From book club vibes to bows galore, here are a few of the trends we noticed as we visited AmericasMart this summer.

The summer edition of Atlanta Market had our editors on their toes. Although overall traffic may not have been as high as in January, there were plenty of new products to see throughout AmericasMart.

Even as tariffs seemed to dominate the conversation – many showrooms had signs announcing their shipping fees, or lack thereof, on their windows – we noticed several trends influencing new lines across showrooms. From fun candle holders to patriotic picks, here are five trends we noticed this summer.

Feeling Fruity

The idea of incorporating fruits into décor isn’t necessarily new, but it’s certainly being taken to new heights. Innovative pitchers and teapots, sliced fruit-inspired fashion and more makes this trend “berry” fun to see.

Fun Candle Holders

Candle holders are an easy way to change up a tablescape. Whether it’s time for a holiday or just a seasonal refresh, these finds offer fun ways to display all kinds of taper candles.

Book Lovers Rejoice!

With the continued rise of #BookTok, it’s no surprise to see brands jumping on the reading train. Clever phrases that resonate with book lovers and comfort items to cozy up with are great ways to get in on the trend.

Put a Bow On It

Bows aren’t just for holidays. While they certainly have invaded the Christmas décor for the upcoming season, they are making waves in plenty of other categories, too.
