Notable at High Point:

COLOR

  • Blues stole the show, especially turquoise, teal and peacock
  • Greens advanced again, with cool versions directional 
  • Yellow was trending up in shades from butter to school-bus to gold
  • Raspberry pink was a key accent
  • Red was directional
  • Grays warmed, moving closer to advancing browns
  • Black was back 

MATERIALS

  • Gold-finished metals enjoyed their biggest leap in years
  • Nail-head trim was everywhere
  • There was a let-up in wood-finish values
  • Walnut continued to grow
  • Fabrics preferred woven-in texture
  • Chenille reversed its seasons-long decline

THEMES AND MOTIFS

  • 1970s-1980s had an influence on contemporary style
  • Ethnic tile designs had lots of support
  • Asian looks were still building
  • Grillwork and fretwork allover designs meant a lot
