Wood grains are back after years of dark or painted finishes that covered them up. Distressed finishes are setting them off, with rough hewn or wire brushed effects adding more dimension. Heavier grained woods such as oak were also being touted, but in a more sophisticated style. Furniture designers played with grain lines through inlays and pattern matching. Lighter wood finishes appeared to be showing up more frequently throughout showrooms.
While the use of gray or “greige” (gray-beige) shows no sign of waning, bold colors also looked to be a strong trend. Turquoise continues its reign as the current “it” color, but every shade of green was turning up. Manufacturers’ also combined camel with gray for a rich contrast, accenting it with red. Expect to find plenty of colorful and fun patterns when you visit Hickory Furniture Mart. Our North Carolina furniture showrooms are filling up with plenty of discounted furniture pieces to create the perfect scheme.
You’ll want to add a little bling to your home, as the trend of something shiny or mirrored has gone several steps further. Using luxury and glamour to dress up a room, this elegant trend of using metallic finishes or mirrored insets on furniture evokes the feel of old Hollywood. Expect to find them everywhere, from beds, to door fronts, to table tops and even woven into floorcoverings or fabrics.
These are just a few of the trends seen at the wholesale Furniture Market at High Point this past April. When you visit our North Carolina furniture showrooms, look to see how the trends have been seamlessly worked into existing galleries without making the room look too trendy. You’ll find inspiring ways to instantly update your home’s décor.
