Trend predictions with staying power
In late 2012 I wrote a post about 2013 trends that I thought would have great staying power. Several days ago I reread that post, and if I do say so myself I definitely hit the bullseye with my predictions. These are still going strong: simple geometric patterning nature inspired motifs (birds, feathers, florals, plants, etc. ) lighter woods in furniture and floors gold toned finishes open walls in kitchens backsplashes to the ceiling mixed colours in kitchen cabinets reclaimed/eco-friendly materials In addition it seems that there are variations of these trends that will also have great staying power. Consider: More geometric patterning Not only will you see geometric patterning used on textiles and rugs, it has moved to furniture and lighting as frameworks, overlays and inlays. Sculptural light fixtures Yes, still going strong and branching out a little from the large scale, voluminous fixtures seen in 2014 to a whole new skeleton/wire look that will be big for 2015. T
