Just got back from High Point Market, and I have to say… this one might’ve been my favorite yet.
There was a clear theme across showrooms: familiar silhouettes, but reimagined. Think classic forms, updated with bolder proportions, richer materials, and a more sculptural presence. Furniture is getting bigger—which has us wondering if floor plans are about to follow suit with larger, more intentional living spaces.
Color drenching is still going strong, but it’s evolving. We’re seeing it layered with texture—wallpaper, drapery, tile—creating spaces that feel immersive rather than flat. And the color palette? Rich and grounded: chocolate browns (especially paired with soft blues), rust, greens, warm yellows, and plum. Moody interiors aren’t going anywhere, but they’re feeling richer and more refined.
Now, will all of this translate directly to the mountains? Not exactly—but here’s what we do see coming:
Richer, darker cabinetry.
More mountain modern meets ski chalet energy.
Layered, textural spaces that feel collected and lived-in.
And yes… potentially larger, more open rooms.
The best part? We’re not just following these trends—we’ve already been designing this way. It feels like the mountains are finally getting the spotlight they deserve.
And if you’re wondering how to incorporate these ideas without a full redesign: start small. Bring in chrome accents, updated pillows, or a statement side table. If you go bold with color, choose something timeless. And as for oversized furniture—make sure your space can truly support it.
Design should evolve with you—not force you to start over every few years.
