I have always found it fascinating to see how clothing fashion can influence interior design trends. I attend both Fashion Week and High Point, and I have been observing the correlation between the two worlds. There was once a 5 to 6 year lag from the runway to furniture showrooms, then a couple of years ago we were seeing just a 2 year or 2 season lag, and now both worlds are engaging as the creative minds are joining together with the social media forces.
It seems, according to many, that almost as soon as a collection hits the runway, reporters, photographers and bloggers are sharing these events with their readers and viewers. Through these images that are posted on blogs, websites and across our television screens to the consumer. So, where fashion was once a true driver of the world of interiors, the two are now working together.
A New Take On Traditional
Some of the most recent trends we are seeing are bold geometric patterns, and brightly hued upholstery blended with fine traditional pieces. Perhaps you will even find organic shapes and pieces incorporated as well.
The Bold and The Beautiful
We are embracing the classics with a fresh and more modern day approach. You may see a houndstooth pattern in a larger scale than usual, applied to a very traditional chair style; or perhaps a jacquard, yet in vibrant unexpected tones.
