High Point Market fall 2015 trends

High Point Market is the largest furnishing-industry trade show in the world. More than 85,000 travel from around the world twice a year to see what trends the industry has put together for the High Point Market.

accessories shown at the High Point MArket for 2115 — Orange is the color that hit the High Point Market with a bang!

What the marketers see at the High Point Market will make its way into the stores in a few months after the market closes. Why is it important to be in the know, you ask? Because these trends will represent the home deco market for the next few years.

The Color Orange It is obvious that the fashion color of Hermes inspired the new orange color that hit High Point Market this fall. This could be the start of a lot of fashion designers entering into the furnishing market with their logo. Who knows how this trend in going to play out …..a sofa covered in LV or Gucci patterned leather or a wall hanging with a gold circle with “MK” in the middle?

Luxe Look for Sofas and Chairs The High Point Market trend this fall has taken a turn away from the industrial to the more plush comfortable look. They also have added a lot of trims and cords.

Chain Link Design Everywhere you looked at the High Point Market, the chain link was used on rug design, furniture trim, and many accessories, including bookends and lighting.

High Point Market trends — It’s very obvious that the link designs have hit the apparel market, after seeing my friend, Janet Staton wearing her newly purchased dress at a meeting a few nights ago.

Brass, Pewter and Wrought Iron Finishes Used together on Lighting When you go into a lighting showrooms today, you will be amazed how the showrooms have changed from just a year ago. You will see a lot of lanterns, basket design and metals combined with more than one metal finish. One that is getting a lot of traction is the tarnish gold finish.

Metal Tacks Used in Design The trend today is toward taking furniture and applying metal tacks to make a design. Some of the furniture pieces have been covered in fabric or covered in a glossy plastic or leather.

High Market trends for 2015 — This chest has a linen fabric covering with brass tacks applied to make the design.

Handcrafted Pieces Lots of customizable for a one-of-a-kind look. This is where a lot of Asia countries are coming on the market in a big way. Countries, such as, Vietnam and Cambodia and Africa have found a market here, because of cheap labor. Hopefully this trend will be appreciated by the homeowner whom chooses to display crafts in their home.

Handcrafted trends — The African necklace displayed in my dining room is an example of handcrafts making their way into the High Point Market this fall.

High Point Market handcraft — My necklace above was handcrafted by the African Massa Tribe.

……………are you ready for this one? Bright Colors are everywhere. I think the biggest influence must have been Street Art on the fabric designers. Pierre Frey Fabric has a huge collection with an abundance of bright color.

If you are thinking, why would I decorate with what’s trendy, only to find it out dated in a year or so? My answer to that is……… your own style and classics is the better way to go! Your home should be your comfort zone. Surround yourself with things that make only your family simile!
