"Striking silhouettes, handcrafted detail, and highlight of seductive textures appear to reign supreme this fall …"

         TEXTURE:
 Incorporating the elements of nature will create a dramatic visual impact on your space. Adding bold and exotic styles that people can’t help but touch, adds energy to a room. Texture doesn't only mean fabrics anymore, it also pertains to art. Natural Curiosities’ Daedalus is comprised of 3,000 hand-painted feathers gathered to create a beautiful piece of work.

Silhouette:
This fall we are giving more attention to the shape of furniture.  Using curves, bold hard edges and even clear sides invents a playful form that will evoke a curiosity and excitement to a room.  Some designers to check out are: Calligaris, Caracole and B. Pila Design.

Handcrafted Detail:

Abstract, organic, rough textures and dark earth tones are the way to go this season. Mixing traditional techniques with hand woven fabrics create a cultural environment.  Arteriors and M.A Trading are two places to check out. Arteriors luxurious traditional accessories and M.A Trading’s unique bold pieces will help accomplish this look.

There is 1 hand-carver to make the block à 2 hand-block printers to print the patterns à 4 women to hand stitch the quilt = 7 craftspeople to make one hand blocked quilt.

Some unexpected trends are coming out of High Point Market this year such as marbleizing products. Marbleizing furniture and accessories is a great way to put a modern spin on any unnoticed piece. Furthermore, making its way back from the 1920’s is Art Deco! Rich colors and bold geometric shapes will vamp up any room creating a glamorous space. Adding touches of these ideas will add style to your home and will make people go "WOW!"
