camera Tape measure Comfortable shoes Lightweight tote bag Color samples of your painted walls Fabric swatches from other furniture you own Fabric swatches for reupholstering a new piece Photographs of the rooms you are furnishing A sweater or sweatshirt — room temperatures can vary Keep an open mind and attitude and bring a sense of adventure Have fun
I begin each trip the same way: • I usually scour the outlets for special deals and look for any off-the-floor specials in all the other showrooms. I determine if
I am confident that you will have a successful shopping experience and discover exceptional values each time you shop at Hickory Furniture Mart. HFM
• Be sure to place a small check mark and make any necessary notations of specific pieces with descriptions next to the name of each showroom you visit on the map. This will help avoid the confusion later of wondering if you have already visited a specific showroom or where you fell in love with that perfect red sofa! As often as I have visited the Mart, if I don’t take good notes, I am often frustrated trying to track down that cute little corner table that I swore I would remember.

e realize that you may have traveled hundreds, even thousands of miles to make your furniture purchases. Finishing Touch Freight Services, the Mart’s consolidated shipping service, is located on Level 3 at the East entrance. They will see to it that your merchandise is transported safely and professionally to your home after you leave. Shipping charges are separate from your furniture purchases. The stores that you purchase from will still honor any shipping discounts they are offering even if you decide to consolidate your complete order through Finishing Touch Freight Services.
Finishing Touch Freight Services works with professional in-home delivery businesses and can arrange shipment of your furniture to anywhere in the world. We encourage you to stop by their office during Mart hours, call 800-874-6486 (toll free), 828-431-4766 (local), fax 828-431-4765, or email service@finishingtouchfreight.com to make all of your shipping arrangements. If you wish to consolidate your purchases into one shipment, you will need to place all of your orders in the same name and fill out the “Request for Consolidation of Merchandise” form located at each guest services desk or inside the Finishing Touch Freight Services office, located on Level 3. Turn in your form to the Finishing Touch Freight Services office as soon as you are finished shopping, even if you don’t want your furniture shipped right away. Merchandise that is purchased and is “ready-to-go” off the showroom floor can be shipped separately from special-order merchandise. If your purchases total 500 pounds or more, you may split-ship your order and receive the same discounted rate as if all the furniture were shipped together. You must let Finishing 56 |

Touch Freight Services know which furniture you would like to ship first, and which pieces should be delivered at a later date. If your merchandise needs to be stored for a longer period of time, please discuss this with Finishing Touch Freight Services so that they are able to inform you of any related storage fees. Typically the carriers are willing to store furniture for 60 days before any storage fees are incurred. A representative at Finishing Touch Freight Services will help you decide the best course of action for your own personal situation. You may contact Finishing Touch Freight Services at any time for information regarding your order, including the name of your assigned delivery company and whether or not all stores have released your purchases to the delivery company for shipment. All remaining balances must be paid and all stores must release your furniture before shipment can be scheduled. Just a friendly reminder that the estimated delivery times below start AFTER all account balances have been paid and all furniture has been released by each showroom: Southeast: 2-3 weeks East Coast: 2-4 weeks Midwest: 4-6 weeks West Coast: 6-8 weeks International: Shipping times vary based on final destination country. Please call or stop by shipping office for more details, including special customs forms that may be needed. Your assigned carrier will notify you at least 48 hours before your home delivery is scheduled. Please make sure that the shipper has your correct delivery address and phone number and it is important to confirm that the shipment includes all of the furniture you purchased from each showroom. Be sure to clear enough space in every room where your furniture is scheduled to be set up. You may be asked to provide an extra person at your home to assist with unloading your furniture if any single item weighs more than 350 pounds or if any large, heavy furniture must be carried up stairs or through narrow turns. Upon arrival of your furniture, please have payment for all freight charges available. Approved forms of payment include certified check or money order. Payment is required prior to unloading any of your merchandise. It is extremely important to carefully inspect each piece of furniture as it is unwrapped and brought into your home. If there are any damages, you must refuse the damaged item and contact Finishing Touch Freight Services immediately. Make notes on your bill of lading regarding any damaged or missing items so that the situation can be addressed promptly by the carrier. For additional information on consolidated shipping services, please contact Finishing Touch Freight Services directly at 800-874-6486.
