Twice a year, in April and October, furniture manufacturers, retailers, and designers from around the world travel to the otherwise quiet High Point, NC for the High Point Furniture Market (HPMKT). The Walter E. Smithe buying team never misses HPMKT as it is an opportunity for us to find the newest furniture and décor for our clients and showrooms. When we return, the question we get most often: “What were the biggest trends?”
Fresh from the [furniture] market, here are the latest furniture trends.
The coziest of fabrics
We saw oodles and oodles of chairs, sofas, and even sectionals covered in ultra-soft and cozy boucle and Sherpa fabrics. As Chicagoans, we fully support this trend. With fall in the air, these comfy styles had us wanting our favorite pair of sweats, a good book and a hot toddy!
Natural & Organic
We practically live our lives totally plugged-in and, as wonderful as it is to get outside and connect with nature, it isn’t always feasible. The next best thing? Bringing the outdoors in with furniture made with organic materials, elements and shapes. Think rattan, natural wood finishes, stones and petrified slabs of wood. On top of being cool and on-trend, it’s a beautiful, bright, and timeless look.
Throw-back inspired
One of the newest emerging trends that we are most excited about are pieces with modern interpretations of styles from decades past. Think 70s, 80s, and 90s… yes, THOSE decades past! We saw lots of greens and rust tones of the 70s, the curvaceous lines of the 80s, and oak finishes of the 90s, but all of these looks had modern updates like brass accents and organic materials. The styles all gave us nostalgic vibes while still feeling new and current.
50 Shades of White Upholstery
We are seeing more and more white upholstery go through our warehouse and this trend is only growing. The biggest driver of this trend? Worry Free fabric, of course! Our family is VERY passionate about Worry Free furniture, so we left HPMKT pumped about all the beautiful, soft and creative white fabrics we saw that had stain-resistance built-in. These fabrics look and feel like “regular” non-performance fabrics, so you don’t have to sacrifice style or comfort. Best of all, you can finally have that white sofa you’ve been coveting!
Curves for Days
Organic lines are rarely perfectly straight, and, with such an emphasis on furniture looking and feeling organic, it makes sense that furniture is moving away from being linear. There was an abundance of gorgeous and creative curved upholstery, but the curves didn’t stop there. We saw so many curvaceous casegoods like sideboards, occasional tables, dining tables and chairs, and beds. Curves naturally force your eyes to move around the room, instantly giving your space more interest.
