Fashion trends have a significant impact on interior design, with trends moving quickly from the runway to home decor. Bridget Chirigos, principal and lead designer of Chirigos Designs, highlights five timeless trends that have substantial staying power in interiors. These trends include:
- Mixing of Eras: Incorporating vintage and antiques in a modern way is a trend that is here to stay. Baby boomers are inheriting their parents’ furniture, while younger generations are nostalgic for past eras, leading to a blend of old and new in interior design.
- Soft Blue: Soft pastel blues, as seen in a spring collection by Givenchy, are easily adapted into home decor. Blue is a versatile and calming color that pairs well with neutrals and warmer tones.
- Florals: Floral patterns, consistent in fashion trends, are being used in interior design to add personality and pops of color to spaces. When used on upholstery, wallpaper, and draperies, floral patterns offer a touch of the ’80s while remaining current.
- Warm Tones: Warm tones such as natural woods, creams, tans, and browns are taking center stage in interior design, replacing the cooler shades of white and gray. These tones add warmth and richness to modern design styles.
- Color Experimentation: Designers and homeowners are embracing experimentation with color, bringing in complimentary colors and jewel tones to add vibrancy to their spaces. People are becoming more open to incorporating a myriad of colors in their designs.
These trends reflect a shift towards blending old and new, incorporating soft and calming colors, adding personality with florals, embracing warmth in design, and experimenting with bold colors. By incorporating these timeless trends, clients can ensure that their interior designs remain current and elegant for years to come.
