Trend Flash™ High Point, April 23, 2012

April 23, 2012 By Trend Staff -

Trend Flash is exclusively for members of The Trend Curve™ subscriber family with immediate updates from major markets and trade shows around the globe. Michelle Lamb, Editorial Director for The Trend Curve is in High Point for the semi-annual furniture market. 

Here are her top trends:
 
COLOR
– Peacock evolved to turquoise, which was key
– Navy kept showing up
– Greens came on strong, yet still trailed blues
– Orange got plenty of attention
– Gray was still prevalent, though often as warmer platinum
– On the watch list: mauve in multiple types and personalities 
 
MATERIALS
– Reclaimed wood blanketed the market
– Reverse-painted glass and mirror surged
– Black nickel inched ahead
– Faux shagreen was everywhere
– Linen-look textiles continued their run
– Print fabrics had a larger share
 
THEMES AND MOTIFS
– Lots of showrooms offered some version of a vintage-industrial look, à la Restoration Hardware
– Companies began to explore classic elements from antiquity in a deeper way 
– Sixties styles were still selling well, though seventies influences crept in
– Emerging Asian elements became the talk of the market
– Kilim-rug designs still meant a lot
– Geometrics dropped their scale again
