Warm palettes, curves and organic influences reigned at the influential trade show, but the trends didn’t stop there. Rounded shapes and warm, earthy tones and textures remain hot, but upbeat color combinations and traditional furniture are on the rise.
Curves Ahead
Over the past year-plus, rounded silhouettes have dominated upholstered furniture, appealing to our collective desire for coziness and the trend showed no sign of reversing at the spring market.
Natural Evolution
Design that connects people to nature has been big since the onset of the pandemic, but its expression in decor and furniture has continued to evolve.
Warm Palette
One of the broadest trends in the market was the general warming up of palettes with browns. They’re edging out the cool grays and stark whites that have dominated over the past decade-plus.
Color Pop
Earth tones, dusky darks and ‘80s pastels weren’t the only trending palettes that caught our eye at the spring show. According to color forecasters, vibrant blue, red and green are in our futures.
Lighting Fixtures
The lighting fixtures on display at this spring’s trade-only High Point Market ran the gamut from laid-back to ultra-luxe. Still, certain features—oversized shapes, mixed materials, wavy forms and natural references—turned up time and again.
