8 Trending Furniture Styles to Inspire

The overall mood at High Point felt like a warm embrace of timeless styles. Heirloom-inspired designs, classic silhouettes, and a sense of nostalgia are defining this return to traditional aesthetics.

We’ve been working with a lot of rift-cut oak lately, so it’s exciting to see burl wood making a comeback. Especially when stained in darker tones, it can be incredibly striking. With its intricate grain patterns, burl wood adds a subtle yet luxurious touch of texture and vintage charm to any space.

Contrary to the dominance of blue in recent years, green has taken center stage. This year’s greens are richer and moodier, adding depth and serenity to interiors. Whether used in paint, furniture, or accessories, these tones evoke a connection to nature while beautifully complementing traditional elements.

Balancing the deep greens are warm and earthy clay tones. Think terracotta, muted corals, and sunbaked hues that ground a room with softness and timeless appeal.

Floral patterns are flourishing—big, bold, and unapologetically beautiful. They’re showing up in wallpaper, upholstery, and textiles, bridging the gap between classic elegance and fresh, modern design.

A favorite of traditional and casual designs alike, ticking stripes are back in a big way. Their understated, linear pattern adds texture without overpowering a room, making them a versatile choice for upholstery and accents.

Lucite, a type of high-quality acrylic often used as a substitute for glass, also made its apperance. We saw lucite featured in everything from furniture legs and table tops to decorative accessories and even lighting.

Pillows everywhere—and we can’t get enough of them! Soft, circular shapes are leading the trend, adding a playful touch and beautifully contrasting structured silhouettes and clean lines.
