Soft, sexy draperies in lieu of permanent walls.
Draperies flank a nature-inspired mural with a faux window grid–bringing a sense of fashion and life to a manufacturer’s leather furniture display. Livability all year long.
Displays that highlight hot products.
Customers walking through your doors want to know what’s new, fast. Positioned at the front entrance of the Furniture Origins showroom in High Point, North Carolina, this display features the company’s glassware in a box. New furniture products were positioned on risers–signaling retailers what was new throughout the showroom.

A valuable and popular mineral, the gem is said to promote creativity and clarity of thought. What room couldn’t use a little fresh thinking?
Pretty: Pinks + Plums
As romantic as a rose garden and as charming as a baby’s blush, the sweet side of red lends a sense of playfulness and femininity to any environ. Whether coral or cotton candy, pink or plum, these colors lift the spirit and leave a room feeling oh so… well, you know.
Refuge: Aqua
Everyone needs a place to escape the busy world and light greens and blues make it easy to create an oasis of safety and calm. Soft nature-inspired shades like aqua and sage lend a sense of solitude and peace that some might say is simply heavenly.
