6 Nature-Inspired Trends at the Fall 2019 High Point Market

Grasses and spices influenced color palettes, while organic materials added texture to designs at the furniture show

Becky Harris
Becky HarrisNovember 2, 2019
Houzz Contributor. Hi there! I live in a 1920s cottage in Atlanta that I'll describe as "collected." I got into design via Landscape Architecture, which I studied at the University of Virginia. I've been writing about design online for quite a few years over at Hatch: The Design Public Blog.

With the wellness trend spreading to home decor, it’s no surprise that nature-inspired looks were everywhere at the fall 2019 High Point Market in High Point, North Carolina (Oct. 19-23). The peaceful feeling of getting back to nature is something homeowners want to experience indoors as well as out. Home decor companies exhibiting at the furniture industry trade show — the largest in the world — came through. Exhibitors showcased tropical-print- and grasscloth-covered walls; lighting and mirror frames with branch, shell and leaf motifs; and caned, rattan and wicker furniture in a range of styles.

1. Natural Materials

Rattan, wicker and caned furniture were predominant throughout the market. Kenian Fine Rattan Furniture paired its natural woven pieces with bright and bold tropical wallpaper, another trend. The natural textures of the furniture in a range of woods popped against the vibrant green backdrop.
The Erik lounge chair from Woodbridge Furniture was adapted from a 1960s Hans Wegner design and featured woven cane on the arms. Woven cane also appeared on beds, sofas and tables in a range of scales and stains.

Selamat showed a range of woven wood pieces, made more plush with intricate, sophisticated textiles.

Accessories including mirror frames also featured natural materials, such as these oyster shells at Currey & Co.
This tiered chandelier spied at Jeffan is composed of wooden beads and rope.

2. Branch and Leaf Motifs

Nature-inspired lighting sometimes went golden. This sconce from Wildwood combines a leafy motif and a gilt finish.

3. Garden Style Indoors

The rustic simplicity of farmhouse style met English cottage garden eclecticism in the showrooms. Here, designer Lauren Liess collaborated with Woodbridge Furniture, combining rustic and soft in their showroom. Airy foliage cascades from traditional garden urns atop a primitive console.
4. Flora and Fauna

Botanical art and prints ranged from oversize bright, tropical designs to these classic pressed-leaf prints seen at Uttermost.
Botanicals also went large-scale — interior designers helped showrooms use nature-inspired murals as eye-catching backdrops to show off their furnishings. For the Showhouse in a Showroom event at Alden Parkes, interior designer Shannon Ggem worked with artist Jackie Von Tobel on a custom botanical mural. Left Bank Art provided printing of the artwork, and a gilded leaf chandelier from Wildwood has a clever spot among its leaves and flowers.

At Roberta Schilling, images of the rain forest by Brazilian artist Sergio Kovacevick were the perfect complement to the company’s Brazilian furniture and accessories.
It wasn’t just flora looming large at the show — fauna was well represented as well. Tigers, elephants and snakes appeared in artwork, upholstery, wallcoverings and even furniture (in the form of an elephant-shaped wicker desk). At Jeffan, tropical birds added brilliant color to warm neutral rooms.
5. British Influence

British Colonial, English cottage garden and Arts and Crafts style were evident throughout the market. At Steven Shell, a green vanity and mirror with bamboo inlay had a garden-inspired look.
Selamat dug deep into English design history in its collaboration with Morris & Co., creating items featuring some of the iconic prints by Arts and Crafts designer William Morris. His Strawberry Thief print is seen here on the steamer trunk and console. Selamat designers had visited Morris’ home, which resulted in a variety of products inspired by the furnishings seen there.

This open console drawer represents another design detail that’s trending: the hidden surprise. The drawer is lined in Morris’ Strawberry Thief print.
6. Earthy and Spicy Hues

Nature-inspired colors weren’t limited to tans and greens. Spicy hues including saffron, ochre, cinnamon and persimmon warmed things up at many showrooms, whether on a cushy velvet sofa or a glossy side table like this one from Highland House. The shades cozied up neutral rooms, played off artwork and worked well with warm metal finishes such as brass and champagne.
