While Cambria design experts—Summer Kath, Head of Design; Ryan Morris, Vice President of Residential A&D Sales; and Andrea Sylvia, Vice President of Merchandising—were on the ground at High Point’s iconic Fall Market, they immersed themselves in the latest trends and shared some of their favorite finds. From unexpected wall coverings and lighting design to furniture and fabrics that beg to be touched, the following is a curated selection of some of their design discoveries each paired with a Cambria quartz design. Be sure to scroll to the end to catch a glimpse of Cambria’s showroom, which was a lively hub of creativity, hosting unforgettable moments and celebrated designers like Jean Stoffer and Grace Start.
Wallpaper Revival
This wallpaper by Thibaut adds interest while helping to create a lived-in feel that sparks your senses when you walk into the room. “We saw a large focus on patterns mixed across traditional, chinoiserie, and nostalgic nods to the 1960s and ’70s,” says Sylvia.
Patterns at Play
Sylvia notes that nostalgia is playing a big role in design today. She says, “Combining textures, colors, and patterns is a sensory push that connects to emotions. Gone are the days of all white and gray spaces. The industry is leaning into the past,” like the pattern and color of these chairs from Thibaut Design.
Details Matter
The material mix in these display boxes from Global Views reminds us that current trends are juxtaposed and tactile. Whether it’s leather, glass, or corrugated brass, Kath notes that the appeal lies in the contrast—smooth with textured, matte with reflective—to create depth and dimension in every design detail.
Stealing the Spotlight
Layers of lighting are pleasant and calming versus harsh overhead lights. And when a dramatic drop pendant light like this one from Corbett Lighting can double as an art piece, you’ve achieved an interior that is both intentional and refined.
Seeing Clearly
Even as more traditional design styles reemerge, modern accents and eclectic material mixes shape the most compelling spaces. Few elements do this better than lucite for a sense of weightless luxury like this writing desk by Theodore Alexander that Kath was drawn to.
Taking the Edge Off
Feminine details like scallops, ruffles, and ornamentation continue to define interiors of the moment. For fixtures and hard surfaces, this ethos is realized through softer organic shapes. This Cardiff chandelier from Corbett Lighting evokes a natural bloom. Layers of etched glass “petals” add dimensionality and allure.
Nature Meets Maker
Morris was drawn to this custom furniture made from exotic woods and resins by Soberon that blend artistry with natural materials. Each unique creation combines organic forms and rich texture into statement pieces for contemporary interiors.
Subtle Surprises
Kath found this fascinating Grove table object by Eichholtz crafted from solid brass. The sculptural piece blurs the line between art and function with a fluid form that seems to drip from the surface while its top provides a place to display a trinket or simply set something down. Displayed here on a sofa edge. It could also look stunning on a console table, bookcase, or mantle—anywhere you want to add a bit of unexpected interest.
An Unforgettable Experience
Our latest designs, a celebration of our exciting collaboration with designers Jean Stoffer and Grace Start, along with endless inspiration were all on display in the Cambria showroom at High Point Fall Market.
