I’m back from Highpoint Market and ready to talk about color! I’ve seen this gradual change from cool to warm tones in the last couple of markets, but it was quite apparent this time that warm colors are back!
Cinnamon, terracotta, ochre, cream, rose, peach, blush, mocha, rusty orange, even a few reds…..that whole family of colors was seen in various shades in many showrooms I visited this past week.
A color specialist I heard at an event even spoke about the return of warm colors to interiors.
Terracotta was a stand out color
Take a look at some of the colorful vignettes I saw at this market. Terracotta was probably the most apparent to me, and this lovely setting, below, really made a statement.
This color statement in the Wesley Hall showroom was cozy and luxurious. It was interesting to see the cognac leather ottoman paired with this color. carlaaston.com
This beautiful vignette was designed by Alison Giese for Rowe and it really presents this warm toned palette with all the colors I was seeing.

These more rusty orange tones were also displayed. They look great with gray and cream, so you can see some interesting ways to introduce some warm tones back into a more neutral gray home.

Anyone remember rojo caliente marble? It was used more during the 80’s and when I saw this table at Four Hands, it took me back!

A warm brown, seen below, adds so much richness to the gray/blue and white bedding. You can see how adding warm colors can be done without replacing everything you might have.

This vignette in the Wesley Hall showroom is a good example of how you can keep your neutral furnishings and just paint the walls and add some pillows to create a new warm toned look.

This image below was taken the same area, so same wall color, although it photographed more orange toned here. You can see it pairs nicely with navy too.

The Feizy showroom was displaying new rugs with a navy and orange tone color scheme.

This large, cognac leather sectional in the Century showroom, has a rich, warm look. It makes for a nice contrast with the gray walls.

Still Seeing Greens
While we are seeing a lot of greens in painted finishes like kitchen cabinets these days, I didn’t see it so much in the showrooms. There were some, however, that stood out.
The Vanguard showroom featured some shades of green.

This was a unique combination, more of an analogous green color scheme with various greens used in one setting. carlaaston.com
This fabulous bed in the Modern History showroom was decked out in a hunter green velvet.

This sage green sofa from Sam Moore reminded me of Sherwin Williams’ color of the year 2022, Evergreen Fog.

The Century showroom had this gorgeous, sophisticated room painted a soft green, much like a cross between Benjamin Moore’s color of the year, October Mist, and Behr’s color of the year, Breezeway. I shared these green colors and some palettes in this post back last fall when these colors came out.
I like the soft peachy blush colored upholstery they scattered throughout with the cream tones. It’s a nice marriage of warm and cool.
