Decorating Trends

With the cocooning trend still in full swing with no sign of abating; it is obvious that more and more decorators will need to incorporate a clients needs for comfort and style into their next design. Formal, stiff interiors are on their way out as people are opting for more casual, yet beautiful environments.

Luxurious fabrics done in simple styles are the trend of the future. A solid grassroots movement away from the post-industrial utilitarian synthetics is giving way to beautiful, organic and environmentally responsible velvets, luxurious cashmeres, and exquisite silks from China in home furnishings. Styles are looser and less constructed than they have been in the last decade.

Asian and Global influence continues to be strong, with the idea of home being a serene retreat.
