Lasting Style

"We are seeing the effects of our 'buy it and throw it away' consumerism on our planet and I think people will realize that developing a personal, lasting style, is not only beautiful and unique, but good for the environment, as well," says Kate Patterson of Perlmutter Freiwald.

Colors + Prints

Mimi Meacham of Marian Louise Designs is looking forward to seeing more color in the coming year. "After more of a subdued few years, in terms of fabrics, I see people embracing fun colors and unique prints in their everyday furniture. Utilizing colorful printed fabrics, custom upholstered sofas, chairs and window treatments will be fun, fierce and another way to bring personality into the space. Walls, doors and millwork will get a colorful facelift with greens, blues, mauves and yellows to uplift and frame the prints."

Minimalism

"With the busy lives that we all live, paring down the amount of stuff to deal with in the home will feel enticing. We probably only need less than half of what we have, and prioritizing the important, functional and high-designed pieces is the best way to feel more free and in control at the same time," says Meacham.
