Natural Tones

A trend that has firmly established itself in the market. Eco-stylistics, expressed through a natural palette, is not loud or flashy but deep and noble with muted tones. The inspiration comes from all natural hues: sky, earth, green, sand, from ochre to brown, gray tones in all manifestations, warm golden hues, and stone shades. Travertine, emerald, concrete gray, terracotta.

These tones evoke a sense of calm and relaxation. When used in textiles, they blend into the interior design, drawing parallels with nature.

Prints (Geometric, Animal, Plant)

To create a wow effect and dynamism in the interior, geometric and animal prints are ideal. They work best as accent elements, considering that other items will be in a more calming tone. With geometric patterns, one can be bolder and implement various unusual ideas. When using more than one print, it's important to consider the ratio of patterns—avoid placing formats of the same size next to each other, and instead focus on color and form harmony.

The trend of animal prints has been popular for several years now. The accent is usually single and self-sufficient, and pairs well with warm or muted tones. Light textured textiles also complement this trend beautifully. Linen, leather, knitted and soft coverings. It's also worth noting that artificial high-quality alternatives to natural fur are increasingly used instead of real fur.

Frills as Decorative Elements in Textiles

Another trend is various decorative elements for textiles that can enhance any solid-color cushion or blanket. Such decor draws attention to curtain ties, creating analogies with a bohemian bathrobe. Door handles or cabinet handles can also be adorned with hanging brushes. The deeper the color of the brushes or fringes, the more authentic and mysterious the interior appears.
