Chad James Reflects On His Gentlemen’s Quarters For The 2019 High Point Designers’ Showhouse
Nashville-based designer Chad James of Chad James Group designed a guest bedroom sponsored by Fabricut for the 2019 High Point Designers’ Showhouse. The bedroom blurs the lines between contemporary and traditional, with strong masculine undertones. The room is draped from floor to ceiling in rich, tailored textiles by Frank Ponterio for Clarence House. The sophisticated sanctuary is punctuated by two antique beds stately, yet inviting. The dark and debonair palette of neutral, monochromatic tones conveys warmth and strength in this layered guest bedroom, a place of respite and reflection.

House Beautiful | What Design Trends Defined This Decade?
In the 1970s, Americans swathed their living rooms in shag rugs and outfitted kitchens with avocado-colored appliances, which they set on the formica counters that had defined 1960s.

As can be said for fashion, every past decade has had its distinctive looks and while this one comes to a close, [Carrie Bradshaw voice] we can’t help but wonder: What will design enthusiasts someday call the defining styles of this decade?
