GREENVILLE, S.C., June 3, 2009 – The hottest home design trend this summer has individuals in the Upstate decorating with Asian-themed pieces. On Tuesday, June 16, local retailer Trade Route will host an event at its import and furniture accessories shop – located at Shops at Greenridge, 1125 Woodruff Road, Suite 1910 (next to Ulta) – to show attendees how they can create this look in their own homes.

Local interior designer Sarah Frye-Lapina, of Sarah Frye Design Company, will be on hand to show creative examples on how to infuse Asian-inspired items into existing spaces. Attendees will also get a tour of the store to learn about some of Trade Route’s newest and most popular accessories.

The event was created exclusively for individuals interested in learning about the latest in home décor trends, as well as ideas on how to revitalize a variety of residential settings – from classical to contemporary – with vibrant Asian-inspired accents and embellishments.

“Our last event in May was very successful, and we want to continue being a resource to our customers through special presentations like these,” said Sherry Smid, owner of Trade Route. “Adding Asian-themed pieces to a home brings positive energy and harmony to an environment – and it doesn’t have to be expensive or intimidating.”

Wine and cheese will be provided. Session is limited to the first 20 individuals who sign up. Call 864-234-1514 or e-mail info@traderouteimport.com to RSVP.
