Spring 2023 High Point Furniture Market Trends

River Rock Forms and Curvilinear Designs

Drawing inspiration from the beauty of Mother Nature and its imperfect shapes, the trend of river rock forms and curvilinear designs made a notable impact at this market. Eichholtz displayed innovative and stunning sofas with weighted pieces that mimicked the curves and neutral colors of river rocks, creating a harmonious blend of elegance, coziness, and functionality. This trend also extended to upholstery, featuring soothing and soft edges.

Other brands, including Moe's Home Collection, Vanguard, and Natuzzi, also embraced this nature-inspired trend, offering unique and captivating furniture pieces that will wow your guests and create a conversation. You can incorporate this unique trend into your home with funky pillows, beanbag chairs, curved sofas, or coffee tables with a curvilinear design.

New Traditional

Contrary to popular belief, traditional furniture remains in vogue. At this market, there was a resurgence of traditional styles, but with a modern twist. Gorgeous browns took center stage, providing a nod to traditional furniture while incorporating fun patterns and bright colors to infuse a sense of contemporary design. Brands such as Hooker, Theodore Alexander, Century, and Chelsea House seamlessly blended traditional elements with modern aesthetics, offering homeowners an exciting way to update their spaces with a touch of timeless charm.

You can incorporate this trend into your home by adding a classy chandelier to brighten up your space. If you have traditional brown furniture, add a modern twist to it by adding pops of color and vibrant patterns to the upholstery. You can also add modern accents and accessories to give your traditional furniture a new look.

Warm and Moody Tones

Creating an atmosphere of warmth and intimacy, the use of warm and moody tones in furniture and home decor was another popular trend. Leather and velvet upholstery, along with saturated walls, set the stage for a cozy and inviting ambiance. Deep tones such as brown and plaid patterns were particularly popular choices, creating a luxurious scene that exuded comfort and style.

Pro tip: Mix rich browns with saturated walls and plaid patterns for a cozy and inviting ambiance.

Tone on Tone Designs

This market also showcased the trend of tone-on-tone designs, where layers of the same color were artfully combined with a mix of patterns to create a subtly bold look. Brands like Universal, Vanguard, and Huntington House showcased furniture pieces that featured this sophisticated design approach, which created a cohesive and visually appealing aesthetic.

Cohesive Color Schemes

Another exciting trend witnessed at this spring market was the use of cohesive color schemes, where multiple elements within a space shared the same color. From wall colors that matched the hue of sofas and cushioned pillows to accessories that harmonized with the overall color palette, this approach created a visually unified and aesthetically pleasing environment. You can easily create a cohesive color scheme in your home by matching accents such as pillows and accessories with a similar color hue. If you want to go all the way, you can match your wall color with your sofa or accent chairs.

Pinks, Violets, and Maroons

Throughout this market, pinks, violets, and maroons made a significant impact. These captivating shades were found in various forms, including beautiful artwork, live florals, floral accents, and wallpapers. As the 2023 Pantone color of the year was Viva Magenta, it came as no surprise that these hues took center stage. Brands such as Century, Lillian August, Hickory White, and Wesley Hall incorporated these colors in their offerings, inspiring homeowners with opportunities to add bold pops of pink that inject life and vibrancy into every room. You can use wallpaper, florals, accent pieces, or artwork to easily incorporate these beautiful colors to your home. If you want to go bigger, you can add a magenta or violet sofa that is sure to wow your guests.
