The major key trend from 2015 was nature, with green being the dominant hue. It’s easy to see why when you think how many of us have to spend our days in an office or commuting through built up areas. Who doesn’t get a lift from green?
Pale, subdued greens were the focus at the beginning of the year. Think sage, eau de nil, moss and pastel tones. Green feels tranquil and restful, and is often associated with fertility. It is very wholesome and there are very few houses in the UK which wouldn’t benefit from a green room.
Things spiced up as the year progressed. In summer we saw energy levels rise with the inclusion of lime,pistachio and bright green among the best sellers. Green blinds in conservatories were a popular choice as people attempted to bring the outside-in.
As the autumn leaves fell, so we see the shades of green take on darker tones. Olive, teal and hunter green come to the fore as we all snuggle down for winter. Comfort and reassurance with tactile fabrics and soft-furnishings led us all a cosy end to 2015.
The trend for green looks set to continue with Spring 2016 seeing the introduction of bright, fresh greens, emerald and lustre fabrics. Watch for the launch of new fabrics from iLiv and Belfield in early 2016.
