Notable at ABC:

COLOR

  • Warm gray was this market’s darling
  • Petal made pink feel very delicate
  • It began pairing with incoming coral
  • Sky and aqua dominated blues, but…
  • …red-cast types could not be ignored
  • Lavender debuted in multiple stands

MATERIALS AND TEXTURES

  • Metallic accents gave fabrics and wood luster
  • Two-tone wood effects had incoming status
  • Current adult preferences for upholstered headboards newly impacted cribs
  • Iron was in the early stages of a comeback for cribs
  • Organic and natural fabrics remained key
  • A quest for multiple textures kept quilts, blankets and plush toys interesting

ICONS AND THEMES

  • Chevrons and geometrics were updated with abstract or layered approaches
  • Bears kept popping up
  • Arrow motifs were everywhere, alone or with adventure-themed tents and animals
  • Giraffes, lions and especially elephants ruled
  • Emerging outer-space themes were nowhere near as strong as nautical looks
  • On the watch list: Bohemian designs
