What's New at the High Point Furniture Market

I am happy to report the reemergence of color at the recent High Point Furniture Market. Though I can appreciate the sophisticated and gentle look of neutrals, I love seeing bright and bold colors used in accent pieces, pillows and accessories.
One of my favorites was a round, beach-ball style hassock in a variety of sizes, upholstered in a large colorful frame pattern at Cisco Brothers. Very chic and urban cool. Kathy Ireland Home by Omnia Furniture, paired classic leather with bold ethnic geometrics for a warm and inviting look. At Haversham, along with their classic case goods and kitchens, they introduced a fresh and inviting coastal palette of red and blue. Even for the bedroom, Ruby's had sumptuous colors and patterns. It was both inspiring and exciting to see colors splashed throughout the entire furniture market!
