Every year the Design Expo is held in the Merket Alumni Center, this is a great opportunity for interior design students to put their name out there, as well as be aware of the new and upcoming interior trends. Being a second year design major, this was my second year to attend. I have always enjoyed going to this event because it is such an informing event in so many ways. I have been able to gain information mostly about commercial design, which I have found to be interesting. This is also a great opportunity for all of us who are majoring in interior design to gather outside of the studio, get dressed up and spend some time together surrounded by things we love and can appreciate.
There were many booths at the expo ranging from furniture, flooring, wall coverings and furniture. Personally the Daltile booth interested me the most this year because in our studio class with Collier we are working on a project and submitting it into a competition for Daltile. Getting a chance to see all the new tiles that are being created, how they are being used and the top sellers were helpful with this project.
Tiles are not a new product, but they are creating new ways to use them. They have become more of a huge art form in houses and commercial spaces. In bathrooms I believe that you are really able to create freely with tiles and they can become a great asset in a bathroom. Tiles are easily cleaned and can upgrade a space.
The Design Expo as a success this year and those who were not able to attend, missed out on getting some great information and great goodies!
