If there's one thing I love about visiting High Point Furniture Market, it's seeing how the smallest details can make such a big impact on a space. From beautiful furniture silhouettes to unexpected finishes, rich colors and natural textures, there's always something that sparks a little inspiration.
In Part I, I shared a few of the trends that caught my attention. This time, I'm highlighting a few more details I'm loving—from statement game tables and beautiful natural materials to the colors and finishes that are making their way into the spaces I'm drawn to.

Game Tables That Make a Statement
I love seeing furniture that brings people together, and game tables are such a fun way to do that. Whether it's a beautifully finished game table or a thoughtfully designed piece that doubles as a conversation starter, these pieces add personality while giving a room a purpose.
I especially appreciate furniture that feels as beautiful as it is functional. A game table can create a natural gathering spot in a home, encouraging people to slow down, spend time together, and enjoy the space. It's a reminder that good design isn't just about how a room looks—it's also about how you live in it.
Natural Elements, Rich Textures & Thoughtful Details
Natural materials and layered textures continue to catch my eye. I'm drawn to the warmth of wood, interesting finishes, woven details, and materials that bring a little depth and character into a room.
I also love seeing how much personality can come from the details. Beautiful hardware, carved furniture fronts, unique mirrors, and decorative finishes can take a simple piece and make it feel special.
These are the kinds of elements that help a space feel collected rather than overly coordinated. They add interest without needing to fill a room with more things.
A Color Palette I'm Loving: Greens, Browns & Burgundy
I've always loved a space with a little depth, and the colors I'm seeing at market are right up my alley. Rich greens, warm browns, and deep burgundy tones bring a sense of warmth and character that feels both inviting and timeless.
I love how these colors work together. Green can feel grounded and calming, brown brings warmth and natural richness, and burgundy adds just the right amount of depth. Whether introduced through upholstery, artwork, accessories, or a larger furniture piece, these shades can make a room feel layered and thoughtfully finished.
And don't be afraid of color! Sometimes one unexpected shade is exactly what a room needs.
It's All in the Details
One of my favorite things about walking through High Point Market is being reminded that the pieces that make a room memorable aren't always the biggest ones. Sometimes it's an interesting texture, a beautiful finish, a playful pattern, or a detail you wouldn't necessarily expect.
Those are the things I love bringing into a design. A home should feel personal, comfortable, and full of pieces that mean something to the people who live there. Trends can be a wonderful source of inspiration, but the best spaces are always the ones that feel like you.
That's what I love most about design: finding those special details and bringing them together to create a home you truly enjoy living in.
