Top 10 Trends from High Point Spring Market 2025

I recently returned from the High Point Spring Market, and let me tell you—there were some seriously exciting trends on display this year! From bold colors making a comeback to classic design elements getting a fresh twist, there was so much to take in. Whether you’re looking to refresh your designs or just curious about what’s next, here are the top 10 trends I spotted that will be shaping interiors in 2025.

As always, lots and lots of photos!

 1. Color is Back!!

After (too many) years of boring neutrals, it’s safe to say color is back in a big way—and I’m loving it! At Spring Market, I spotted rich earthy tones like terracotta, cinnamon, gold, blue, brown and mossy greens making their way into everything from wall colors, to sofas to accessories.

Earthy olive green, sage, and moss green  was also plentiful.

Is the early 2000's popular color combo of robins egg blue and brown about to make a comeback?

Tuscan-southwestern color palettes of terracotta and olive green, were plentiful.

Here's a pumped up version of that same color pallete.

 But it’s not just about earthy warm hues—bold reds are making a huge comeback too! Think sultry, statement-making shades in upholstery, artwork, and accents. I also spotted a surprising amount of lavender, plum, and mauve! It’s like a celebration of color, and I’m all for it. These hues are giving spaces a fresh, bold energy, which is a welcome sight after so many years of gray and white.

How sexy are these red leather swivel stools??

I also spotted more mauve, lavender and plum than I've seen in years.

2. Patterns and Patterns...On my!

Plaids, stripes, florals and bold patterns are making a strong return in upholstery, with some pieces offering a nostalgic nod to 70’s styles. From sofas to accent chairs, these bold patterned fabrics bring texture and visual interest, making them stand out in any room. 

Mixing or "drenching" these bold patterns all in the same room is not a look for everyone, but the mix of patterns and textures adds lot’s of personality to the room.

3. Marble, Not Just for Countertops

Marble is still a favorite for luxury, but at this year’s High Point Market, it’s clear it’s not just for kitchen countertops anymore! I saw it showing up in everything from gorgeous sculptural tables to stylish lamp bases. The natural veining and cool, elegant look of marble add a touch of sophistication wherever it’s used. It’s the perfect way to make a statement without being over-the-top. Whether it’s a bold table that steals the show or a simple lamp that adds just the right amount of glam, marble is proving it’s more versatile than ever—and it’s here to stay!

4. Curves

We've seen curvy, rounded furniture trending over the past 4-5 years, and now it appears to be the standard in interior design. Chairs, sofas, cocktail tables, accessories and lighting are sporting round shapes or have curves edges.

The massive curved sofa below is as big as the entire downstairs of our condo!

Rounded chairs backs wrap around the body feel as if the chair is giving a gentle hug.

5. Sexy Backs

Say goodbye to plain, boring chair backs. Dining chairs especially have upped the interest with many showing interesting sexy backs.

We view dining chairs from the back so it makes sense that the back should be more interesting than the front.

6. Lighting as Statement Jewelry

Lighting is becoming more than just functional—it’s turning into art. Sculptural lighting fixtures are taking center stage, acting as statement pieces in their own right and bringing a sense of glamour and luxury to spaces.

 Cluster pendants are one of the standout styles, with multiple light fixtures grouped together in a beautiful, organic arrangement. These pendants create a striking visual effect, adding both form and function to any room while making lighting a true focal point.

Lighting as "Statement jewelry" is not an overstatement. Some of the newest introductions are an exact match for a pearl necklace. 

Or perhaps pearl dangling earrings?

Lighting options have become overwhelming with truly something or every taste and aesthetic. 

7. Traditional details

Traditional design elements are making a strong comeback. I saw lot's of skirted furniture, nailheads, tufted backs, and bullion fringe, along with classic brown dining tables and casegoods.

 8. Leather 

Going along with trend #7, what is more traditional than leather? Remember when leather furniture was either thought of as very formal, belonging in formal stuffy settings like libraries, or the opposite, hidden away in the basement where it was thought of as indestructible for kids and dogs? (I'm looking at you, puffy, cheap black leather sofa).

Leather is making a return in a fresh new way. I noticed more leather at High Point Market this year than ever before. Cheery, fresh color options besides than the traditional black, brown or burgundy. Also, leather is a welcome change after the impractical white boucle that was EVERYWHERE the past few years.

9. Nature-Inspired Designs

At this year’s market, there continued to be a strong focus on designs inspired by the natural world. Materials like rattan, wicker, and stone were prominent, and I saw lots of furniture and lighting with leaf and floral motifs. 

The fern leaves inside these hand blown glass pendants were grown in the glassblower's own garden.

This vignette was a great representation of the natural world theme. Branch backed chairs, leaf motif carpet, woven natural fiber pendants. and a raw wood table.

There was a real emphasis on organic shapes too— soft, rounded edges and natural textures. It’s all about bringing the beauty of nature indoors in a way that feels fresh and effortless.

 10. Sustainable and Customizable Design

Sustainability is more than just a buzzword at High Point—it’s a major trend. Many vendors are focusing on eco-friendly materials and sustainable practices, from recycled wood to responsibly sourced fabrics. But it’s not just about being green—it’s about giving people options to customize their furniture too. More and more pieces are being designed to be tailored to individual tastes and needs, whether it’s choosing the perfect fabric or adjusting the size to fit a unique space. Sustainable and customizable design is all about making pieces that are both thoughtful and personal.

That wraps it up for Spring Market 2025. Quick suggestion, go back look at all the photos and you will see many overlaps between the individual trends I pointed out.
