DESIGN TRENDS

The coming year promises to bring some exciting changes and innovations in the field of design. Whether it is graphic design, interior design, or product design, the trends for this year will reflect the shifting preferences and expectations of consumers, as well as the advances in technology that enable more immersive and interactive experiences.

Here are some of the major design trends that we can expect to see in the new year: The color trend that will dominate the year is the use of bold and vibrant shades of pink and red, inspired

by the cultural influence of Barbie and the optimism for a brighter future.

These colors will add a sense of playfulness, glamour, and drama to any space, and will contrast well with darker and more sophisticated hues. According to a color marketing source, shades in the red and terracotta families will also see a resurgence this year.

Another interior design trend we will see, is the use of long, sculptural elements that create a focal point and add a touch of elegance to any room.

These design elements can be made of various materials, such as metal, glass, wood, or ceramic, and can have different shapes and forms, from organic curves to geometric angles.

They can also be used to create different lighting effects, such as ambient, task, or accent lighting.

Design trends will also be influenced by the consumer preference for clean and minimalistic design that is easy to understand and navigate. The advances in technology provide more experience for people, their expectations are raised, and they want brands to follow the latest innovations in their designs.

The key change is clean and minimalistic design that focuses on the essential elements and eliminates any unnecessary clutter or distraction.

This design trend will also use simple colors, fonts, and shapes that create a sense of harmony and balance.

“... from organic curves to geometric angles.”

Light, colors and texture: Interior design trends will also entail the use of light, colors and texture to create different moods and atmospheres in any space.

Light is one of the most important elements of interior design, as it can affect the perception of space, size, shape, and color. Colors are another powerful tool that can influence the mood and emotion of any room. They can be used to create contrast, harmony, or accentuate certain features.

Texture is another element that can add interest and depth to any space. Texture can be achieved by using different materials, fabrics, patterns or finishes that create a tactile or visual sensation
