We had an amazing trip to the High Point Market and are excited to share the latest and greatest trends regarding lifestyle, colors, furnishings, wood finishes, fabric and lighting.
There were some very distinct trends that we saw at this market more than previous ones, with quiet luxury, sustainable materials, escapism and customization. We'll share the products we saw, the educational and social events we attended and tell you about our Insider's Tour.
Key Takeaways
- Vacation Inspired lifestyles - from coastal and mountain homes to speakeasy style spaces, the market had several designs that bring the feel of second homes, lake houses and retreats into every day life.
- Earth tone colors like cinnamon, apricot, smoky blue and sage green marked a shift away from neutral whites and a move towards a warmer palette.
- One big lighting trend is rechargeable options in picture lights and tabletop lamps making it easy to place them anywhere. Pleated and fabric lampshades are also back in style, a classic look we haven't seen in several years.
