One more step towards<br />
Sustainable Textile: Plant Based<br />
Hakan YILSELI Phd Student<br />

<strong>Fabric</strong>s<br />
F<br />
From nature to nature! Innovative textiles, derived<br />
from natural plant sources, are revolutionizing the<br />
upholstery industry with their eco-friendly properties<br />
and inherent beauty. <strong>Fashion</strong> is developing itself<br />
for our nature. With an increasing emphasis on<br />
sustainability, the textile industry is taking another<br />
significant step forward with the introduction of<br />
plant-based fabrics. These innovative textiles, derived<br />
from natural plant sources, represent a harmonious<br />
blend of nature and technology, offering a<br />
host of eco-friendly benefits while showcasing the<br />
inherent beauty.<br />
Upholstery is undergoing a transformative shift<br />
as these plant-based fabrics gain traction in the<br />
market. Manufacturers and designers alike are<br />
embracing these contents for their sustainable<br />
properties, recognizing the importance of reducing<br />
environmental impact.<br />
From bamboo and hemp to pineapple leaf fibers, a<br />
diverse array of plant sources is being harnessed to<br />
create textiles that are not only biodegradable but<br />
also renewable and resource-efficient. This transition<br />
towards plant-based fabrics signifies a broader<br />
commitment within the fashion industry to minimize<br />
reliance on conventional, resource-intensive<br />
materials and embrace more environmentally<br />
friendly alternatives.<br />
As consumers become increasingly conscious of<br />
the environmental footprint of their purchasing<br />
decisions, the demand for plant-based fabrics is<br />
expected to grow. Beyond their eco-friendly credentials,<br />
these textiles also offer superior breathability,<br />
moisture-wicking properties, and durability,<br />
making them a compelling choice for both fashion<br />
and interior design applications.<br />
In essence, the rise of plant-based fabrics marks<br />
a pivotal moment in the evolution of sustainable<br />
textiles, as the industry strives to align with the<br />
principles of conservation and regeneration. By<br />
harnessing the power of nature, fashion is not just<br />
adapting to our environment but actively contributing<br />
to its preservation and flourishing.

Weavers<br />
water<br />
free<br />
fabrics<br />
AAt the heart of this initiative lies a pioneering production technique that<br />
eliminates the need for water, a precious resource often overexploited in<br />
traditional textile manufacturing processes. By leveraging technologies<br />
and innovative methodologies, Weavers has devised a method wherein<br />
water consumption is drastically minimized throughout the fabric<br />
production cycle. This approach not only reduces the strain on water<br />
resources but also diminishes the environmental impact associated with<br />
water-intensive manufacturing practices.<br />
The implications of Weavers’ “Water Free <strong>Fabric</strong>s” extend far beyond<br />
mere conservation efforts; they signify a paradigm shift towards more<br />
sustainable and eco-conscious practices within the textile industry. By<br />
prioritizing resource efficiency and environmental responsibility, Weavers<br />
sets a new standard for sustainability that resonates across the<br />
global market.<br />
Weavers’ commitment to sustainability goes beyond mere production<br />
techniques. The company actively engages in sourcing eco-friendly<br />
materials, ensuring that every aspect of their fabric manufacturing<br />
process aligns with their overarching sustainability goals. From responsibly<br />
sourced fibers to energy-efficient manufacturing facilities, Weavers<br />
integrates sustainability into every facet of their operations, setting a
precedent for responsible corporate practices. As consumer demand for<br />
eco-friendly products continues to rise, Weavers’ “Water Free <strong>Fabric</strong>s”<br />
position the company at the core of sustainable innovation within the<br />
textile industry. By taking priority sustainability, Weavers paves the way<br />
for a more environmentally conscious future.<br />
In essence, Weavers’ launch of “Water Free <strong>Fabric</strong>s” represents not only<br />
a milestone in textile manufacturing but also a signal of hope for a more<br />
sustainable tomorrow. Through innovation, dedication, and a steadfast<br />
commitment to environmental stewardship, Weavers sets a precedent<br />
for responsible business practices that inspire change on a global scale.<br />

Vellteks not only produces<br />
fabrics, but also decorates<br />
dreams...<br />
Upholstery fabrics are<br />
the most important<br />
element that<br />
complements interior<br />
designs and even<br />
carries the designs to<br />
a completely different<br />
dimension. Many details<br />
such as the quality<br />
of the fabric used in<br />
interior design, colour,<br />
glossy or matt, the size<br />
of the patterns directly<br />
affect the perception of<br />
upholstered furniture.<br />
A<br />
An official of Vellteks describes the magic of their brand as: “With<br />
our fabrics, we can make the seating groups look more durable and<br />
aesthetically pleasing, while at the same time giving them a comfortable<br />
appearance. This year, we embrace the cheerful, bold and<br />
energetic tones of the color trends of the two decades after the 70s.<br />
In addition to the courage to use shades of white and its prominent<br />
naturalness, we try to include the energy of red, the dynamism of<br />
blue and the peaceful calmness of green in the fabrics.<br />
We believe that Vellteks fabrics will turn into works of art when they<br />
meet the right designs in the hands of people whose imagination<br />
knows no limits.”

5 Mix & Match<br />
<strong>Fabric</strong> Looks For<br />
Your Home in <strong>2024</strong><br />
If you have been to any middleeastern<br />
city, you will see how<br />
beautifully and aesthetically they<br />
mix and match patterns. The<br />
vibrant colours, intricate and<br />
basic patterns have so much to<br />
say. It is a mélange of geometric<br />
designs and detailed arabesques.<br />
The latest Disney movie, Aladdin,<br />
starring Will Smith, is something<br />
that comes to my mind in terms<br />
of lavish design which mixed<br />
patterns, bright colours and<br />
various shades of history. Inspired<br />
not only from the middle-east but<br />
also vintage designs from Europe<br />
and it is very tastefully done.
19<br />
<strong>Furnishing</strong> <strong>Fabric</strong> <strong>Fashion</strong><br />
Patterns give a personality to anything. Patterned fabrics used for making<br />
cushion covers, rugs, sofas, footwear, tops, bags or patterns on jewellery, on the<br />
façade of buildings, breathes in a new vibe to the surface they are added on.<br />
Have you tried mixing patterns at home, in your living room, or your bedroom or<br />
even your kitchen and bathrooms? Homemakers or even<br />
interior designs often shy from mixing patterns in aesthetics as it is a bold move<br />
and requires a sense of courage and visualisation to implement it.<br />
If you are a big fan of upholstered furniture and fabric accessories in your home,<br />
then you can experiment and go beyond just solids and neutrals and spread the<br />
vibrant charm of patterns and textures. However more than just visual appeal, it<br />
is a lot about strategy too to make it look cohesive and comfortable. Sometimes,<br />
if not rightly paired, it can look loud or haphazard.<br />
Here is your mixing guide – five fabric pattern combinations that go well on<br />
upholstery. While these points only focus on fabrics, when combining patterns,<br />
give a thought to your walls and tiles and any other wooden furniture. Patterns<br />
look good by complimenting them with neutrals and solids.<br />
• Plaids with Stripes<br />
Plaids and stripes are basic patterns and come in a wide variety of colours and<br />
sizes. A busy plaid with pinstripes is a good combination. Be careful while choosing<br />
the colours of both. Remember one has to vibe well the other and not break<br />
the harmony.<br />
• Bold geometric dobby designs with Prints<br />
Weaving large dobby designs on fabrics makes it look extravagant and it makes<br />
an interesting pair with small and colourful prints. Ensure that you do not mix<br />
busy geometric designs with large prints as it will look too cluttered. Again here,<br />
the tones need to match well. A bold geometric woven rug with a solid sofa and<br />
printed throw cushions give a chic and urban vibe.
20<br />
<strong>Furnishing</strong> <strong>Fabric</strong> <strong>Fashion</strong><br />
• Herringbone with Floral Prints<br />
A neutral shade herringbone woven fabric with floral prints can make the setting<br />
very warm and homely. It is pleasing for the eyes and florals never go out of<br />
fashion. The floral prints can be inspired from history and architecture. Herringbone<br />
designs go well with plaids and stripes too. If you are not too sure of a<br />
herringbone, try out smaller surface accessories or pouffes or ottomans.<br />
• Diamond Repeats with Bold Stripes<br />
Stripes actually can be paired with anything and everything. It is one of the most<br />
versatile patterns. Make horizontal or vertical, it finds a space easily. Any dobby<br />
design in repeat diamonds can be a cool pair for bold stripes. Choose black, grey,<br />
dark repeats with a combination of black and neutral bold stripes. These can go<br />
well for bedroom upholstery too.<br />
• Gingham with Complex Patterns<br />
Very small gingham checks can seamlessly merge with complex patterns for<br />
some high level experimentation and abstract feel. The complex patterns may or<br />
may not be part of your fabric upholstery. It could be your accent wall or frames<br />
on the walls. Gingham will complement it well. Gingham with Complex Patterns<br />
Hope this guide helps you choose your fabric upholstery with a lot more courage<br />
and less doubt. We are sure your interior designer or your creative side can add<br />
much more to this guide and help you choose best.<br />
But don’t get too excited mixing and matching everything, particularly in a living<br />
room which hosts your guests, relatives, late night movies or conversations over<br />
tea/coffee and cookies with your near and dear ones. Patterns, whether on fabrics<br />
or on floor tiles or walls, need to be used in the right combination, colour,<br />
shape, and size. It is a daunting task but trust us, it is creatively quite rewarding.

Welcoming the spring<br />
AAs we welcome the approaching Spring, it’s the ideal time to rejuvenate our<br />
living spaces, and what better way to achieve a fresh look than by updating your<br />
curtains and blinds for <strong>2024</strong>? Curtains serve not only a functional purpose by<br />
providing privacy and controlling light but also play a pivotal role in enhancing<br />
the overall aesthetic appeal of any space. Let’s explore some of the trending<br />
curtain and blind updates for Spring <strong>2024</strong> that will undoubtedly elevate your<br />

Embracıng sustaınabılıty<br />
With an increasing emphasis on sustainability, eco-friendly curtain fabrics are<br />
gaining widespread popularity. Homeowners are now leaning towards curtains<br />

textured look that infuses warmth into any room.<br />
Vıbrant prınts and patterns<br />
Bid farewell to plain, neutral curtains as <strong>2024</strong> brings a surge in demand for bold<br />

taking centre stage, instantly transforming a room and becoming the focal point<br />
of the decor.<br />

The return of layered look<br />
The layered curtain trend is making a comeback in <strong>2024</strong>, offering both practicality<br />

It’s all about the fabric!<br />
COR is focusing on<br />
diverse upholstery<br />
fabrics in <strong>2024</strong><br />
German seating furniture<br />
manufacturer COR’s<br />
existing collection has been<br />
supplemented with new<br />
upholstery fabrics and leather.<br />
And that’s not all. There are also<br />
two new upholstered tables.<br />
TThe COR collection is being expanded in <strong>2024</strong> to include a variety of interesting<br />
upholstery materials, from flat-woven woollen fabrics and voluminous blended<br />
fabrics with interesting surface textures to coarse grain natural leather. The<br />
colour palette ranges from classic and calm natural tones such as sand or ecru<br />
to bold statement colours such as indigo, terracotta and rust red.<br />
<strong>Fabric</strong>s that feel pleasant to the touch play a decisive role in upholstered furniture.<br />
But what about the everyday furniture items to be found in the same<br />
living spaces? Tables, for example, are generally made of wood or metal. COR is<br />
breaking with home furnishing conventions by transferring its upholstery expertise<br />
to two new table products: the Echo side table (design: Lukas Heintschel)<br />
and the Ipa dining table (design: kräling_lübke).<br />
ECHO – a minimalist side table<br />
Futuristic-looking side table Echo is the product of COR’s first collaboration with<br />
up-and-coming designer Lukas Heintschel. It boasts a cylindrical base and a<br />
circular table top that is optionally available in undercoated glass or PARSOL®,<br />
a tinted float glass with a reflective finish. The softly upholstered base, covered<br />
in fabric or leather, opens upwards like a flower. Another special feature of this<br />
furniture item is the table top, which is framed with a distinctive fabric border<br />
and very easily twists off the base for cleaning or repair work. A choice of<br />
upholstery materials expands the scope for interior design. It defines the impact<br />
of the side table, which can either form a harmonious unit with the seating<br />
furniture or provide an exciting contrast to it.

“My intention was to transfer COR’s strengths in upholstery<br />
craftsmanship to a table,” explained the young Munich designer.<br />
“I used upwardly curving lines to achieve a sense of<br />
lightness and tranquillity,” he continued.<br />
The combination of three different table sizes in various<br />
heights is an elegant architectural feature that creates new<br />
living space topographies. Reflecting COR’s DNA, Echo has an<br />
intrinsically organic design.
Whether they are intensely colourful or subtly<br />
elegant, textiles play a key role in both interior<br />
design and furniture design. In particular, voluminous<br />
woven fabrics and velvety leather in earthy<br />
tones create the antithesis to our digital outside<br />
world by introducing comfort, security and<br />
well-being into our living spaces. Cooler wood,<br />
glass or stone surfaces, such as those featured in<br />
the current Echo and Ipa tables, create a harmonious<br />
contrast to the soft upholstery materials<br />
and the clever mix of colours and materials helps<br />
to create living environments that appeal to all<br />
the senses.<br />
29<br />
<strong>Furnishing</strong> <strong>Fabric</strong> <strong>Fashion</strong><br />
IPA is the epitome of a homely dining table<br />
COR has continued its cooperation with the Hamburg design team kräling_lübke,<br />
resulting in the Ipa dining table with the surprising feature of lightly padded and<br />
upholstered elliptic sides. The fabrics used for the upholstered features forge<br />
a very natural link with the materiality of the chairs and the rectangular table<br />
top contrasts beautifully with the softer lines of the sides, while at the same<br />
time reflecting them in its rounded corners. Ipa is an accomplished addition to<br />
the COR portfolio with an archetypal design that gives the dining table an air of<br />
homeliness.

AAs we approach the New Year, we begin to ask ourselves which interior design<br />
trends will stand out next season, which fabrics, colours and patterns will play<br />
a leading role when it comes to decorating houses in a stlylish way. That’s why<br />
Vilarrasa will tell you all about the fabrics and upholstery which will be most<br />
popular in <strong>2024</strong>.<br />
Comfort and Softness<br />
The leading trend is to be found in fabrics which convey a feeling of comfort. A<br />
couple of seasons ago bouclé burst upon the decorating scene to become one<br />
of the most sought-after options, not just for upholstering sofas, chairs and<br />
armchairs, but also for blending into other accessories such as throws, cushions,<br />
rugs.

Increase in Demand for Sustainable<br />
Fiber<br />
The use of sustainable fibers helps reduce the environmental<br />
footprint of clothing and textiles, as they<br />
are often grown and processed with fewer chemicals<br />
and pesticides. Additionally, many sustainable fibers<br />
have a low impact on water and energy resources,<br />
making them an attractive option for consumers looking<br />
to live a more sustainable lifestyle.<br />
Colours inspired by Nature<br />
In <strong>2024</strong>, we’ll carry on opting for the palette inspired<br />
by the richness and serenity of nature. From beige and<br />
brown tones evoking the warmly welcoming earth, to<br />
deep greens and serene blues transporting us to lush<br />
natural landscapes, and terracottas bringing to mind the<br />
heat of the sun and the warmth of clay.<br />
Neutral shades, a timeless option<br />
Whether it be warm sandy shades or the soft hue of greys,<br />
neutral colours are the best option for those who are looking<br />
for a subtle palette which will be long<br />
lasting. A perfect choice<br />
for cre-

environments which will convey calm and<br />
serenity and which will also be easy for you to mix and match<br />
with the rest of the décor, as they work with a wide range of<br />
styles and will suit any season of the year.<br />
On-trend patterns<br />
Everything seems to indicate that in <strong>2024</strong> plant and floral patterns<br />
will feature strongly in many of the textile collections. The colourways<br />
for Heimtextil Trends 24/25 have been inspired by natural colours deriving<br />
from avocado seeds, algae, living bacteria and antique pigments.

The color palette brings the freshness of<br />
spring to the interior. The peachy hue of<br />
“Peach Fuzz” offers a gentle warmth to a<br />
space, while soft and natural tones emphasize<br />
durability and authenticity in interior<br />
decor. Bold use of colors and interesting<br />
combinations are currently on-trend.<br />
Graphic patterns bring a modern look to the<br />
interior and create intriguing edges.<br />
<strong>Furnishing</strong> <strong>Fabric</strong> <strong>Fashion</strong><br />
Bold combinations of different<br />
surfaces and textures<br />
In terms of materials, soft bouclé continues<br />
trending. In addition to valuing softness,<br />
natural materials are also highly popular.<br />
Contrasts bring interest to interior design,<br />
and bold combinations of different surfaces<br />
and textures are a great way to creating multidimensional<br />
and personalized spaces.<br />
The cornerstones of style trends are personality<br />
and coziness. Textiles play a significant<br />
role in creating ambiance, and different<br />
patterns and colors can add a personal touch<br />
to a space. Combining rich patterns and<br />
textures with minimalist furniture takes the<br />
furniture’s appearance to a whole new level,<br />
and it’s definitely worth trying out boldly!<br />
We showcased several examples of this in<br />
our booth during the Stockholm Furniture<br />
Fair, which received very positive feedback<br />
and inspired people to enjoy color, shape,<br />
and patterns in new ways.<br />
Overall, the textile trends for Spring <strong>2024</strong><br />
offer plenty of opportunities for interior<br />
decoration. Whether your style is classic,<br />

The Evolution of<br />
Bouclé<br />
An on-trend texture of elegance<br />
A few years ago, bouclé re-emerged and became the next new trend in contemporary<br />
interiors. French for ‘curl or ‘loop’, bouclé has been around for a long<br />
time and was popular in the 1950s. Up until the recent craze, it was considered<br />
a predominantly “retro” fabric. But like most previous trends — including velvet<br />
— bouclé came back in style and is now seen in modern spaces worldwide.<br />
Most popular in ivory and cream, bouclé is typically applied to furniture with<br />
curved shapes, including armchairs, sofas, ottomans and asymmetrical bed<br />
headboards. We find that rounded furniture really enhances the chic aesthetic<br />
of its texture — creating soft, luxurious pieces.<br />
No longer a “fast-fad trend”, bouclé is currently the textile of the moment and<br />
is here to stay. Most commonly made from wool or cotton for a warm and cosy<br />
feel, we see this sumptuous fleece-like fabric continuing to evolve with patterns,
45<br />
<strong>Furnishing</strong> <strong>Fabric</strong> <strong>Fashion</strong><br />
colours and varying textures — from fine, to<br />
chunkier appearances.<br />
To keep up with the latest trends, our Design<br />
team annually travel across the globe to places<br />
such as London, New York and Milan where<br />
fashion is ever changing. During their international<br />
travels, they saw bouclé saturating the<br />
market ¬— it was a luxury, statement piece and<br />
in demand.<br />
Create a statement wıth patterns<br />
Abundantly elegant on its own, bouclé can also be styled with other patterns<br />
and finishes to create a look that is rich in texture. From stripes and checks, to<br />
florals and geometrics, this fabric will effortlessly pair with any pattern and bring<br />
a sense of sophistication wherever it is featured.<br />
To truly elevate a look, styling velvet with bouclé will bring a whole new level of<br />
luxury and opulence. We find irregular, organic patterns such as mineral, marble<br />
and woodgrain complement and enhance bouclé’s soft, woolly texture, along<br />
with gold or brass accents, glass finishes and neutral ceramic pieces.<br />
Although it’s mostly used as a plain, bouclé is beginning to evolve more, moving<br />
into statement patterns. Lately, we’ve seen classic, timeless patterns such as a<br />
simple check or houndstooth made from bouclé, bringing a modern twist on this<br />
traditionally plain neutral fabric.<br />
You can see this style in our latest collection ‘Mario’ — a new bouclé fabric with<br />
a striking houndstooth pattern for added dimension.<br />
Playful, neutral colours<br />
While white, ivory and cream have been most used and seen in this trend,<br />
bouclé is expanding its neutral palette and embracing earthy tones. The use<br />
of multi-coloured yarns creates an overall melange effect, bringing depth and<br />
enhancing the high-low texture of the fabric.<br />
Earthy shades of green, taupe, ochre and copper are the new direction for<br />
bouclé colours, which bring a natural and inviting feel with its tone and texture<br />
combined. Navy blue and onyx are also great neutral additions for a calming<br />
aesthetic.<br />
Sophıstıcated texture<br />
Not only is it comfortable, this soft, gorgeous texture has become more exorbitant<br />
and is incredibly lavish. With its heavenly plush finish, the curly construction<br />
of bouclé fabric gives an overall organic, woolly aesthetic, making this an ideal<br />
fabric for creating warm, cosy, cocooning spaces.<br />
From dreamy sofas, luxe ottomans and sumptuous cushions, bouclé is undeniably<br />
elegant in its nature and appearance. If you’re wanting to incorporate this<br />
alluring texture into your space, we offer two bouclé ranges, Fabio and Ovis, that<br />
are bound to bring sophistication and will sit beautifully in an array of spaces.

A collection<br />
based on intuition<br />
C<br />
Craftmanship and intuition form a common thread in<br />
De Ploeg’s new curtain and furniture fabric collection.<br />
Designed with a love for tranquillity, simplicity<br />
and timeless luxury, the collection is characterised<br />
by flowing fabrics with refined texture and natural<br />
drape. Carefully considered colour tones create<br />
warmth and authenticity. In a world in which<br />
everything seems fleeting, taking time for reflection<br />
and contemplation is more important than ever. That<br />
is why we embrace the beauty of natural materials,<br />
such as soft linens and warm wools.<br />
Concious choice<br />
When designing and developing a collection, we<br />
focus on fabrics with a timeless quality and a long<br />
lifespan. We are convinced that this is one of the<br />
answers to the ever-growing desire for a more conscious<br />
lifestyle. We are also increasingly using more<br />
sustainable materials, including recycled polyester;<br />
a raw material that is extremely suitable for reuse<br />
and whose quality and lifespan are not affected by<br />
recycling. A conscious choice for any interior.<br />

scious lifestyle. We are also increasingly using more sustainable<br />
materials, including recycled polyester; a raw material that is<br />
extremely suitable for reuse and whose quality and lifespan are<br />
not affected by recycling. A conscious choice for any interior.<br />
Timeless colour palettes<br />
Neutral colours create a balanced basis for an interior. Timeless<br />
shades inspired by pure materials such as wool, wood and<br />
flax form a solid foundation for the collection. We believe that<br />
developing timeless colour palettes is inevitable in the quest for<br />
sustainability. With nature as an inexhaustible source of inspiration,<br />
we have created soothing greens and soft sandy tones. But<br />
warm, comfortable shades of clay, earth and ochre also pay an<br />
important role in the collection. These are complimented with<br />
lively shades like coral red, deep yellow and grass green. Colours<br />
that bring your interior to life.<br />
Hand-drawn florals<br />
The collection is enriched with the patterned fabrics Yuba, Hebe<br />
and Sage. A series of spontaneous floral designs with a naive<br />
quality. Designed with a slight nod to Weaving mill De Ploeg’s<br />
history of fabric printing. Dynamic, flowing designs with a<br />
Scandinavian undertone. The shapes seem to be painted directly<br />
onto the textile, simplified but still recognisable. This creates a<br />
playful dialogue between the weave texture and the print. With<br />
cheerful, bold colours, these fabrics are the eye-catchers of the<br />
collection.

Dutch trend forecaster Milou Ket looks at the interior design from a<br />
wider perspective as always and comments on the future trends by blending all<br />
related<br />
FFamous<br />
issues for fascinating and comforting spaces. Ket inspires young design<br />
talents by her impressive ideas and interpretations.<br />
INTRODUCTION<br />
In these times of turmoil that are defined by uncertainty, disruption in the supply<br />
chain, war, inflation, climate-, and energy crisis, we have a strong need for<br />
consolation, wellbeing, and color.<br />
Our interest in color is evident and has grown. Artificial Intelligence is important<br />
and will gain more importance. Many companies are taking their responsibility<br />
as to sustainability issues, many alternative materials are available, derived from<br />
natural waste. Or they recycle. We need to make more conscious choices in<br />
production, consuming and our way of life. In the interior, shapes have become<br />
rounder and curvier, we see ridges and ribs. Texture and imperfections, tactility,<br />
warmer and earthy colors are important. Sometimes primitive influences in<br />
shapes and materials are applied. Organic ideas are opposed to artificiality and<br />
technology. Colors should be mixed among the themes. Acoustic solutions are<br />
important.<br />
1. WARM AND GROUNDED<br />
The first theme is called “Warm and Grounded”. It is a timeless direction, with a<br />
need for comfort and wellbeing. As foreseen, color has become much more important.<br />
In this theme we will see in the future more colors that are influenced
OMBRÉ EFFECTS 2.2<br />

72<br />

by nature in warm earthy colors. The shapes are voluminous, round and friendly.<br />
The design is simple, functional, fluid, organic, quiet without superfluous details.<br />
A lot of attention is given to sustainability and longevity, especially for materials<br />
and for production methods. Alternative natural<br />
materials are used, such as fungi and leather made of fruit waste, seaweed,<br />
corn, banana, recycled pet bottles, paper, coffee grind, etc. etc. But also, hard<br />
materials such as marble and travertine. The materials are quite heavy textured,<br />
we see bouclé and tweed, but also cuddly materials such as mohair, fake fur and<br />
wool. Textiles are important to convey this need for softness. We see high/low<br />
effects through tufting, loops, and fringes. Carpets, in unexpected shapes, are<br />
used also on the walls. Wallpaper and murals in color blocking and rounded abstract<br />
shapes are important. Furniture should be versatile. Artificial intelligence<br />
has become an important factor in visualization of the interiors. 3-D printed<br />
decorative objects play a role. Silver colored objects make a comeback.<br />
2. REFLECTIONS AND TRANSPARENCY<br />
The second theme is called “Reflections and Transparency”. It is a modern, innovative<br />
direction, with phantasy and surreal effects. Sometimes it looks artificial.<br />
The materials that are used, contribute to that. They are often man-made, such<br />
as glass, Perspex, polyester resin and plastic. Also recycled polyester is applied.<br />
Transparency, special gradient effects and shifts of color give a modern touch<br />
to the interior. It is often associated with light effects, sometimes with an acid<br />
or neon color touch to convey a specific effect. In the prints we see for instance<br />
water color effects and clouds, but also at random spots and stains and marble<br />
effects. Often the patterns are playful and whimsical, curtains are often transparent<br />
and executed in gradients. As part of the unreal-like atmosphere, we see<br />
more and more renderings with artificial intelligence. It is sometimes difficult<br />
to distinguish fake from real. Also, gradients, iridescence, and the play with<br />
transparent layers are important. In the architecture we see arches, circles and<br />
rounded shapes. We see ridges and serrated shapes. Geometry, stripes, stylized<br />
patterns, and hand painted patterns are applied on fabrics and carpets. Murals<br />
are popular. Acoustic products play an important role and are also used as room<br />
divider and are made of recycled pet felt. We will see a lot of 3-D printed objects<br />
such as vases etc. There is interest in vegetable dyes.

3. CROSSOVER CREATIVITY<br />
In this styling direction “Crossover Creativity” we notice that the attention for<br />
hand crafted products has grown. One-of-a-kind products, preferably with imperfections,<br />
wabi sabi, are valued and add character and personality to an interior.<br />
It also tells the story of the resident. Traditional techniques are appreciated<br />
such as ikat, shibori, tie & dye, kilims etc. We see new interpretations of these<br />
century-old techniques, for instance in unexpected combinations or different<br />
applications. Natural materials are in demand, such as wood, cork and bamboo,<br />
raffia, rattan, terra cotta, linen, hemp etc. We love the irregularities that show in<br />
the application of the materials, the unevenness and unpredictability, caused by<br />
chance. The expressions of different cultures with their local materials, skills and<br />
knowledge are blended into a highly personal interior, with a bohemian character.<br />
Especially the handwork from Morocco and in general from Africa shows<br />
in carpets, textiles, wicker work and ceramics to name a few. As in other styling<br />
directions textures are appreciated here too. Handmade cushions show embroideries,<br />
fringes, tassels and are hand tufted. Products from recycled materials or<br />
other conscious sources, will gain importance. We see sometimes archaic and<br />
primitive shapes. We also see tribal products such as masks.

4. COLOR CLASH<br />
This style direction “Color Clash” is about bright, clear, acid colors, that are often<br />
applied in a single product, especially small furniture, accessories, and outdoor<br />
products. They are often too bright and overwhelming to apply in an interior,<br />
although they may be used in wallcoverings as an eyecatcher. But they are mainly<br />
used for decorative accessories that stand out, such as carpets or textile wall<br />
hangings, vases, a single piece of furniture etc.<br />
They look nice in multicolor effects. We see influences from Modern Art, Bauhaus,<br />
but also, more playful and whimsical art movements such as Memphis.<br />
We see ridges, serrated edges and bubbles. Color blocking is important. The<br />
emphasis is on man-made materials such as glass, Perspex, acrylic, polyester<br />
resin and plastic. Graphic effects, sometimes in black and white, are important,<br />
such as stripes, checkerboards, enlarged pixels, facets and geometric patterns.<br />
All kinds of light effects play a role, we see lenticular materials, and application<br />
and integration of adaptable colored Led’s. In the architecture we will see, also<br />
in this style direction, more rounded shapes, such as arches or circles. Renderings<br />
with Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence will become more and<br />
more important. Small furniture such as side tables and stools are important to<br />
adapt to different situations in a versatile interior. Many graphical prints can be<br />
combined.<br />

5. WONDERS OF NATURE<br />
In the styling direction “Wonders of Nature” we see how issues such as care<br />
for the environment, sustainability, conscious consuming, and the concern for<br />
climate change are the drivers behind this theme. We are trying to diminish our<br />
ecological footprint by using alternative materials such as fungi, corn, banana<br />
leaf, bamboo, cardboard, vegan leather and using food waste such as coffee<br />
grind. Renewable natural materials such as linen, hemp, raffia, rattan, wood<br />
and recycling are a must. Flora and fauna are depicted in wallcoverings, posters,<br />
cushions, and other decorative products. We see plants, foliage, insects, birds,<br />
butterflies, or products with a nostalgic association. We see a glorification of<br />
wild nature sometimes from the past, with exotic trees and plants,<br />
plantations with palm trees, exotic birds and flowers, tigers, monkey’s, jaguars,<br />
but also creatures of the sea. Murals show more romantic images of historical<br />
Mediterranean landscapes with pine trees. We enjoy the soothing and calming<br />
effects of the color green, also for paint. Botanical prints are popular, with<br />
pictures from natural history books. Murals are very important. Carpets and<br />
textile wall hangings take on unexpected shapes. Textures with tufting, high/ low<br />
reliefs are important. Green colors are often combined with dusty pink and terra<br />
shades. Tiles will be applied in interiors too.<br />
6. ECLECTIC TREASURES<br />
In this last direction “Eclectic Treasures” the inspiration comes from opulence,<br />
luxury, glamour, nostalgia and history. Sometimes history with a humorous twist.<br />
Also, Bohemian influences play a role. Gold, and other shiny metallics such as<br />
copper in small touches or thin lines, play a role. Use ocher from other themes<br />
for this. The curiosity cabinet continues to play an important role. We see ideas<br />
from Natural History books, science, botanical prints, collections, and discoveries<br />
from the animal kingdom and nature, stuffed animals, rare precious stones,<br />
glass domes, corals, and shells, fragments of classic statues from the Greek<br />
and Roman era. Animals are depicted as humans. There also can be a modern<br />
approach with bright light effects against a dark background, iridescence, aurora<br />
borealis and oil spots effects. Mid-Century furniture is important, especially in<br />
velvet with a golden or copper accent, and fringes for a dramatic effect. Leather<br />
and welded materials are applied. Dark, rich colors as paint give a moody<br />
atmosphere. Precious stones such as marble, travertine, and tiger eye are<br />
popular: real, as veneer or as imitation. Acoustic properties remain important.<br />
Embroideries, velvets, jacquards, and traditional motifs play a role in fabrics.<br />
We see rhythm, irregular lines and zigzag patterns come forward in the contrast<br />
between black and white. Brown and grey work well together.<br />

<strong>2024</strong> curtain trends<br />
for your home<br />
U<br />
Updating the look and feel of a room doesn’t have to be expensive—curtains<br />
and drapery can change a room’s aesthetic by introducing a new color, texture<br />
or pattern. This month, show your windows some love by trying out one of<br />
these popular curtain trends in <strong>2024</strong>!<br />
Take a minimalist approach with your curtains<br />
Embrace the understated elegance of simple patterns and clean lines. This trend<br />
aligns perfectly with modern interiors, creating a sleek and streamlined aesthetic.<br />
Designers are recommending scaling back intricate designs or adornments for<br />
your living room curtains. Instead of selecting curtains with lace, ruffles or pompoms,<br />
try the sleeker look of a simple curtain panel. Elegance can be found in
87<br />
<strong>Furnishing</strong> <strong>Fabric</strong> <strong>Fashion</strong><br />
simplicity; your curtains should remain understated so as not to detract from the<br />
structure of your windows or the abundance of natural light they provide.<br />
Explore classic and natural colors with your curtains<br />
In line with a more minimalist approach to drapery, <strong>2024</strong> curtains are trending<br />
towards cleaner, earthier colors. Rather than multicolored or patterned curtains,<br />
select drapes in neutral colors like cream, white or slate gray. You may also wish<br />
to go even more natural with olive, forest green or deep blue. Such colors can<br />
add warmth and coziness to a room while acting as a subtle backdrop to striking<br />
furniture or decor items.<br />
Adopt eco-friendly materials<br />
With growing emphasis on sustainability, curtains made from organic fabrics<br />
and recycled materials are gaining popularity. This trend is not just good for the<br />
environment but also adds a touch of natural elegance to your decor.<br />
Curtains have historically been made from polyester and other unsustainably<br />
sourced fibers and may contain harmful dyes. Keep your home and the world<br />
beyond healthy with sustainable fabrics like organic linen, cotton and hemp, and<br />
avoid curtains with wrinkle-free finishes that may contain harmful chemicals.<br />
Try a romantic, French-inspired aesthetic<br />
Interested in a home design that leans toward the romantic? Introduce gauzy,<br />
Provence-style drapes into your living and bedrooms. Their simple designs and<br />
clean, natural color palettes are on trend; their French-inspired shape and flow<br />
make them a classical, timeless element in any room.<br />
Embrace Blinds as an Alternative<br />
Blinds can be both stylish and practical, especially in rooms that may frequently<br />
collect dust, debris, or smells, like kitchens and bathrooms. Blinds can be custom<br />
fit for your window shape and are less likely to require cleaning or ironing to<br />
maintain their structure and appeal. Moreover, blinds come in a range of materials<br />
that can be seamlessly matched to the existing design of your living spaces;<br />
explore eclectic options like bamboo or wood, or go for the classic, clean linen.

branches are before us as heralds of spring. We recommend you take a<br />
look at the models that will bring the refreshing effect of spring to your
living space by Scion. Akira model from the Japandi<br />
