5 days and High Point Market 2015<\/strong><\/a><\/em> will begin. The North Caroline furniture happens from 17-22 October.<\/p>\n

High Point Market 2015<\/strong><\/a> is to the home decorating world what NYFW is to the fashion community: it\u2019s the biggest event for editors, designers, and buyers to see what is hot this season for everything home. But newcomers know (or will soon find out) that this event has rules of its own. One of our first take aways? Have a map when scheduling showroom appointments, or you\u2019ll be running around sweaty as can be, ruining that awesome blouse you scored from Everlane.<\/p>\n

So, we turned to this year\u2019s Style Spotters<\/strong><\/a>, seasoned veterans of High Point Market, to see what words of wisdom they could offer us to make sure we have nothing but the best experience. Here\u2019s what they had to say.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\u201cAllow as much time as you possibly can to extend your stay at market. I recommend at least 4-5 days your first few times. Prepare your schedule and calendar well in advance and allow for interruptions.\u201d \u2013<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is always a showroom serving food and cocktails from breakfast to evening cocktails, schedule your showroom visits around these and you\u2019ll never have to fight your way into the crowded restaurants.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI highly recommend doing your due diligence weeks before you head to High Point. Research the showrooms that are your \u201cMarket Musts\u201d then organize them according to building locations and zones. Allocate a day in each building and sign up for MyMarket the online planning tool to customize your schedule of appointments, seminars and events. Planning ahead is key!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\u201cMake restaurant reservations in advance! Even your run-of-the-mill chain restaurants can have a 2 hour wait during High Point. There is a restaurant by our hotel that we have a standing reservation with for every night of High Point.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cKeep copies of your credentials in pdf format in the iBooks app on your phone to easily share this with vendors as you are setting up new accounts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michelle Wiebe, Studio M<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\u201cArrive on Friday! It\u2019s a great way to check out some of your favorite showrooms before the weekend crowds appear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s your first time to market, definitely avail yourself of the Market Orientation. Your virgin visit can be pretty daunting, and the orientation is a great way to get your bearings. Besides hitting all of the showrooms, there are so many great educational and social events to attend, so I put those in my calendar first and then schedule my showroom visits around the things I don\u2019t want to miss.\u201d<\/p>\n

Courtney Lake, Monogram Decor<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\u201cAvoid hotels at ALL costs. Try to book a house with a group of others via Airbnb or some other website that is within 5 miles of the Convention Center. It is a much more pleasant experience to stay in a house, and you don\u2019t need to rent a car as the Go Anywhere Shuttle has a 5 mile radius and will pick you up from your door and deliver you to the showrooms.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy favorite place to eat in High Point is The Parson\u2019s Table at The First United Methodist Church. The Parson\u2019s Table opens only during market and serves southern comfort food. All proceeds go to selected missions.\u201d<\/p>\n
