Our buyers recently returned from another exciting trip to the High Point Furniture Market in High Point, North Carolina. As always, they brought insight into the upcoming trends in furniture that are soon to be everywhere. Want to be ahead of the curve? Read on as we share an inside look into the styles and trends to come.

VELVET

If you’re in the market for statement furniture, look no further than velvet. Deliciously tactile and rich in tone, velvet continues to be a design favorite. With an ability to add a luxe look and feel at a variety of price points, velvet looks best on curved silhouettes and is a surprisingly durable material with regular care.

PATTERN

It’s time to embrace bold patterns in your living room look. From chairs, to ottomans, to accent pillows – even to the base fabric on your sofa – pattern is everywhere. From bold colors to neutral palettes, it’s time to forego predictable solids and add some visual interest with an electrifying mix of patterns.

COLORFUL ACCENTS

If you want a pop of color without a huge commitment, a colorful accent piece can really do the trick. We found that casegoods really embraced a refreshing spectrum of color that can instantly make any room feel updated and on-trend.

POWER RECLINING LEATHER

Want to know the secret behind a truly effortless and enjoyable relaxation experience? Power reclining furniture upholstered in luxurious leather. With technologically advanced comfort and convenience features – like light-up cup holders that can heat or cool your beverage, power-adjustable headrests and lumbar support, and built-in USB ports – relaxation has become a true art-form.

CHEVRON

The chevron trend has long been a favorite in the upholstery and fabric accents world, but is now making its way into the world of casegoods. Found on headboards, dressers, and cabinets alike, chevron is one timeless pattern that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

ALL-IN-ONE STUDY SPACE

Parents, rejoice. There is now a solution for your kids to study, work, play, AND store their school essentials (yes, even backpacks!). This innovative collection features a secret storage drawer, built-in LED lights, USB/power strip charging integration, a large work surface, the ability to prop up books or tablets, cork board, hook for hanging a backpack, utensil drawer, and plenty of storage. Genius!

The perfect pieces of furniture can really transform the way your home looks, feels, and functions. We’re thrilled with the way this customer’s home came together using a combination of custom order pieces from WG&R and August Haven. The talented design team at August Haven also provided interior design services to make the most of the home’s open layout.

Custom order sectional, chairs, and ottoman from WG&R lay the foundation for this cohesive living room space

In the living room, this customer decided to go with a custom order sectional, pair of chairs, and ottoman from our Jonathan Louis line. Our Jonathan Louis Choices program lets you choose the perfect design for you, with options for base, arm style, seat cushion, fabric, and configuration. The storage cocktail ottoman adds convenient storage space along with a sophisticated leather-look upholstery. The accessories that finished the look were also ordered from both WG&R and August Haven.

From the living room to the dining room to the bedroom, our collaboration with the talented August Haven design team elevated the entire look and feel of this home. If you’ve ever wondered whether our custom order program is right for you, visit any WG&R location where any of our sales associates will help you find exactly what you’re looking for. And the August Haven design team is also available to help with any custom order or interior design inquiries.

You take relaxation seriously, so we do, too. When you want to maximize your downtime, you need something that will combine all the features you want and need into one comfortable and durable piece of seating.

One of the hottest growing furniture trends in the last few years has been the popularity of power reclining seating. We completely understand the appeal; after all, why choose between buying a sofa or a recliner when you can have both in one piece of furniture? And with advanced technological and convenience features built in – like storage consoles, USB ports, cupholders, power headrests, and mood lighting – it’s no wonder this furniture category has taken off.

Our 100% leather seating Bally Power Reclining Sofa features comfort and convenience features like built-in USB ports

With power-operated reclining sofas, everyone in the family can enjoy the comfort and built-in relaxation of a recliner. Our large selection of power reclining sofas and sectionals takes your relaxation game to a whole new level. And with 11 power reclining sofas in our lineup under $999, it’s easy to get charged up about enjoying the best of both worlds without breaking the bank! Here are just a few of our favorites.

Best for Movie Nights: Layla

Are you ready for a seating experience like no other? Our Layla Power Reclining collection features a black polyester/polyurethane cover for comfort and style. And when you’re ready to kick back, relax, and put your feet up, utilize Layla’s convenient power touch controls, memory foam seating, and lighted cupholders in the loveseat. Turn up the wow factor during family movie nights and power on the blue cinematic lighting under the base.

Best for Watching the Game: Bradley

If you’re looking for the ultimate spot to relax, recline, and lounge when you’re watching the game, you’ll love our Bradley 6-Pc. Power Sectional. Its spacious configuration has got everything covered, including two zero-gravity power wall recliners and a dropdown storage console with cupholders and USB ports.

Coming Soon: Aubry

Here’s a special sneak peek of our Aubry Power Reclining collection that will be arriving soon to a WG&R store near you! Aubry comes in gray or brown and features 100% leather seating. Standing apart from all the rest, Aubry also has state-of-the-art design with dual power control mechanisms, built-in USB ports, power headrest and footrest with dual button-operated memory settings, and a dropdown snack tray in the loveseat. All for an amazing Power Buy price of only $999 for the sofa!
