We are finally back from High Point Market and ready to round up all our favorites from the trip, and of course, report all the trends we saw!
If you followed our stories on Instagram, thank you!! We absolutely love knowing that you’re along for the ride!
The biggest theme we observed at High Point Market this spring continued to be a shift towards natural, textural items, with clean, modern lines. This trend has been building for a while now, especially in home remodeling, where an indoor-outdoor feel and natural materials are more popular than ever. It’s so cool to watch the big design trends trickle down to the furniture market! We saw so many things made of (or inspired by) handmade and natural materials, like rattan, clay / plaster, jute, woven cane, etc.
I’m breaking down this big trend into five smaller trends we noticed, which I’ll walk you through below. I hope you enjoy our finds, and don’t forget to leave us a note below to tell us your favorite!
High Point Market Spring Trend: Green Everything
It’s no secret that green has been playing a big role in home décor trends recently. Hunter Green is becoming a new neutral, and we are so digging it! We saw TONS of green palm leaves, branches, and foliage this market (again, no surprise, especially for Spring) but we were pleasantly surprised to see so many green finishes on casegoods! We love how the showrooms pair the rich green with lots of natural textures, which keep things from feeling too glam.
Gorgeous, vibrant green velvets on upholstery… We saw a lot of stock upholstery being introduced in green! We even saw dark green leather…
Fun leafy green pattern play, mixed with lots of matte textures…
Some new dark green finishes on casegoods…
We loved this simple art – so striking!!
High Point Market Spring Trend: White Plaster
White plaster is another trend that has been building for quite some time, but really blew up this spring. We especially saw this trend on light fixtures!! The plaster’s texture with the matte white finish creates a super clean look that doesn’t feel too modern.
The original plaster…
And the new version! We love it on casegoods and table lamps…
In modern lines on lighting…
We also saw a lot of branch-inspired light fixtures in this finish!
How gorgeous would this guy be in an entry, or over a dining table??
High Point Market Spring Trend: Faux Raffia
You know I love a good grasscloth wallpaper, but raffia on upholstery?? You betcha! We’ve seen plenty of raffia on casegoods, but this market we saw so much raffia or faux raffia fabric on soft upholstery. Chairs, beds, pillows, you name it. It adds amazing texture, but is still soft to the touch and comfortable! We are so excited to see this trend grow!
Here it is on the back of upholstered chairs…
A fun raffia headboard with matching pillows AND duvet…
Some faux raffia fabric on another duvet cover and throw pillow… these were both super soft to the touch, if you can believe it!
Faux raffia fabric on the back of a sectional…
And finally, raffia seat cushions!
High Point Market Spring Trend: Feathers and Fringe
Another nature-inspired element that had a serious moment this market. We saw so many fringed mirrors and feathered light fixtures!
Can you even stand how cute these light fixtures are?! We could see these hanging in a girl’s bedroom…
… or having a seriously glamorous moment on a funky entry table!
We loved this cool fringed pendant and side table…
And don’t get me started on all the fringe mirrors we saw!! We don’t see this trend going away anytime soon…
High Point Market Spring Trend: Wood with Woven Cane
Cane and rattan have been everywhere the last few years at market, and they are only getting MORE prominent, if that’s even possible. It feels like every company was offering cane now, and we aren’t complaining! Here are some of our favorite examples, we especially love the natural cane…
So many awesome chairs with caning detail!!
Lots of handsome cabinets with cane fronts…
We loved these little cane benches too!
As for ongoing trends that are still going strong, vintage textiles and rugs aren’t going away anytime soon…
Same goes for stripes… We especially love ones with varying widths!
So tell us, which trend is your favorite?! Will you be incorporating any into your own home for the summer season?
