Here is a sampling of top trends from the fair. You can read more about Heimtextil in the February issue of The Trend Curve.

COLOR

  • Greens flipped the switch from warm to cool
  • Like blush before it, rose was being called the new neutral
  • Berry emerged to bridge established pinks and newer purples
  • Purples ran the gamut, but didn’t steal the show
  • Golds warmed up to curry
  • Black anchored a range of directional, rich hues

TEXTURES AND MATERIALS

  • Tactile and visual textures spoke to an important return to craft
  • Watercolor techniques were everywhere
  • Still, brush strokes looked newer
  • Stonewashed fading persisted, reinforcing a vintage sensibility
  • Digital printing exploded
  • So did weave effects, especially for velvet

ICONS AND PATTERNS

  • Flowers were big, both literally and from a trend perspective
  • Jungle looks kept building
  • Asian influences departed the basics list for trend
  • Boho style grew
  • Geometrics softened dramatically
  • This occurred as all angular designs backed off
