Working in the interior design industry it is important to
keep an eye on the market trends. What
never fails to surprise us here at Aspire is the number of trends which can run
simultaneously – often completely contradicting each other. This is particularly true with our
predictions for 2016.
Naturals
We are consistently seeing the trend for naturals repeated
throughout interiors. Floral and neutral
fabrics with a naturalistic style are consistent best sellers here at Aspire.
Naturals is a trend we expect to see continue well into 2016. It is the same across
our contemporary and traditional ranges – nature always inspires.
With the environment in the news, be it global warming at
the January summit in Paris or flooding in parts of Yorkshire and Cumbria, in
the UK we care about our environment and our homes reflect that.
Geometric and Nostalgia
In her article of December 2015, Gabriella Bennett describes
how nostalgia, particularly for the 60’s is predicted to be a key trend for
2016. The retro theme is something which
we have seen growing amongst purchasers of made-to-measure curtains from the Aspire
Curtains and blinds website. Indeed the
new range from iLiv due to be launched online in February 2016 has a selection
of abstract fabrics such as Sketch which have a decidedly sixties feel.
