Hi all,
Welcome back to Part 2 of our blog post on interesting pieces and emerging design trends I saw at High Point Market!
Enjoy the following showcase of some of these cool designs! Thanks to Linda Holt Creative!
Visual Movement
I saw multiple examples of furniture designed with movement that seems to defy the laws of physics. For example rock hard composite surfaces with soft ripples and folds
or solid steel bent into a delicate twisted shape with cantilevered glass seeming to defy gravity.
Even artwork wasn’t content to stay on the canvas!
Pattern Play
Patterns patterns everywhere! From bold florals to geometric designs, the playful and colorful combination of patterns allows for a unique expression of style and personality.
Pattern Play is all about layering different prints in a way that feels cohesive yet eclectic. Whether it’s a statement chair upholstered in a striking fabric paired with a coordinating wallpaper or a mix of patterns throughout the room. I suggest to my clients that multiple patterns allows you to embrace your individuality and have fun with your decor. It’s all about the client!
Side note*.. Before I continue with pattern play I want to point out that dress makers details on upholstery is back again! Fringe, tapes, ruffles and pleats were seen in most showrooms on sofas and chairs.
Okay, now back to patterns. I personally love to mix and match different patterns. I think it adds both personality and life to the home.
I know that not everyone is adept at this but follow this rule below:
“Begin with one bold pattern as your focal point, then layer in complementary patterns that feature similar colors or motifs, creating a balanced look.”
If my client is open to it, I like mixing one large pattern with a medium and small pattern…and you can never go wrong by throwing in an animal print.
Don’t be afraid to experiment; sometimes, the most unexpected combinations can yield the most delightful results!
**COMING SOON** Stay tuned for part 3, where we’ll share more photos and trends we saw at High Point Market!
