Get a glimpse at the Fall Market introductions of a few exhibitors that I just can't wait to show you.

I've been thinking about the themes to keep track of in 2020: Visiting High Point with the abundance of products can make it hard to define the best of the new. But in reflection, I can clearly see a shift in our home marketplace. We see a solid shift in colors and fabrics, and for me, the sofas being the main furniture highlight. Add to that the welcoming wave of eco-friendly and the naturalist materials to create comfortable elegance. As a designer we are always seeking Innovative design with purpose, to create and reveal the beauty of our clients home.

INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS SEEN AT HIGH POINT MARKET I've been thinking about the themes to keep track of in 2020: Visiting High Point with the abundance of products can make it hard to define the best of the new. But in reflection, I see a shift in…

Themes: Calming, Weathered Mediterranean, Eco-Friendly, Nature or Naturally inspired with my favorite, a mix of vintage and of course.

I know that's a lot to take in, but it was really all there and they relate to each other. Wicker made a big impact on me this season in the furniture offerings with hints of vintage shapes. Lots of wicker and caning in furniture and lighting, these were everywhere. These items are at home in a contemporary environment as well as a more traditional setting, hence their success.

Let’s Talk About Color in Fabrics and Furniture.

The overall pallet was again Washed whites, Blush and sandy greys accented with metals in gold. It was everywhere. We also saw A mix of woods dominating with cerused oaks, fumed oaks, and walnut leading in popularity. textural linens and the rich layered fabrics for the Sofa and Lounge Chairs. My holy trinity of the furniture at the market this year was Verellen, Cisco Brothers and Alfonso Marina.

Color: Cream As A Base Color

in furnishings and envelopes, being also used to balance the blush/ soft pink or gray in many spaces with pops of color or color blocks in furniture and soft furnishings. Everyone was talking about the shift from the millennial pink, to a softer pink and complementive palettes like the color “first light” from Benjamin Moore Paints or the “calming pink” by Farrow and Ball.

Nature-Inspired Colors,

from the sky and earth, such as ochre, blues, and sienna. Mostly I saw a lot of creams, with these earth accents. The with interiors has shifted, not too beige but more of a cream palette, with a cool light grey and pops of color and natural materials. I have a lot of images on my blog to illustrate the use of these colors in our interiors. Gray is still a decor player but as I’m reading I keep hearing that the shift is moving from gray to the bone. In other words from cool neutrals to warmer ones.

Pops Of Color,

Strong use of color used as an accent. A strong pop of color to surprise you in a desk inset, beautifully crafted and lacquered wood doors like below or as an accent chair in a room

TAKING DIRECTION FROM BOUTIQUE HOTELING: ORGANIC MODERN

Just to recap: To me, I've noticed all these trends in decor still appears to mimic that of luxury hoteling. Hotels are leading the current residential home market with these earthy textures and a relaxed elegance expressed in the handmade materials and structures. I think this is a trend with staying power.

Organic / Modern is a prevalent theme seen in hoteling, boutique hoteling, AirBnB, and eco-hotels. They are all mimicking the feeling and elements of a tailored and crafted home.

We see this look at the ACE Hotel, The Standard and The W to name a few. The Williamsburg Hotel is full of material expression with a mix of periods and styles creating a Vogue Brooklyn feel, yet it is a very elegant design.

Focus on materials:

the 2 words “ Performance Fabrics! The overall color scheme for home is still very light. ( unless you are a maximalist) Over and over we saw performance fabrics like Crypton in plush velvets and performance fabrics in linen, and the trending boulcles as seen in fashion this year and last year, we see also a strong trend in the home environment.

I see velvet is still very strong in 2020! And velvet sofas are still the queen of the velvet movement because we can! These are textural, soft fabrics that are family-friendly and pet-friendly. It's these beautiful fabrics that are really what's changing the home decorating landscape. They are the reason for many of the white and now cream themes that are Lightning up our color themes in the home because you can.

The Kitchen Revolution

As someone who also works on kitchens, we are seeing that the kitchen has changed to become the dominant room of the home. As a result, more kitchen design resources are popping up at High Point Market. The Kitchen is not the utilitarian room anymore. It is an open and flowing part of the home and is an important design element in most homes. We spend more time in the kitchen than most other rooms in our homes with family and friends. It makes sense that interior design must flow from this room in harmony with the rest of the home decor. It's no longer an independent room, it’s part of the overall design theme. It is open, beautiful and leading the design many times as part of the overall design in many homes.
