Atlanta Market Recap: Part 1

It is such a luxury to have the Atlanta Home Furnishings and Gift Market just 30 minutes from my door.  Twice a year market takes place and the newest design trends, furniture styles and product introductions happen.  Last week, I attended the show and snapped a few photos of the looks and design statements coming soon, to a store near you.

Here’s a look…

 

LIGHTING: 

 Industrial Inspired, Bold, Rough Luxe

This clear globe pendant would look so stylish in a sleek and modern kitchen.

Ceramic Ginger Jar Lamps and wood baluster lamps were all over market, especially those this rustic and aged finishes.

I love this umbrella chandelier.  The antique brass finish on the inside of the fixture gives it that touch of elegance.

 

ACCESSORIES: 

 Ceramic, Iron, Brass, Pewter, Colored Glass, Metal, Graphic, Typography

Big and bold accessories were everywhere.  The details were simple, leaving the scale of the items to make the statement.

Nude glassware and ceramics made a color statement,  as did bright, colorful glassware.

Love the look of these galvanized storage containers.  I think they would look fab in a mudroom or casual office.

WALL DECOR:

Collage Art, Eclectic, Refined & Formal, Artistic

These mixed media collage art pieces were some of my favorites.  I might just have to try my hand at crafting a custom piece of my own.

I’ve loved this mirror ever since it was introduced in a smaller size a few markets ago.  This larger size, crafted by Paragon is such dynamic piece.

 Global Views, one of my favorite manufacturers has become known for their 3-dimensional ceramic wall art.  These yellow flowers are one of their newest statements.

PILLOWS:

Graphic, Sculptural, Colorful, Modern, Shaped, Organic

Felt pillows are all the rage and have such an artistic feel to theme.

FURNITURE:

Industrial, Painted, Old-world, Aged

This hand-painted chest was a stunner.  Guildmaster, one of my favorite lines has some of the most beautiful pieces of statement furniture pieces.

This industrial antique liquor cabinet by GO HOME is awesome.  What a great piece to mix with traditional decor to spice things up a bit.

Don’t you just love this hollywood regency inspired piece from Gloabal Views?

A couple more refined rustic pieces from Guildmaster, above and below.

So there you have it, a few highlights from the Atlanta Market. 

Do you have a favorite piece?

 

I’ll be back tomorrow with a recap of some of the events I attended during market, and a few words of wisdom shared by design icons such as Stan Topol and Kathryn M. Ireland.
