A couple of weeks ago, our team traveled to North Carolina for
High Point's Spring Market. While looking to make our last few inventory selections, we found inspiration around every corner - and rounded up our favorite trends below.
JUNGLE-INSPIRED

We've seen palm leaves, rattan, and other globally-inspired goods for months now - and Market was no different! Existing in a beach town, we feel right at home with all the natural, and somewhat tropical, elements of this trend. It's pure summer - what's not to love? Standouts from High Point included new interpretations of jute rugs (like this
Feizy patchwork jute rug and
Jaipur Living geometric woven); play with global pattern (like in this
Selamat dining chair and Jaipur Living zipper pillow); fun prints (like the
Eastern Accents Lanai Collection); and rattan pieces (like this Benton sideboard and Coco mirror from
Palacek).
TASSELS, TASSELS, TASSELS

Tassel earrings are everywhere in fashion; they're a unique way to add detail and color to an outfit. The same is true in home goods; we loved seeing an abundance of tassels and other passementerie details in a variety of ways across many showrooms. Our favorites included Kate Spade New York's pillows and blankets with
Jaipur Living and these Peruvian framed tassels from
Imagine Home.
RICHER, WARMER TONES

We'll never get enough all-white-everything - but we can't say we're sad to see cool grays and blues take a backseat to warmer and richer tones this year. Saturated jewel tones - like navys and deep greens (a nod to Pantone's 2017 color of the year, Greenery) - covered everything from upholstery to lighting, accessories and more, combined with warm metallics and pale pinks and blushes (swoon). Standouts pictured above include the Rowe Nolan Chair, Palacek Gregory Side Table, "In a Dream" by Wendover Art Group, Ombre Indigo Pillow by Elaine Smith, and Visual Comfort Larabee Sconce.
ORGANIC MEETS GEOMETRIC

We loved seeing a casual approach to geometric patterns. These new interpretations felt fresh, organic, and coastal - perfect for our island location. Our favorite iterations came in the form of rugs, like this
Jaipur Living Kate Spade New York Gramercy Rug and
Feizy Twain Rug.
THE NEW NURSERY

We were interested to learn that Millenials will outspend Baby Boomers in 2017, and further, older Millenials are settling down and starting families. The result: an abundance of unique baby and kid items - from cheeky felt mobiles and canvas bins by Petite Pehr, to this chic glider by Rowe Furniture. Personalization was also key - whether traditional monograms or these nautical flags by Imagine Home, which can be purchased in any combination, spelling your family name or baby's name (how perfect for a beach town?)!
We can't wait to bring some of these trends - interpreted in our own clean, coastal style - to you this Summer! In the meantime, let us know which is your favorite below in the comments.
