HNN Retail Tour: Inside Daniels’ Homeport

This week, Home News Now takes readers inside the Kitty Hawk, North Carolina-based retailer for a closer look at its product mix across several different categories.

The images below show the styling that’s popular in this coastal region of the state with a mix of upholstery and occasional, plus bedroom and dining room furniture. As seen here, the finishes and patterns speak to a more relaxed and comfortable lifestyle that’s popular whether you’re renting or spending time in your own coastal getaway.

The displays on the 12,500-square-foot sales floor also include a mix of accent pieces, wall art, rugs, lighting, vases and other decorative items that all celebrate life at the beach. Fabrics and finishes also complement the coastal lifestyle, with a mix of fabrics offering blues, off-whites and striped patterns, as well as decorative coral and seashell motifs. Meanwhile, wood finishes are also casual in nature, with a mix of whites, grays, driftwood and sandy brown tones that complement natural coastal environment.

This living room vignette showcases a setting that again features a sofa in lighter-tone fabrics from Capris, flanked by a cocktail and end tables in darker brown tones and featuring contemporary hairpin legs. The walls in the background showcase more wall art, allowing every bit of space to be filled with items for sale, and thus increasing the potential sales per square foot.
