Now Trending at High Point Market: Opposites Definitely Attract
We're seeing color at opposite sides of the spectrum, with the softer side and the luxe side leading the way. Take a look at what you'll be seeing in stores spring/summer 2017.
High Point Market is the largest home furnishings industry trade show in the world, bringing more than 75,000 people to High Point, N.C. twice each year. After attending the fall market in October, my new mantra is "Opposites Did Attract" with metallic and pastel style influences leading the way in textile, furniture and home decor showrooms. Noting that both of these trends are on opposite sides of the decorating spectrum, it was interesting to see such a deep product assortment in both of these styles.
Let's start with my favorite metallic finds.

With texture being a leading trend throughout the home market, this oversized decorative vessel is truly a "triple threat" with texture, metallic and vibrant style from Prima Design Source.

Pastel Passion
With opposites attracting at High Point Market, we're seeing an increase in pastel decor with a fresh perspective and relaxed vibe in the home. Try pairing these updated products with white or gray for a soft color alternative.
