What’s Ahead
Color is coming on strong. There’s a 50/50 split. On one side is a discreet, yummy palette made of warm earth tones like clay, cream and russet with subtle natural green elements. On the other side, there’s a big push to highly saturated colors with a lot of depth. It’s all about full-throttle color, exuberant patterns and lots of maximalist art and creativity.
Excited About
Softer spaces. Using translucent materials such as sheer fabrics, quartzite backlit walls, or a translucent stain on woods that lets the natural grain show through to give spaces a luminous glow. We’re also doing floor-to-ceiling window walls that flood rooms in sunlight as well as white glass walls that add separation but allow natural light to move through the rooms.
Fresh Ideas
Interesting, artistically handcrafted, highly textured wall coverings with big loose patterns are creating new opportunities for adding color and interest to walls. Welcoming back colored walls in a way that is finished and elevated in execution.
