Each spring, High Point Market North Carolina previews what’s new and noteworthy, in the world of home furnishings. It’s always inspiring. The focus for Spring 2025? Comfort, serenity, and beautifully made pieces that stand the test of time.
If you’ve been thinking about refreshing a room or reimagining your home entirely, the message is clear: create spaces that restore you.
Design that Feels as Good as it Looks
The showrooms were full of soft, inviting shapes and upholstered pieces that you just want to sink into. Curved furniture is having a moment – but it’s more than a trend. These rounded forms invite a sense of calm and well-being, especially when paired with plush textures like soft chenille.
There’s also a renewed emphasis on customization. From fabric choices to stitching details, clients are seeking pieces that reflect their personal style and lifestyle needs.
A Palette that Evokes Emotion
Color played a starring role in this market, and not just for aesthetics. The right palette can shape how a space feels and functions.
- Warm tones like terracotta, camel and ochre are replacing cool grays, creating an inviting and grounded atmosphere.
- Spring greens and sapphire blues bring a sense of energy and renewal.
- Jewel tones add richness, while neutrals – from creamy taupes to warm whites – remained essential for a timeless balance.
As always, color is about more that beauty. It influences mood, behavior, and even how we use a space.
Spaces that Soothe
Another key takeaway? Homes are evolving. The dedicated home office is giving way to wellness-oriented spaces – think yoga corners, meditation zones and spa-like bathrooms. These aren’t indulgences. They’re thoughtful responses to the demands of modern life. Designing these sanctuaries means layering natural textures, soft lighting, and calming palettes. Whether it’s a quiet reading nook or a full retreat-worthy suite, your home should offer daily restoration.
Outdoor Living, Elevated
Indoors and out, comfort is key. Outdoor furnishings are now just as stylish and tailored as what’s inside your home – meaning your patio, porch, or backyard can become a true extension of your living space.
Durable materials, plush cushion, and elevated silhouettes make it easy to entertain or unwind outdoors without sacrificing elegance. High Point previewed new options for lounging, dining, and everything in between.
Investing in What Lasts
More than ever, I am reminded that great design is never about chasing trends. It’s about making thoughtful choices – investing in well-crafted, enduring pieces that bring comfort, function, and beauty to your life.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or layering in new touches, it’s a privilege to guide client’s through a process that results in a home that feels just right.
