INTERIOR DESIGNER FEATURE

We’re excited to feature Etch Design Group, a luxury interior design firm in Austin, Texas. They truly understand how to give life to spaces; filling them with color and texture, layers and patterns, with the goal of expressing who their clients really are. Specializing in residential and boutique commercial design, Etch Design Group sees every home as an opportunity to inspire possibility and to cultivate beauty.  

Principal Designer, Stephanie Lindsey, envisions a home as a place that inspires us every day, because when we’re inspired, we move through the world with more joy!  We got some great insight from Stephanie on how she approaches her work.

What importance do textiles play in your designs? 

Textiles provide the texture that we are looking for in any space; they allow for customization to make a home unique to our clients. 

Where do you take risks in your work?

We typically take risks in regards to elements that are the "icing on the cake." Meaning that foundational pieces, such as sofas, generally stay neutral and extremely functional so that our team can focus on adding color, texture, and pattern in pillows, window treatments, rugs, and art. We love pushing the boundaries when it comes to accents that are unexpected.

Why make custom goods instead of purchasing "off-the-rack" from retailers? 

We all want to live in a space that inspires us and feels like a true representation of who we are, and custom goods provide that end result more so than any other option. "Off-the-rack" options are great, don't get us wrong, but if you want that 'great' to be transformed into 'show-stopping' then custom is the way to go. We have found furniture for our clients that was the right style or even the right form, but the sizing, color, or pattern didn't fit their aesthetic. Custom allows you to personalize the pieces that you see everyday, and that's pretty amazing!

TEXTILE TRENDS & NEWS

Visiting High Point, NC for Spring Market was the highlight of the season!  Navigating the design world can feel overwhelming to designers just starting out.  I remember how shy I was at the beginning of my career because I didn’t have a design “pedigree” and came from humble beginnings.  I would have never survived Market Week back then!  

I was most excited to see that our pillow offerings are unique from others out there, but also on-trend with the abundant use of bold color and pattern.

INDUSTRY KNOW-HOW

Being at Market Week reminded me just how complex of a juggernaut the textile industry world is. The more I peel back layers to uncover better suppliers and better materials, the more I realize how much I don’t know! I did a little digging and here are some of the fascinating industry facts I uncovered. (These are overall textile facts, which includes the apparel industry).

  • China manufactures more fiber than any other country in the world, covering about 54% of the world textile market.
  • India is the largest producer of cotton.
  • India has the highest loom capacity (including hand looms) with 63% of the world’s market share.
  • Polyester, a synthetic textile, accounts for 51% of textiles produced. Cotton is second with 25%.
  • On average, Americans throw away 81 lbs of textiles each, every year. This amounts to 26 billion pounds of textile waste in the United States alone.

    Learning these types of facts helps fortify our position to “buy well, buy once” and to buy local whenever possible. If you’re ready to forgo the fast fashion furnishings world and invest in handmade, quality, custom goods for your home, we are here to help.
