Autumn 2023: What We Can Expect to See in Design This Season
When it comes to interior design, I've always thought of trends as the spice that adds that extra bit of flavor to your favorite dish - and best when used in thoughtful moderation! High Point Market is a great place to explore what is new and how current trends merge successfully with the classics of design. I'm thrilled to share some exciting trends from the Fall Market that I believe will add a touch of tasteful luxury and comfort to your home or vacation rental properties, all while keeping it timelessly classic.
Trend #1: Embracing Rustic Elegance
One trend that really caught on at High Point Market is what I affectionately call "Rustic Elegance." It's about bringing the beauty of the great outdoors inside, using natural materials and warm earthy colors to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Stone table tops replaced glass, and furnishings creatively paired unlikely materials together such as woven rattan with clear lucite.
This trend is perfect for clients who want their spaces to feel like a home away from home, with a touch of nature's charm. Imagine handcrafted furniture made from reclaimed wood, stone accents, and a color palette inspired by the earth. This is the kind of trend that'll make your guests feel truly welcome.
Trend #2: Going (the color) Green
Gray has “been there, done that.” Thank goodness! This is the era of color. Along with pattern and texture, people are craving interiors that are vibrant and full of energy and life. A key color that made a noticeable showing was Green. In both bold and neutral variations, from warm olives to cool teals, green had a distinct presence at High Point. And how can you go wrong with a color that echoes one of nature’s finest?
Whether you are reaching for a biophilic feel in your spaces or a high-end jewel box ambiance, the green trend has been and will be around for a long, long time.
Trend #3: Sustainability Rocks
Sustainability isn't just a trend; it's a lifestyle. At High Point Market, there was certainly a growing emphasis on sustainable living, which I think your guests will absolutely love. Of course, this trend centers around using eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient solutions, and pieces that have a minimal environmental impact. It's a trend that resonates with those who value not just luxury but also responsible choices. Your vacation rental can be a cozy, stylish, and eco-conscious haven. You'll not only offer comfort and style but also contribute positively to a culture of conservation.
To sum things up, these trends from High Point Market offer a world of inspiration for vacation rental owners and homeowners alike, who want to elevate their spaces without breaking the bank. Rustic Elegance, Color, and Sustainable Living can transform your spaces into designer-worthy accommodations that will have guests (even if they’re simply your family!) raving.
