After an action-packed week at the Fall 2014 High Point Market, we sat down with Cantoni‘s Buying Team to get the scoop on what trends we can expect to see next spring! While some past trends continue to stay strong like metallics, particularly in brass finishes, we also discovered, many lines are updating popular past designs. Check out the Cantoni Buying Team’s top 5 trends from the fall 2014 High Point Market below along with a few of their favorite finds!

Tufting

We’ve seen bold uses of the modern tufting applied to statement pieces from sofas and armchairs to fully upholstered beds and headboards. Many lines are showing strong single pieces that offer a powerful visual.

 Walnut

As we saw in April, at the Salone del Mobile in Milan, many lines are using warmer woods such as walnut in their designs with mid-century modern references and often, featuring unfinished or natural wood edges.

Rich Red Tones

Where we saw some red last market in spring, the bright and bold color was seen just about everywhere this fall and in more than just the one classic hue–from deep red tones like burgundy and plum to lighter shades, like coral and bright pink.
