Furniture trends come and go — and often, decades later, cycle back again in fresh, new ways. Some trends fizzle quickly, while others stick around for a few seasons.

At High Point Market this spring, we saw a lot of the latter with many fall 2024 trends continuing to dominate home interiors and continuing to evolve. After three days spent navigating showroom spaces at Market and learning from experts, we got the scoop on what’s trending on the furniture scene this season — and further into 2025.

Unsurprisingly, several of the trends were also spotted at NMG’s PrimeTime event and expo in San Antonio back in Marck 2025.

But today, we’re talking High Point. To keep things organized, here are a few of the top trends in three high-level categories: Color, Fabric, and Design and Functionality Features. So, let’s dive into what was trending all over Market this spring.

 

Color Trends in Home Furnishings for Spring 2025 

Shades of Green

This might come as no surprise, since green has been trending in fashion for a few seasons now — and furniture trends are often inspired by the fashion industry. Plus, earthy and jewel-tone greens were spotted at Market in the fall and even in the appliance space at NMG’s March PrimeTime event in San Antonio.

Spring Market attendees saw green everywhere, in even more hues than before to match any aesthetic.

Earthy Tones

Colors derived from nature go far beyond green to include browns, grays, and other warm hues. Earthy tones were — once again — everywhere at High Point, showing up in accent and focal pieces, artwork, accessories, and more.

However, while nature-inspired neutrals are generally more muted, this Market offered a bit more brightness in the way of yellows and ambers, rust colors, and eye-catching browns, like whiskey.

Layering monochromatic earth tones is also trending to create a more elevated and sophisticated look with dimension.

Moody and High Contrast Color Combinations

Darker tones are also still trending. Think black or dark green walls, dark wood or black finishes, and deeper hued fabric. While the moody look is not new, it showed up with a twist in High Point showrooms.

To break up the stark dark, many moody designs included contrasting jewel tones or black paired with beige or off-white. These bold juxtapositions kept the moody intact, but with an unexpected lighter undertone.

Fabric and Material Trends in Home Furnishings for Spring 2025 

Rich, Soft Fabrics

We saw plusher and more inviting fabrics at fall Market, and the trend has only multiplied since then. The fabrics seen at spring Market wowed with a refined richness and textural quality. Fabrics like premium velvet, silky chenille, cushion-like bouclé and even faux fur.

Performance Fabrics

Another growing category in fabrics, performance features continue to expand beyond the expected stain and water resistance and durability. From washable fabric covers and rugs to pet friendly furniture, breathable bedding, and UV-resistant outdoor pieces, “performance” has taken on a lot more meaning over the years. There is truly a performance feature for everyone!

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly

It might be time to officially label sustainability as here to stay versus a passing trend. More and more consumers are looking for products that are not only manufactured in a way that is eco-friendly but also made with materials that are sourced ethically and even locally when possible — to reduce carbon footprint and overall environmental impact.

 

Design and Functionality Trends in Furniture for Spring 2025 

Beyond the most in-season colors and materials used in furniture today, here’s a look at what’s trending in terms of overall design and end-use.

Arches and Curves

Last fall’s softer lines and curved details are still thriving. At spring Market, organic shapes and rounded silhouettes made an even bigger splash. Arched furniture and accents added to the mix in the form of cabinetry, carved details, recessed spaces, rugs, lighting, and more.

Modular and Multifunctional Furniture

Customization and personalization are trending in most consumer-facing industries. But offering custom options at scale can be tricky — and pricey! Enter: modular furniture.

Seen all over High Point, modular furniture pieces allow for reconfiguration of larger pieces — like sectional sofas or dining room tables — to fit unique spaces and special circumstances.

For similar reasons, multifunctional furniture also showed up in a multitude of ways at High Point. From creative storage solutions and reversible rugs and cushions to hidden drink stations and bedside tables that also serve as desks, the possibilities seemed endless.

Motion Technology

The recliner is nothing new, yet motion technology has come a long way. More and more sofas, chairs, loveseats, and sectionals are now equipped with lift, recline, massage, and even zero gravity options — at least, that was the scene at High Point.

Yes, you can still find plenty of static, non-motion furniture, but for those who want all the bells and whistles, the technology is available in everything from budget to high-end designs.

Health and Wellness

Speaking of lift chairs, massage features, and zero gravity, these features also fall into the wellness category. Today’s view of wellness is far more holistic than food, fitness, and supplements. Consumers want to sleep better, eliminate aches and pains, improve their mental health — and they want to do so from the comfort of their own homes.

Given that wellness is such a hot topic, it’s no surprise that furniture and bedding manufacturers are taking notice to incorporate features that benefit mental and physical health in ways that will drive customer satisfaction along with sales.

 

Should You Follow the Latest Trends? 

Of course, selling what your customers want is never a one-size-fits-all situation. Some consumers want what they want regardless of trends, while others will always be on the lookout for new designs and ways to upgrade existing living spaces.

As a retailer, understanding what is trending in home furnishings and finding a way to balance hot must-haves with tried-and-true staples is a smart way to stay relevant while still focused on the bottom line.

But, at the end of the day, it comes down to knowing the audience you have — and the one you aim to reach.
