2015 TRENDS TREND:

discovered marrying craft and couture, combining earthiness with luxurious qualities - a style that is both soothing and feels special, it satisfies a deep need for comfort and glamor. Above all, it is a trend that encourages us to live life in the moment, at a natural pace, making time to appreciate both rawness and refinement. A sense of softness is crucial – cocooning qualities and enveloping features that welcome and protect us. Craftsmanship is a key consideration as traditional craft techniques are explored in order to produce modern outcomes.

The discreet use of both archive designs and patterns inspired by nature, in quiet neutrals, pastels and metallics, make this a trend full of amicable contradictions and a subtle sense of splendor.

Textures and materials plead to be stroked and gazed upon admiringly: Silvered & finely crackled finishes reveal colored layers beneath the surface; Copper & bronze effect tiles introduce rich metallics, whilst light gold leaf effects appear crushed & flaking; Tightly curled or crimped long haired furs and wools result in luxurious rugs whilst soft laser cut felting adds a contemporary look; Deep, dense cut pile carpets deliver reassuring comfort; Pearlized finishes add a pleasing sheen to tiles; Chalky matte finishes are favoured; Blonde wood tones dominate – their PALE BEAUTY grounds this trend.

TREND: dispatched a visual battle that forces opposing qualities together it is at once glamorous and brutal, tough and inviting, rugged and lavish.

It projects a mood of mystery and revelation. The quest into the past for creative inspiration continues as Designer’s fascination with historical styles shows no signs of diminishing. Darkness and light do battle, as femininity confronts masculinity new design unions are formed, and both delicacy and overstatement are embraced. Medieval influences meet Elizabethan and Baroque design, and through a potent mix of dusk darks (from pitch black and midnight blue to claret), dusted-off antiqued pastels, and armor-like heroic metallics we explore this trend’s captivating style.

Textures and materials create clashes of sumptuous softness, strong rigidity, opulent ornamentation, and stark plainness: Deep cut pile rugs are bejewelled with sparkling crystals; Blackened steel-look and warm metallic surfaces appear uneven and tarnished – presenting a pleasing patina; Elaborately shaped tiles referencing Medieval motif, architectural features and octagonal forms, enable unusual configurations to be created; Crackled glazes add surface interest to plain colored tiles; Carpet and rugs are embellished with stylized scrollwork, dense floral patterns and marbleized patterns in graduated tones; Faux quilted & chainmail textures and lace patterns are deeply embossed onto tiles; Dark tones of wood flooring proudly display NATURAL IMPERFECTIONS, signs of wear and aging.

Trends Presented by:

2015 TRENDS TREND: LifeEdited TAKE A FOCUSED LOOK AT THE FUTURE smart, flexible & compact lifestyles of urban citizens. Highly adaptive, connected and reductive in approach, it explores a transeasonal style that is both strict and seriously sophisticated. An exotic glamor with provocative and tribal undertones is revealed, which forge a relationship with a slick ultramodern aesthetic. Deeply luxurious yet purportedly edited down to essentials, it presents a mix of beautifully worked natural materials, 3D printed products and touches of industrial grit, which sit alongside precisely engineered hi-tech innovations.

Textures and materials express a decidedly deluxe style: Wood flooring in dark espresso tones dominates, although blonde wood tones with a soft sheen also make an appearance; Geometric wooden mosaics focus on exotic grains; Brass & copper introduce a warm metallic shimmer; Cow hide rugs take on a new glamorous role with the addition of foiled metallic accents; Black marble adds an opulent edge & deep shine; Orderly diamond & triangle patterns offer a modern take on tribal motif; Animal & reptile skin patterns in black & neutral shades add primal beauty; Bamboo enjoys a renaissance; Basket weave textures & faceted square pyramid repeats add interest to ceramic tiles; Houndstooth & herringbone are etched, embossed, woven & printed; Leather rugs are plaited, laser cut & woven; Carpets look decadent in dark shades...THINK BLACK, OXBLOOD & INDIGO.

TREND: displaced ADDRESSING THE DESIRE TO SIMPLIFY OUR fast-paced, technology dependant modern lives. It advocates the creation of visually quiet, soothing spaces that provide an escape from the chaos of the outside world. It is a style which delivers a sense of clarity, order and control, to counteract the feelings of disorder and lack of control many people experience due to information overload. This trend’s style creates a new type of sanctuary, a New Minimalism – subdued rather than stark; edited down rather than stripped bare; Wellbeing focused rather than solely style focused. A shift towards greater simplicity results in room schemes in which to relax and reflect, with a calming sense of restraint and a serene atmosphere of unadorned stillness where shades of white abound.

Textures and materials appear robust and solid, displaying strong contrasts between smooth, beautifully engineered materials and raw industrial textures: Carrara marble comes in many forms to dominate this trend – faceted geometries, oversized tiles and hexagons; Laser cut stone results in sleek undulating tile surfaces; Whispered shades of grey granite include flecks of silvered metallics; Gritty concrete boasts its imperfections – pitting, scratches and streaks; Gray toned wood flooring adds warmth; Super smooth Corian® introduces flawless finishes; Latticework patterns adorn tiles and rugs; Grayed off shades of hazy greens and indigo blue add grounding touches of color via GLASS & CERAMIC TILES.
