ELMHURST, IL, May 21 (MARKET WIRE) --
Martha Stewart was welcomed by a thousand designers, buyers and business owners
as her interview with interior designer Stephen Sills opened the first High
Point
Furniture Market event of the year. Ms. Stewart discussed the interior design
basics used to create the classic, comfortable beauty we've come to
recognize as the Martha Stewart signature. FLOR, makers of a residential line of
high-style, modular flooring, also featured at High Point, recently teamed
up with Ms. Stewart to create Martha Stewart Floor Designs. Interior design a la
Martha Stewart is now even more accessible to the DIY set.
Derived from Ms. Stewart's personal collections and her own homes -- Lily
Pond
in the New York Hamptons, Skylands in Maine, Turkey Hill, built over two
centuries ago in Westport, Connecticut and the inspiration for the new
furniture line launched at High Point -- Martha Stewart furniture is fully
complemented by her lighting, paint and carpet collections, which now include
carpet tiles from FLOR. FLOR's Martha Stewart Floor Designs, available in a
variety of styles, colors and textures, are a good start for budget-conscious
DIY'ers who want to create tranquil and intimate bedrooms, vibrant family rooms
and
warm, inviting living areas.
Ms. Stewart shared her design philosophy with the High Point crowd:
Neutralwalls and floors to create a serene space, comfortable and inviting
furniture --
still on the neutral side -- and vibrant accents that bring a welcome
splash of color. Flowers also figure heavily in Ms. Stewart's interior design
and
if you're at Martha's house, they're likely to come from her own garden.
Ms. Stewart's design philosophy can now be applied to every element of
living -- from a beautifully designed table laden with nutritious and
delicious foods, to walls colored to project any mood, beautiful furniture
that's
designed to live in and, thanks to her liaison with KB Home, beautiful homes
with wainscoting, picture-frame molding, open shelving, and landscaping
designed by her personal gardener.
DIY'ers, coping with rising prices and an unsettled economy, will appreciate
the ease of customizing and installing their own flooring with Martha Stewart
Floor Designs by FLOR. For more information on how interior design with FLOR
