As the global pandemic continues to affect our daily lives, staying indoors more often seems to be the norm for some time to come. As a result, our design choices continue to help us prioritize our emotional and mental well-being. Our extra time at home
DESIGN TRENDS
drives our desire to create spaces which help reflect an intimate sense, feeling, or energy.
Creating designs that offer comfort, a sense of warmth, coziness, and airiness continues to be the norm. Bringing in nature, or natural elements, colors, and textures seems to dominate the trends this year. With décor and design choices stemming around having a purpose, our homes have become the main setting of where we work, socialize, play, and sleep in the current pandemic reality.
Following along the natural path, color palettes are showing to be going the route of earth-based hues, like browns, or terracotta tones. These colors call to strengthen our connection with nature, ( ...continued on 5 )

which tend to envelop our senses and feeling of coziness. Not only color palettes, but the materials chosen for our décor or furniture has also seen a resurgence towards the natural – this includes surfaces like marble, terracotta, stoneware, and travertine.
The organic nature of these materials adds a visual focal point, adding depth and ambiance to the space – this in turn helps us feel calmer, or lends itself to help us feel better about being inside much more often.
Looking at trends for furniture, vintage designs have shown to be preferable, especially with all of the supply chain issues we have been seeing lately. Repurposing unique pieces from thrift stores, refinished hand-me-down furniture, or even DIY items that use leftover scraps of materials can find a new spot in our spaces and provide for a piece that may have an original story behind it.

“... a resurgence towards the natural ...”
As a result of more people working from home we continue to look for ways to bring nature into our living and/ or working spaces. A good way to do this can simply be to remove window coverings, add more windows, or simply bringing in more greenery. This will also allow the use of interesting hand-made pots, stands, and hangers for plants. The extra sunlight provided by opening up the windows will help to keep the plants flourishing and healthy – even naked windows are ok.
When looking for ways to add a bit more character to your spaces, a bold light fixture, or a new piece of curvy or sculptured furniture could very well do the trick and become a focal point. Embracing curves in our design choices is the way to go for furniture or even built-ins like islands, walls, windows, entryways, etc..
Adding a bit of freshness into our lives helps alleviate any of the stress accumulated over the past few tough years. Natural silhouettes, rich materials like marbles and crystals, exotic flora, earthy elements like wood, stone or clay, and bold new motifs are the way to go to bring life to our spaces.

LET’S GET TRAVELING
After cancelled trips, postponed celebrations, and quarantined travel delays - travellers are now ready to start making up for lost time and get out there. Time to get them out of those sweat pants and put themselves first, ready for the travel experiences they deserve. Over the next year, an estimated 40% of U.S. based travelers are much more willing to treat themselves and spend more money on their next trip. From an indulgence in a
grand luxury experience, to checking off their bucket-list destinations, or opting for premium lodging and flights - its all about splurging on anything or all the things that can take your trip or travel plans from just mediocre to extravagant. A study revealed that travelers between the ages of 18 and 34 are more likely to go big, while those travelers in Gen-X are more likely to splurge on high-end dining experiences.
( ...continued on 11 ) 10 HARTFORD | CONNECTICUT | 2023
Going big does not simply mean taking a bucket-list trip and calling it a done deal. In the coming year, American travelers are pursuing their greatest-of-all-time trips by stepping outside comfort zones and immersing themselves in a chosen destination, culture, and/or experience that is completely different to their norm.
From having a go at foods never eaten or experienced before and experimenting
with exotic local delicacies, to attending authentic music venues, and seeking out off the beaten path excursions and destinations, U.S. travelers have a renewed curiosity to indulge and experience the world.
Travelers are not just craving new places or tastes, they are also yearning the feeling of excitement and exhilaration that are once again available to be sought after..
