Here is what is trending in the textile design industry for 2018:
1. Exotic Tropics
Seen in many of the bespoke interior designs by leading home stylists, the tropical theme uses oversized palms and other exotic foliage to add colour and character to a room. Prints with both flora and fauna paired with vibrant colours are leading this trend.
2. Bold Statement Colours
One trend that is showing up increasingly more often in the couture furniture design centres are bold colours that can be added to statement pieces making a pared-down room more interesting. This new trend brings an unmistakably Mediterranean flair to any home.
3. Iridescent Embellishment
Opulent and iridescent tones provide a lavish look that can turn any room into a showplace. Metallic yarns, foils and strong metallic tones, which are highly polished, add a luxe look, while warmer tones and oxidised metallics create a more masculine ambiance.
4. Abstract Florals
Florals gained popularity in 2016 at many of the textile industry trade shows and continue to lead the trends into 2018. Mostly bold or large scale floral patterns are enjoying a re-surgence with interior designers as seen in digital print, woven and embroidered textiles.
5. Colour Trends
Colours have their own unique trends as well. Many of the major colour palettes are creating sophisticated sub-colours seen more and more in exclusive homes and yachts. These include:
● Nocturnal Shades ● Powdery Pink Tones ● Burnt Natural Tones ● Barely Tinted Neutrals ● Greenery ● Red & Turquoise Blues
