We recently attended the Decoration and Design Expo in Sydney. This was a great industry event and here we share the latest in interior products and furnishings.
Main colour trends seen across retailers was the continuing
strong presence of mustard, yellow turquoise and teal in textiles , ceramics
and glassware. Upholstery and cushioning were more textured , with embroidery
and embellishment major themes.
MRD Home stand
Furniture fitted into three main categories , translated across
retailers in varying styles.
- Urban industrial
- Cultural/tribal
- Opulence
1. Urban industrial
Seen in metal furniture and salvaged /recycled materials
with colour twists, seen to best effect at Loft Furniture.
2. Cultural /Tribal
This trend was very prevalent in furniture, furnishings ,
artworks and accessories , none more so than Craft Enterprises, specialising in
horn and skull accessories and tribal textiles.
Flooring also caught
on to this trend with Armadillo launching their new Latitude Collection of rugs
and runners inspired by travel and exotic cultures. Their new range sees three
distinct designs made with Argentinian wool in bold colourways.
Armadillo’s representative indicated that this was an
evolving homeware trend with people no longer afraid to add colour in their
furnishings, but core neutrals in wool and hemp were still popular.
3. Opulence
Oversized furniture and extravagant use of mirrors and
mirrored furniture was seen at several stands, particularly with a monochrome
/ dark palette.
Natural materials in timber and rattan also appeared en
masse with detailing and craftsmanship more in evidence.
We loved the outdoor wall art from Zarzie which is treated
for UV and can withstand the Australian elements. Images range from outdoor
scenes, nature and food and come both singularly and in triptych format.
Removeable wallpapers and decals are a great idea for rental properties and
come in many design categories, city landscapes , childrens , timber grain and
nature finishes and also can be customised from your own digital photographs.
PVA and BPA free the
manufacturer indicates that the prints are fully moveable and reusable and can
also be wiped clean with a damp cloth. The prints are applied to any clean flat
surface so can also be applied to furniture such as fridges or mirrors.
