If you’ve ever wondered why so many homes for sale seem to feature the same style of sectional, rug, or sideboard—it’s not a coincidence. National furniture trends, shaped by events like the High Point Market in North Carolina, ripple across the country and right into your living room… or your listing photos.
At Set the Stage Boise Treasure Valley, we pay close attention to what’s happening at High Point—the world’s largest furniture trade show—because it helps us stage homes that feel fresh, current, and universally appealing to buyers.
What Is High Point Market—and Why Does It Matter?
Held twice a year in High Point, North Carolina, this massive event is where furniture manufacturers, designers, and retailers unveil new collections and spot emerging trends. According to a recent NPR feature, the Market doesn’t just display what’s popular—it defines it.
Designers and retailers from around the country attend to stock their showrooms and forecast what styles will resonate with consumers. Whether you’re in Boise or Brooklyn, the design decisions made in High Point shape what people will see in stores—and eventually, in staged homes.
What This Means for Homeowners and Agents
Many homeowners and agents assume staging is just “putting in furniture.” But professional home staging is a strategic marketing service—and understanding trends is part of the job.
Here’s how keeping up with national trends like those from High Point gives our clients a competitive edge:
- Style Alignment
We select pieces that align with buyer expectations. If buyers have been shopping online or touring homes, they’ve likely seen a cohesive look trending across listings. We mirror that visual language—on purpose. - Emotional Impact
Trend-aware staging evokes a lifestyle buyers aspire to. Whether it’s soft boucle chairs, warm wood tones, or curved silhouettes, using current designs helps your home feel more valuable. - Local Adaptation
While High Point sets the tone, we tailor everything to Boise. We incorporate regional preferences, neighborhood character, and home style to ensure the design feels personal—not copy-pasted.
Why This Matters in the treasure valley real estate Market
In a market where buyers often make quick decisions, first impressions are everything. A well-staged home that reflects current trends can create urgency and emotional attachment.
Homes that are staged with intention:
- Photograph better (especially online)
- Stand out at open houses
- Sell faster and closer to asking price
