While we typically try not to follow “trends” in design, we do find that the colors and patterns that we gravitate to does vary over time as the textiles available to us change with the seasons. This Spring, in opposition to the economic doom-and-gloom, we are seeing an array of bright happy colors including yellow, orange, red, aqua, purple, pink and indigo. In addition, the manufactures are displaying an assortment of grays mixed in with these new colors. Some might say that "gray" has become the new neutral in both fashion and interiors.
Be on the look out for dynamic large-scale patterns this year. These patterns are being offered in a variety of sophisticated designs and color-ways. For instance, stripes have always in, but now they are featured in larger scales and are typically bolder in design. We are also seeing larger scale floral and geometric patterns. Stripes and geometric patterns have always been staples in our design process as they can be used in traditional, transitional and modern settings. As always, we suggest choosing textiles and furnishings that coordinate with your personality as well as the architecture of your home. Choose patterns and colors that you love. Also, as with fashion, choose textiles that you look good in! Although you will not be wearing them, you will hopefully be spending a lot of time around them as you live and entertain in your home
