Blinds & Shutters - Issue 1/2024

As we begin 2024 there is some hope that the economy may be turning round. Interest rates look set to fall and we may have just about avoided recession. Will this mean that households will have more to spend on their homes? Let’s hope so. In the next few months the biggest show for the blinds and shutters industry is taking place in Germany. R+T promises to be a great place to see new products and trends for the industry, plus a chance to catch up with colleagues and buyers. It is well worth the hop over to the EU to see what is going on. Good luck and best wishes in 2024, I hope you have a successful year!

year.”<br />

Barry Silverman, vice president of<br />

marketing and branding at Ultrafabrics, says:<br />

“We achieved so much success with our<br />

brand partnership last year, inspiring<br />

specifiers and designers in every market we<br />

serve. This coming year, while celebrating<br />

both the brands’ mutual milestones, we will<br />

continue to explore the intersection of<br />

color, culture, and emerging technology that<br />

will engage our audience.”<br />

“The Pantone Color of the Year <strong>2024</strong> in<br />

its essence fosters community and<br />

collaboration. We are excited to continue<br />

our work with industry leader Ultrafabrics<br />

to explore the application of the Pantone<br />

Color of the Year <strong>2024</strong> in the interior design<br />

world and beyond,” says Elley Cheng, Vice<br />

President and General Manager of<br />

Pantone.”<br />

Ultrafabrics will deepen its collaboration<br />

throughout <strong>2024</strong> with ‘The Nest’, a series of<br />

global, interactive events. Sharing their<br />

expertise on how the Pantone Color of the<br />

Year can be implemented in almost any type<br />

of space, this offering will also include<br />

exclusive palettes incorporating a Pantone<br />

Color of the Year inspired shade that can be<br />

custom-developed across the Ultrafabrics’<br />

collection range. Together, the brands will<br />

inspire designers with new ways to<br />

approach and utilize any color in their work.<br />

Ultrafabrics’ 25th year of business<br />

promises to be a peachy year indeed.<br />
