Which Type of High Point Market Attendee Are You?
/
High Point Market is many things — the world's largest home furnishings trade show, a sourcing marathon, a networking goldmine, and honestly, a full personality test.
Whether you arrive with a color-coded spreadsheet or you've already taken the wrong shuttle and somehow found the best vendor of the trip — there's a Market archetype for everyone. We had a little fun breaking them all down by zodiac sign over on our Instagram, and the response was... very relatable.
But first, the fun part. Find your sign.
✦ Here’s what the stars tell us ….✦
Real talk though — your zodiac sign won't get you through Market. 👉 This will.
Look, whether you're a Virgo with a laminated itinerary or a Pisces who just goes with the flow, there's one thing every Market attendee needs: a proper guide.
High Point Market is 12 million square feet of showrooms across 180 buildings. It's overwhelming by design. Knowing where to go, what to skip, where to eat, how to get around, and which events are actually worth your time? That's what separates a productive Market week from an exhausting one.
That's exactly why the Cool Girls Guide to High Point Market exists.
Meet the Cool Girls Guide — your actual Market survival kit
Created by interior designer and High Point Market expert Marisa Wilson, the Cool Girls Guide is the insider resource designers have been sharing with each other for years. It covers everything you need to know to navigate Market week — from must-visit showrooms and logistics tips to where to eat, which events to add to your calendar, and advice from designers who've been going to Market for years.
It's practical, it's specific, and it's genuinely useful whether you're a first-timer or a Market regular who just wants to make the most of every hour.
