High Point Market: Trends on the Rise

Our whole team jumped on a plane this year and saw the sights of High Point Spring Market in High Point, NC. We found new products, new vendors, new collaborations, and new trends on the rise and we are excited to report back all the new coming to interiors! Come along on our journey through HPMKT!

We compiled a list of all the common things we saw across showrooms and styles. Things that have been popular and still will be, and a few things we are just starting to see on the scene:

Scalloped Edges – everywhere in seating, tables, hardware, joinery, pillows, you name it!
Burl Wood– both light and dark wood tables and casegoods
Textile-Wrapped Furniture – grasscloth, linen, raffia, leather, and faux shagreen wrapping furniture
Contrast Welts & Trim – on seating, pillows, and draperies galore
Cordless Lamps – beyond table lamps to floor lamps, and even some sconces
Pleats & Ruffles– on skirts for chairs, sofas, pillow trim, lampshades, and draperies of course
Checks, plaids, & gingham – classic square patterns on everything with textiles!
Solids with depth – single colors on upholstered seating and rugs that have lots of variation and movement
Textures– in textiles, in lighting, in accessories, we see depth being added to neutral looks
Pastels & florals– all over furniture, walls, textiles, and accessories
Colors– Chocolate Brown, Green, and Purple – spotted on walls, furniture, and accessories
Sphere Pillows – a fun accessory in almost every showroom
Wicker, Rattan, Jute, & Caning– these natural textures are incorporated into furniture, lighting, and accessories in almost every showroom
Mohair & extra-shaggy textiles – seen on seating, pillows, rugs- we started referring to this as “teddy bear vibe”
Curves, Arches, & Spindles– turned legs, contoured table tops, and arches incorporated into furniture, lighting, and accessories
Sneaky Recliners- beautiful lounge chairs that you wouldn’t even know can recline, and are even motorized!
Tufting– from its humble beginnings on sofas & headboards, channel tufting has spread to be on chairs, ottomans, pillows, and so much more

But first, let’s just see some pretty showrooms!

Beautiful. Its always such a fun time to see new things, get inspired by stunning showrooms, and hear more about the products we source for our clients. Feeling ready to amp up your home now? I know I am!

Check out some of the trends we spotted below. Each photo has two or three different trends- which is your favorite? We can’t pick! If you’e loving the Chocolate trend, you can see more about it on our recent post on Chocolate Interiors!

Whew, that was a lot! Can you imagine, that is only scratching the surface of what we saw. We counted 72 showrooms that we stopped in in less than 3 days, and did you know even that is only a portion of what is at market?

We found some similar products below that you can order yourselves put in your own home! Of course we can source these things for you and so much more, so make sure to ask us how about how we do full-service design with our wholesale accounts to find you the best things from inspiration through to installation.
