Lightening Up

December 5, 2013 By Michelle Lamb -

Pastels have been growing at a snail’s pace for nearly a year. But at the October 2013 High Point furniture market, these light-value hues kept popping up.

Even though there were certainly fewer pastels than there were neutrals or saturated deeps, pale-and-complex colors— joined by light-value mid-tone colors and wood stains—upped their visibility in a way that signaled a greater role for lightweight hues and finishes from 2014 – 2016.

Hickory Chair’s Hamlin Console
Wesley Hall’s complex blue
Aqua from Frederick Cooper

Aqua was favored at Company C
Neutralized blue at Century
Bernhardt Interiors’ Villette Hall Chest

Retro pastels at Rosenbaum Fine Art
Pearson’s crisp blue cushion
Century Furniture’s blush pastel

Domicil’s pale-leather sofa
Thibaut’s pale yellow
Lemony leather at CR Laine

Tourmaline Home’s layered pales
Ambella Home’s pastel pattern
Orchid at Hickory Chair
