WE HAD SO MUCH FUN TRANSFORMING OUR SHOWROOM SPACE TO TELL OUR STYLE STORY AT HIGH POINT THIS FALL. HERE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE TIPS TO INSPIRE YOUR STORYTELLING ALL YEAR LONG.
TELLING OUR STORY
BEDDING DOWN We love sophisticated, neutral bedding with pops of color where appropriate. Lots of layers — including duvets and blankets — make a spot feel cozy. Continue the theme with softer hued, neutral rugs that compliment rather than distract.
HEDGE YOUR BETS Adding large trees or plants can help break up a space organically rather than with artificial walls or curtains. Natural materials allow an open, airy feeling without abruptly stopping your eye — and allow a pop of natural color, too.
BAR IT UP Catch the bar cart craze. Create your personal bar cart style with pretty glassware, decanters, shakers, and bar tools. Add fun straws and cocktail napkins, and a stylish bar book or two — tell a story with the details you choose.

light creates focus — the absence of light creates a visual stop.
THE ARRANGEMENT Highlight the natural in fresh new ways with distinctly modern florals. Low, geometric vases lend themselves to dramatic color blocking techniques. Repeated small vases add drama to long tables. Wild sprays look great against white or neutral walls.
OPPOSITES ATTRACT Ditch matchy-matchy sensibilities. Instead, have fun mixing and matching styles to inspire the mind and delight the eye. Fancy with fun, serious with playful, masculine with feminine — each sheds new light on the other. Glam with industrial, grungy with pretty, leathers with fabrics ... must we go on?
OUR PASSION IS TO PLAY WITH STYLE, AND TO FIND THE PLACES WHERE CREATIVE “RULES” INTERSECT TO CONTRAST OR BALANCE EACH OTHER IN BRAND NEW WAYS. A THOUGHTFUL SYNERGY OF INDIVIDUAL IDEAS IS WHAT BRINGS FOUR HANDS’ STYLE TO LIFE.
