Watermark Living’s coordinated outdoor living collections, curated looks, custom design options and multiple educational presentations received positive marks from home furnishings retailers and design buyers attending the Spring High Point Market.
“The continued popularity of outdoor living and Watermark Living’s products and programs was evident with the increased traffic within our showroom as well as attendance at each of our three educational presentations,” said Chad Harper, national sales manager, Watermark Living. “We had a large number of new designers and retailers seek us out as well as sales representatives looking to enter the category. We continued to illustrate how outdoor can be a profitable option for retailers and designers alike.”
Watermark Living’s well-attended educational presentations included an outdoor retailing round table by Watermark Living principles, Tim and Ashley Newton. A designer panel, featuring designers Libby Langdon, Christopher Grubb and Stephanie James, was moderated by Casual Living’s editor in chief, Jennifer Bringle providing insight into creating Curated Outdoor Designer Looks. Marcia Blake of Sunbrella also presented a CEU talk on the correlation of well-being and color within outdoor textiles.
