Trends

Coming soon to a sofa near you...An urban mood, in pale, bleached and artificial colors, teamed with the softness of grey-cast neutrals (cement, clay, recycled paper, slate or metal powder. )Medium shades set off by a white accent, contrasted with earthy darks., and crossed by grating flashy colors.Also mysterious and night-time shadows and austere faux blacks that catch the light.

Trends that continue:

Green Green Green- As in earth friendly.

Monochrome- Layer several shades of the same color in different textures and sheens.

Tribal- Animal Prints and khaki. make sure to throw in some flash so it doesn't get too g'day mate.

Multi cultural- Put down roots, grow your own culture, adopt a tribe...Chinese inspired, African inspired, Near East, Far East sis boom bah ...think terracotta, sea blue, saffron yellows, sari orange, zen garden gray.

Retro- George Nelson clocks (you know the ones with all the little balls on the ends), sunbursts, pop art, sleek lines, molded plywood. (We LOVE an Eames chair here at Hygge). Make retro modern with a splash of color among neutrals. Think of a daisy growing out of a crack in the side walk, not George Jetson.

Children have gone green...thank goodness. Look for eco- friendly fabrics in real earth colors like eggplant and green bean, and early dawn colors like gray and petal pink. Find organic cotton everywhere even at Walmart. Put it on their little perfect bodies and use it in their rooms for bedding, curtains, toys.
We are leaving this earth to them...teach them to use it wisely, to live in it not on it.
