Its big
business trend forecasting as it needs a little bit more science than crystal
ball gazing to get it right. Interiors fabrics often take their cue from
fashion although maybe lag ever so slightly behind. As we are now half way
through 2014 it’s a good time to reflect on the fabric trends predicted for
2014 and see if they’ve hit the mark.
Florals – a big
hit on the catwalk and it seems a huge hit in the home. Exquisite
florals are a key look although there are certainly less chintzy and more
“loose’ and billowy than we’ve seen in the past.
Botanicals - Leaf
prints are a big botanical theme this year but simplicity is key. It’s a trend
I was instantly caught on and has been splashed across the pages of many
“shelter” magazines.
Ethnic
inspiration – dreams of far-off places, a melting pot of world
cultures but contemporary. It hasn’t caught on in quite the
same way yet but watch this space.
