The simplicity through non-color and texture is a calming way to introduce design into your home in a subtle yet sophisticated way. It's no wonder that both Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore both picked shades of white for their Color of the Year!
Energizing Design
With the digital world encroaching on our physical world, the borders of being online and off-line are becoming blurred — like a digital dream. This high-energy trend livens up our aesthetic with intensive brilliance and shine, kaleidoscopic patterns and a focus on activewear fashion.

This digital-inspired trend is all about saturated color and techno design in the home. We see this trend primarily as accent fabrics to liven up a space with color, pattern and texture.

The importance here is the homemade factor in all products showing a one-of-a-kind handcrafted sensibility through texture and fabric. Especially popular with millennials, this style is actually more of a lifestyle then a trend.
Enriching Textures
This new trend focuses on highly decorative elements which blend cultural references with the past and the future, showcasing rich colors with metallic elements.

Many of us still appreciate the beauty of luxurious fabrics and style even though we're seeing these fabrics mixed with a more casual lifestyle these days. Not every room needs to evoke an over-the-top design style, but by adding fashion details like metallic, sequins, paisley patterns, damasks and even feather detailing, we can achieve what I call "new luxury"!
