Trend Flash™ – High Point Furniture Market

April 18, 2016 By Trend Staff -

highpoint2016-300Trend Flash™ is exclusively for Members of The Trend Curve’s subscriber family. It brings real-time updates from major markets and trade fairs around the globe.

Michelle Lamb, Editorial Director, was in High Point for the semi-annual furniture market. Her top trends are below.

COLOR

  • Neutrals created relaxed, peaceful and comforting settings
  • Shades of blue worked in layers and with neutrals
  • Greens shifted cooler
  • Blush pink was hot, yet pale orchid felt newer and fresher
  • Truffle updated browns
  • Ochre emerged in key assortments
  • Ultra-deep hues became punctuation marks

MATERIALS AND TEXTURES

  • Textiles felt thick, bulky and masculine
  • Shearling moved ahead
  • Reptile-embossed leather added 3-D texture
  • Gray stains and cerusing led the must-have list of wood treatments
  • White marble was unstoppable
  • Plaster emerged, providing yet another on-trend matte/dry finish

CONCEPTS

  • Fractured, optic and abstract geometry was key
  • So were ethnic motifs that vendors called Aztec
  • Flowers went for oversized scale
  • Boho looks crept ahead
  • Tropical leaves persisted
  • Textures and interruptions made stripes relevant again
