Six interior design professionals will take to the showrooms of Fall High Point Market this October as part of the latest Design Influencers Tour, offering a closer look at the furniture, materials, finishes and products expected to influence upcoming residential interiors.
The High Point Market Authority and Esteem Media announced the participants for the fall program Aug. 31. The two-day tour, scheduled for Oct. 18-19, will take the designers through select showrooms featuring furniture, decor and kitchen and bath products.
The Fall 2026 Design Influencers Tour participants are Cyndy Cantley of Cantley and Toulmin; Christina Jones of Twenty-Eighth Design; Melissa Oholendt of Oho Interiors; Dvira Ovadia of Dvira Interiors; Mark Schubert of M2 Design Lab; and Katie Zimmerman of Zimmerman Interiors.
“We’re thrilled to welcome a new cohort of creators to elevate visibility for leading High Point Market brands,” said Tammy Covington, HPMA president and CEO. “Across two immersive days on the showroom floors, our influencers will be well positioned to fully capture the pulse of Fall Market.”
Participating showrooms include BDI, Bernhardt Furniture Company, Crypton at Rowe Furniture, Crypton at Wesley Hall, Crypton at Huntington House, Hooker Furnishings, Hudson Valley Lighting Group, Loloi Rugs, Monogram, Regina Andrew, Schonbek and Theodore Alexander.
For the surface and panel industry, the tour provides another window into the materials and design directions gaining attention among interior designers and specifiers. Furniture and kitchen and bath products can offer early indicators of emerging preferences in color, texture, woodgrains, decorative surfaces, cabinetry, finishes and material combinations that may ultimately influence product development and specification further up the supply chain.
Tour participants will share their showroom discoveries and observations through social media during Fall Market and continue posting about their experiences through late November, extending the program's coverage beyond the October event.
Fall High Point Market takes place Oct. 17-21, 2026, in High Point, North Carolina.
