As we look ahead to 2023 and recently attending the Fall High Point Market – the world’s largest event in furniture buying – our Stoney Creek Furniture buying team is exhilarated by the latest trends and inspirations in home furnishings and decor. The following are just some of highlights we are exciting about.
Casual Styling
Clearly, there’s a shift toward softer, more casual styling. Light, natural wood tones – burl wood, white oaks, and pale greys – are paired with black statement pieces to define and ground a space. Earthy colour palettes and natural stone elements in organic shapes offer a warm, soothing feel.
Texture and Pattern
Sofas and chairs are covered in luscious deep-pile fabrics, soft boucles, and rich-toned velvets for optimal comfort – a welcome trend.
California coastal and mid-century modern influences appear ever-popular with fluid, geometric and bohemian rug patterns adding vibrancy and colour to living and dining rooms.
Accents
Hardware for cabinets and doors has never been more gorgeous, in all metals. And in accents? Anything goes.
Sculptural shapes and quirky textures dominate in side tables and consoles.
Raw-looking pottery pieces that convey a handmade touch made a strong showing, as did landscape art pieces that display in a series, to appear curated over the years.
Sustainability
Of course, sustainability and eco-conscious manufacturing processes remain a key focus with manufacturers revealing even more innovations for the industry to embrace.
Trips like the one to High Point Market help our team at Stoney Creek Furniture become even more savvy at helping you design your home around furniture pieces and styling ideas that will add beauty and value for years to come.
