Fall brings a fresh look
Down-to-earth décor styles set the tone for furniture trends
Fall collections of home furnishings, lighting and accessories are rolling out with virtual launches as well as limitedaudience showroom events. Many are still participating in the High Point Market, which began last week and continues through Wednesday, while others took a virtual route.
Trends threading through the new collections show fresh colors, more florals and comforting, down-to-earth materials. Here are some favorites from new fall collections.

Tribute Goods owner and designer Karen Pulaski has released a beautiful new bedding collection, Magnolia, decorated in the charming Southern flowers and showing continued popularity of floral patterns. The Houston-based luxury bedding maker mixes big soft blossoms and soothing greenery in pillows (from $175), sheets (from $425), duvets (from $595) and shams (from $225) in cotton sateen and linen. $175 and up; Tribute Goods store, 3637 W.
