Her top trends appear below, and more trend information will follow in the next issue of The Trend Curve.

COLOR

  • Blues moved ahead fast, especially denim-inspired tones
  • Black was the use-it-anywhere companion
  • Cool greens advanced
  • Yellows had much more play than at Heimtextil
  • Rusted defined the future of orange
  • Dry browns took share back from gray

TEXTURES AND MATERIALS

  • Watercolor effects impacted most motifs
  • Pixilated treatments kept popping up
  • Distressed-and-matte became an emerging leather combination
  • Linen got dressed down
  • Feathered looks made walnut appear new
  • Up-cycled materials made a statement in decorative accessories

MOTIFS AND THEMES

  • Patchwork and piecing worked for nearly every motif
  • Floral design led pattern
  • An infusion of texture updated classic motifs
  • Mid-century focus drifted toward the 1970’s
  • Kilims/ikats/tie dye all worked together in a global blend
  • Nautical themes took more than a seasonal leap
