Fabric Trends for 2020…it’s all in the COLOR
THAT FABRIC FASHION CURVE…
As we celebrate the start of a new decade, gorgeous new fabric trends are beginning to emerge. The design teams and industry leaders of decorative fabrics houses predict that sunny yellows, purple hues, mixed textures and classical designs will take the industry by storm in 2020 and I have to agree!
Doesn’t yellow make you smile? I love it with white walls, so clean and classic.
So Sunny You Need Shades
Spots of yellow warm up the décor in any space, adding a touch of liveliness and sunshine. With a trendy palette of hues ranging from ochre and burnish to lemon and canary, these eye-catching shades have typically been seen as an accent or pop colors — but now they are taking center stage in designs. Vivid, warm tones instantly brighten a space with a hint of playful happiness. And because yellows pair beautifully with a wide variety of shades, in 2020 we can expect to see yellows not only being used with aegean teals and cerulean or watery blues, but with all colors to make a bold statement.
The simplest of top treatments drive the color style for the entire room. That’s how strong purple/violet is.
Passionate About Purple
With hues ranging from rich, dramatic jewel tones to soft, livable lilac, purple has been a color on the rise — and it will continue to thrive in 2020. Want to add a pop of color to a neutral dominant space without overwhelming the design aesthetic? Purple is your answer. The various tones have an overall grounding effect, while bringing irresistible vibrancy and life into an interior. Purple pairs well with all neutrals and adds a touch of calming sophistication to any colorful space.
Again, it’s all in the fabric!
It’s All in the Mix
Interiors are once again becoming a direct reflection of those who live in them, rather than just being sleek and architectural. Rooms are warmer, more livable and more comfortable — mixing natural elements like wood and leather with plush textures, wools and faux fur. Think of it as the tactile backlash that counteracts cold modern spaces and the sleek technology we deal with on a daily basis. Personal touches and embellishment are becoming focal points in these eclectic spaces.
Many of you know I do not follow TRENDS. But I do follow the “fashion curve”. If you are contemplaitng updating your home, consider this; Would you go out to buy a dress or man’s shirt in an old style? It is likely you wouldn’t find it. And do you really want to buy something that is dated? Probably not! And so to the point, it is true for your home as well. Update with fabrics that are being offered today, it will last for several years. And 7 years is said to be the life of a “home fashion curve”!
