I love going to High Point! Seeing what’s new and hot in the world of furniture and all the incredibly creative minds that brought it all together- what could be better?!
Here are some of the top trends for 2010 that we saw at the October 2009 High Point Furniture Market. (For more pictures and details go to FACEBOOK, and find: Beasley & Henley Interior Design.)
TREND #1 AU NATURAL
By far, the top design trend has to be the return of NATURAL. Natural wood, natural fabric, reclaimed this and vintage that. From furniture to lighting there was a huge focus on grey teak, reclaimed oak, pine, and natural alder. It hits you the first day and follows you through the entire market from the boutique lines like Vagabond and Zentique to entrenched players like Lexington and Hickory White.
Here are a few of the pictures:
Even accessories and side tables are hot ”au natural’, like these from Artesia.
TREND#2 DAY BEDS
Another hot item was Day Beds. Maybe for the out-of-work children who are coming back home to live or friends who need a place to sleep for awhile? Not sure why but Day Beds were very popular for your interior design and of course shown in reclaimed or natural wood and covered in natural fibers.
TREND#3 LIGHTING
