We’ve seen it in kitchen and bathroom design and are seeing it in furnishings for other rooms of the house too. More traditional looks and features are truly making a comeback.
One could argue traditional design never goes out of style, but I do think we are seeing more of an artful mix of styles these days and it was evident at High Point Market this spring.
A stunning entrance in the Sherrill showroom with a spectacular painted floor and trimmed draperies.
Wallcovering and special nailhead trim inside paneling details in the Fabricut showroom.
Antique dark wood chairs with a modern light wood table. That simple table shows off the curves and turns of the wood beautifully. Gabby Showroom.
I was really shocked to see this French country look in the lobby at the Gabby showroom. I love the plates on the wall.
Does this remind you of shabby chic?
Thibaut’s gorgeous patterns make for a beautiful environment for this very traditional art.
Small patterns made for a soft, traditional look in the Chaddock showroom.
A lovely traditional look that incorporates clean lines and less fussy details. A small print adds a more trad appearance to these chairs.
Add touches of traditional design to more modern interiors with busts or more whimsical pieces like this new dog table below, both from Currey and Co.
This filigree mirror was a new intro at the Currey and Co. Showroom.
A company that typically makes brass beds, Worthen Custom Iron and Brass Furniture, introduced a kitchen island in this chunky tubular brass look. We’ve all seen bistro shelving using slim metal rods but this more traditional look is very appealing.
Trims contribute to a more traditional look and add intricate detail.

Decorative trim at this panel moulding adds a lovely level of detail.
Check out these two furniture pieces from Woodbridge. The bed, designed by Lauren Liess, in a more primitive, rustic style and the cocktail table designed in the spirit of 18th Century originals.
Lastly, scenic wallpaper is such a hot trend these days. People are so much more aware of it since Instagram and Pinterest and really love the traditional and dramatic look.
What’s next? A giant rolled arm sofa? It’s not next, it’s here!

In the past few seasons, High Point Market has introduced show spaces for curated groups of smaller brands, makers, artists and craftsmen. These were a highlight for me and I can’t wait to go back to see more in the fall. They definitely created a buzz! Come and see a bit of what I found….
