“INSPIRING by Good’s Home Furnishings is our effort to bring you design inspiration for your home through alluring home fashion photography from the finest names in home furnishings, along with features that showcase design expertise from some of the industry’s most skilled professionals.” - Kevin Bowman CEO


Great design begins with great inspiration. The talented designers, whose work graces the pages of our magazine, understand the meaning of “Inspiring”, our magazine’s title, which is,“giving someone positive or creative feelings”. Whether the flow of a fabric on a dress for a fashion designer, or the flow through the room for an interior designer, the creativity begins at a point in the mind, or on a canvas, or today, even on a computer screen. Regardless of its origin, the inspiration for creation of room design is one that begins a process of collaboration; the collaboration of color, texture, tone, dimension, scale, mood, lighting, layering, and ultimately the love for what all of these things can produce for a client.

Please join us on this journey in our latest edition of Inspiring. Our journey will introduce or reacquaint you to some of the very best furniture manufacturers in the world with alluring images, thought-provoking product designs, and carefully curated interiors that offer aspiration to our readers. Like prior editions, we return with a look into the world of textiles with our Woven feature, which includes an interview with the talented Regenia Payne, Creative Director at the venerable leather and upholstery manufacturer, Hancock and Moore. This feature has typically focused entirely on all things textiles, with a look into the upcoming trends in fabric designs; but, with this issue, we delve into the luxurious world of high-end leather, as seen through the eyes of the one of the industry’s foremost experts on this incredible, yet often-misunderstood, natural material. Our Designer Insights feature will provide a view into the mind of one the industry’s most exciting and successful interior designers, the talented Celerie Kemble, whose elegant aesthetic has been featured in countless design magazines and chronicled in her books and through her own furniture product lines with Taylor King and Woodbridge.


We want our magazine to be more than just pretty pictures and affirmations from the brightest minds of the home industry. We also want to educate the luxury consumer on the value of luxury home furnishings. In our last edition, we guided our readers through the intricacies of buying luxury wood furniture products with detailed information on the 5 tenets of quality case goods. Throughout the pages of this edition, we take you through various design tips from trade professionals. We will delve into Mood and Style, Scale, Accessorization, Rugs, and use of Upholstery Trims. At Good’s, we work very closely with our furniture suppliers right here in Hickory, NC. Our proximity to our suppliers allows us to have the most experienced and best trained sales organizations in the home furnishings industry, and we want to share that knowledge with you to help you in selecting fine furnishings for your home.


Our designers in Hickory and Charlotte/Pineville, NC look forward to helping you create the rooms of your dreams that your family and friends can enjoy for many years.
