Creative COLLECTIVE SLATE INTERIOR’S DIVERSE INVENTORY GIVES DESIGN STYLISH STAYING POWER.
Sometimes the best style trend is a commitment to following no trend at all but rather creating a personalized collection of home furniture, accents, and art that takes new production pieces and expertly mixes and matches them with vintage, eclectic, or refurbished ones. Slate Interiors embraces this way of thinking. As a multi-merchant venue with a diverse inventory, Slate is a destination outlet for exceptional home design. With a daily-changing collection in store, clients can shop specially curated offerings, all at one location. “Our shop is truly a collective of people, and when you walk in, you’ll see everyone’s merchandise and art being displayed together,” says owner Teri Garner. “Our philosophy is to offer items that can make a home feel collected and personalized rather than a showroom of current trends. Adding a vintage or refurbished piece here and there helps make a space’s look have more staying power.” It’s this desire for “staying power” that has clients flocking to Slate to find that special piece of furniture or artwork that makes the space uniquely theirs. This doesn’t happen by sheer coincidence. The merchants and artists at Slate do the legwork so clients can reap the rewards. All of the featured artists are local to the Charlotte area and offer different styles, media, and scales of work. There is a concerted effort to feature local, original art at affordable prices, and customers are even welcomed to contact artists directly to discuss commissions. The merchants leave no stones unturned when searching for the best pieces. 74
