The 13th annual Architectural Digest Home Design Show has identified color, shape, technology and health/wellness as the top 2014 trends, which will be seen throughout the aisles of Pier 94 in New York City. The long weekend (March 20-23) will feature a robust events lineup and over 500 high-end home brands from around the world.

Designers are invited to a preview on opening day, Thursday, March 20, from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. where they can view the show among other trade professionals. The show opens to the public on Friday, March 21.

Here’s a look at some highlights happening throughout the four-day show:

The reFRESH pavilion is a show-within-the-show of kitchen, bath and building products that includes new products from more than 100 premier brands, plus culinary demonstrations and tastings by top chefs.

A curated selection of limited edition, one-of-a-kind fine art, furnishings, photography and lighting from young design talents will be on display in the MADE section.
