One more step towards 

Sustainable Textile: Plant Based 

Hakan YILSELI Phd Student

Fabrics 

F 

From nature to nature! Innovative textiles, derived 

from natural plant sources, are revolutionizing the 

upholstery industry with their eco-friendly properties 

and inherent beauty. Fashion is developing itself 

for our nature. With an increasing emphasis on 

sustainability, the textile industry is taking another 

significant step forward with the introduction of 

plant-based fabrics. These innovative textiles, derived 

from natural plant sources, represent a harmonious 

blend of nature and technology, offering a 

host of eco-friendly benefits while showcasing the 

inherent beauty. 

Upholstery is undergoing a transformative shift 

as these plant-based fabrics gain traction in the 

market. Manufacturers and designers alike are 

embracing these contents for their sustainable 

properties, recognizing the importance of reducing 

environmental impact. 

From bamboo and hemp to pineapple leaf fibers, a 

diverse array of plant sources is being harnessed to 

create textiles that are not only biodegradable but 

also renewable and resource-efficient. This transition 

towards plant-based fabrics signifies a broader 

commitment within the fashion industry to minimize 

reliance on conventional, resource-intensive 

materials and embrace more environmentally 

friendly alternatives. 

As consumers become increasingly conscious of 

the environmental footprint of their purchasing 

decisions, the demand for plant-based fabrics is 

expected to grow. Beyond their eco-friendly credentials, 

these textiles also offer superior breathability, 

moisture-wicking properties, and durability, 

making them a compelling choice for both fashion 

and interior design applications. 

In essence, the rise of plant-based fabrics marks 

a pivotal moment in the evolution of sustainable 

textiles, as the industry strives to align with the 

principles of conservation and regeneration. By 

harnessing the power of nature, fashion is not just 

adapting to our environment but actively contributing 

to its preservation and flourishing.

Weavers 

water 

free 

fabrics 

AAt the heart of this initiative lies a pioneering production technique that 

eliminates the need for water, a precious resource often overexploited in 

traditional textile manufacturing processes. By leveraging technologies 

and innovative methodologies, Weavers has devised a method wherein 

water consumption is drastically minimized throughout the fabric 

production cycle. This approach not only reduces the strain on water 

resources but also diminishes the environmental impact associated with 

water-intensive manufacturing practices. 

The implications of Weavers’ “Water Free Fabrics” extend far beyond 

mere conservation efforts; they signify a paradigm shift towards more 

sustainable and eco-conscious practices within the textile industry. By 

prioritizing resource efficiency and environmental responsibility, Weavers 

sets a new standard for sustainability that resonates across the 

global market. 

Weavers’ commitment to sustainability goes beyond mere production 

techniques. The company actively engages in sourcing eco-friendly 

materials, ensuring that every aspect of their fabric manufacturing 

process aligns with their overarching sustainability goals. From responsibly 

sourced fibers to energy-efficient manufacturing facilities, Weavers 

integrates sustainability into every facet of their operations, setting a

precedent for responsible corporate practices. As consumer demand for 

eco-friendly products continues to rise, Weavers’ “Water Free Fabrics” 

position the company at the core of sustainable innovation within the 

textile industry. By taking priority sustainability, Weavers paves the way 

for a more environmentally conscious future. 

In essence, Weavers’ launch of “Water Free Fabrics” represents not only 

a milestone in textile manufacturing but also a signal of hope for a more 

sustainable tomorrow. Through innovation, dedication, and a steadfast 

commitment to environmental stewardship, Weavers sets a precedent 

for responsible business practices that inspire change on a global scale.

Vellteks not only produces 

fabrics, but also decorates 

dreams... 

Upholstery fabrics are 

the most important 

element that 

complements interior 

designs and even 

carries the designs to 

a completely different 

dimension. Many details 

such as the quality 

of the fabric used in 

interior design, colour, 

glossy or matt, the size 

of the patterns directly 

affect the perception of 

upholstered furniture. 

A 

An official of Vellteks describes the magic of their brand as: “With 

our fabrics, we can make the seating groups look more durable and 

aesthetically pleasing, while at the same time giving them a comfortable 

appearance. This year, we embrace the cheerful, bold and 

energetic tones of the color trends of the two decades after the 70s. 

In addition to the courage to use shades of white and its prominent 

naturalness, we try to include the energy of red, the dynamism of 

blue and the peaceful calmness of green in the fabrics. 

We believe that Vellteks fabrics will turn into works of art when they 

meet the right designs in the hands of people whose imagination 

knows no limits.”

5 Mix & Match 

Fabric Looks For 

Your Home in 2024 

If you have been to any middleeastern 

city, you will see how 

beautifully and aesthetically they 

mix and match patterns. The 

vibrant colours, intricate and 

basic patterns have so much to 

say. It is a mélange of geometric 

designs and detailed arabesques. 

The latest Disney movie, Aladdin, 

starring Will Smith, is something 

that comes to my mind in terms 

of lavish design which mixed 

patterns, bright colours and 

various shades of history. Inspired 

not only from the middle-east but 

also vintage designs from Europe 

and it is very tastefully done.

19 


Patterns give a personality to anything. Patterned fabrics used for making 

cushion covers, rugs, sofas, footwear, tops, bags or patterns on jewellery, on the 

façade of buildings, breathes in a new vibe to the surface they are added on. 

Have you tried mixing patterns at home, in your living room, or your bedroom or 

even your kitchen and bathrooms? Homemakers or even 

interior designs often shy from mixing patterns in aesthetics as it is a bold move 

and requires a sense of courage and visualisation to implement it. 

If you are a big fan of upholstered furniture and fabric accessories in your home, 

then you can experiment and go beyond just solids and neutrals and spread the 

vibrant charm of patterns and textures. However more than just visual appeal, it 

is a lot about strategy too to make it look cohesive and comfortable. Sometimes, 

if not rightly paired, it can look loud or haphazard. 

Here is your mixing guide – five fabric pattern combinations that go well on 

upholstery. While these points only focus on fabrics, when combining patterns, 

give a thought to your walls and tiles and any other wooden furniture. Patterns 

look good by complimenting them with neutrals and solids. 

• Plaids with Stripes 

Plaids and stripes are basic patterns and come in a wide variety of colours and 

sizes. A busy plaid with pinstripes is a good combination. Be careful while choosing 

the colours of both. Remember one has to vibe well the other and not break 

the harmony. 

• Bold geometric dobby designs with Prints 

Weaving large dobby designs on fabrics makes it look extravagant and it makes 

an interesting pair with small and colourful prints. Ensure that you do not mix 

busy geometric designs with large prints as it will look too cluttered. Again here, 

the tones need to match well. A bold geometric woven rug with a solid sofa and 

printed throw cushions give a chic and urban vibe.

20 


• Herringbone with Floral Prints 

A neutral shade herringbone woven fabric with floral prints can make the setting 

very warm and homely. It is pleasing for the eyes and florals never go out of 

fashion. The floral prints can be inspired from history and architecture. Herringbone 

designs go well with plaids and stripes too. If you are not too sure of a 

herringbone, try out smaller surface accessories or pouffes or ottomans. 

• Diamond Repeats with Bold Stripes 

Stripes actually can be paired with anything and everything. It is one of the most 

versatile patterns. Make horizontal or vertical, it finds a space easily. Any dobby 

design in repeat diamonds can be a cool pair for bold stripes. Choose black, grey, 

dark repeats with a combination of black and neutral bold stripes. These can go 

well for bedroom upholstery too. 

• Gingham with Complex Patterns 

Very small gingham checks can seamlessly merge with complex patterns for 

some high level experimentation and abstract feel. The complex patterns may or 

may not be part of your fabric upholstery. It could be your accent wall or frames 

on the walls. Gingham will complement it well. Gingham with Complex Patterns 

Hope this guide helps you choose your fabric upholstery with a lot more courage 

and less doubt. We are sure your interior designer or your creative side can add 

much more to this guide and help you choose best. 

But don’t get too excited mixing and matching everything, particularly in a living 

room which hosts your guests, relatives, late night movies or conversations over 

tea/coffee and cookies with your near and dear ones. Patterns, whether on fabrics 

or on floor tiles or walls, need to be used in the right combination, colour, 

shape, and size. It is a daunting task but trust us, it is creatively quite rewarding.

22 


Welcoming the spring 

AAs we welcome the approaching Spring, it’s the ideal time to rejuvenate our 

living spaces, and what better way to achieve a fresh look than by updating your 

curtains and blinds for 2024? Curtains serve not only a functional purpose by 

providing privacy and controlling light but also play a pivotal role in enhancing 

the overall aesthetic appeal of any space. Let’s explore some of the trending 

curtain and blind updates for Spring 2024 that will undoubtedly elevate your 

home decor. 

Embracıng sustaınabılıty 

With an increasing emphasis on sustainability, eco-friendly curtain fabrics are 

gaining widespread popularity. Homeowners are now leaning towards curtains 

crafted from organic cotton, linen, or recycled materials. These choices not 

only contribute to environmental well-being but also introduce a natural and 

textured look that infuses warmth into any room. 

Vıbrant prınts and patterns 

Bid farewell to plain, neutral curtains as 2024 brings a surge in demand for bold 

prints and patterns. Vibrant florals, geometric designs, and abstract motifs are 

taking centre stage, instantly transforming a room and becoming the focal point 

of the decor. 

Tımeless sheer elegance 

Sheer curtains retain their timeless appeal in 2024 due to their delicate and elegant 

nature. This year, sheer curtains in soft pastel hues like blush pink, serene

23 


blue, and mint green are in on trend, adding a touch of romance and sophistication 

while allowing natural light to filter through. 

The return of layered look 

The layered curtain trend is making a comeback in 2024, offering both practicality 

and style. Combining sheer panels with heavier drapes not only enhances 

light control and insulation but also creates a luxurious, multi-dimensional window 

treatment exuding opulence. 

Glamorous metallıc accents 

For those seeking to infuse a touch of glamour into their interiors, curtains with 

metallic accents are a must-have. Whether through subtle metallic threads woven 

into the fabric or shimmering metallic prints, these curtains catch the light, 

creating a dazzling effect perfect for a chic and contemporary ambiance. 

Personalısed expressıon 

In the era of individuality, custom-made curtains are gaining traction. Homeowners 

are seizing the opportunity to personalise their window treatments with 

unique trims, tassels, or embroidery, allowing them to express their personal 

style and create one-of-a-kind curtain designs. 

Whether your style leans towards modern, eclectic, or classic, Spring 2024 offers 

a curtain trend for everyone. With options ranging from sustainable fabrics to 

bold prints and personalised details, finding the perfect curtains to complement 

your home decor and make a stylish statement has never been easier. Let Sue 

Cardy give your windows the attention they deserve and embrace one of these 

popular curtain trends to elevate your living spaces this year.

It’s all about the fabric! 

COR is focusing on 

diverse upholstery 

fabrics in 2024 

German seating furniture 

manufacturer COR’s 

existing collection has been 

supplemented with new 

upholstery fabrics and leather. 

And that’s not all. There are also 

two new upholstered tables. 

TThe COR collection is being expanded in 2024 to include a variety of interesting 

upholstery materials, from flat-woven woollen fabrics and voluminous blended 

fabrics with interesting surface textures to coarse grain natural leather. The 

colour palette ranges from classic and calm natural tones such as sand or ecru 

to bold statement colours such as indigo, terracotta and rust red. 

Fabrics that feel pleasant to the touch play a decisive role in upholstered furniture. 

But what about the everyday furniture items to be found in the same 

living spaces? Tables, for example, are generally made of wood or metal. COR is 

breaking with home furnishing conventions by transferring its upholstery expertise 

to two new table products: the Echo side table (design: Lukas Heintschel) 

and the Ipa dining table (design: kräling_lübke). 

ECHO – a minimalist side table 

Futuristic-looking side table Echo is the product of COR’s first collaboration with 

up-and-coming designer Lukas Heintschel. It boasts a cylindrical base and a 

circular table top that is optionally available in undercoated glass or PARSOL®, 

a tinted float glass with a reflective finish. The softly upholstered base, covered 

in fabric or leather, opens upwards like a flower. Another special feature of this 

furniture item is the table top, which is framed with a distinctive fabric border 

and very easily twists off the base for cleaning or repair work. A choice of 

upholstery materials expands the scope for interior design. It defines the impact 

of the side table, which can either form a harmonious unit with the seating 

furniture or provide an exciting contrast to it.

27 


28 


“My intention was to transfer COR’s strengths in upholstery 

craftsmanship to a table,” explained the young Munich designer. 

“I used upwardly curving lines to achieve a sense of 

lightness and tranquillity,” he continued. 

The combination of three different table sizes in various 

heights is an elegant architectural feature that creates new 

living space topographies. Reflecting COR’s DNA, Echo has an 

intrinsically organic design.

Whether they are intensely colourful or subtly 

elegant, textiles play a key role in both interior 

design and furniture design. In particular, voluminous 

woven fabrics and velvety leather in earthy 

tones create the antithesis to our digital outside 

world by introducing comfort, security and 

well-being into our living spaces. Cooler wood, 

glass or stone surfaces, such as those featured in 

the current Echo and Ipa tables, create a harmonious 

contrast to the soft upholstery materials 

and the clever mix of colours and materials helps 

to create living environments that appeal to all 

the senses. 

29 


IPA is the epitome of a homely dining table 

COR has continued its cooperation with the Hamburg design team kräling_lübke, 

resulting in the Ipa dining table with the surprising feature of lightly padded and 

upholstered elliptic sides. The fabrics used for the upholstered features forge 

a very natural link with the materiality of the chairs and the rectangular table 

top contrasts beautifully with the softer lines of the sides, while at the same 

time reflecting them in its rounded corners. Ipa is an accomplished addition to 

the COR portfolio with an archetypal design that gives the dining table an air of 

homeliness.

Textile trends: 

5 fabrics 

home textile 

trends in 2024

33 


AAs we approach the New Year, we begin to ask ourselves which interior design 

trends will stand out next season, which fabrics, colours and patterns will play 

a leading role when it comes to decorating houses in a stlylish way. That’s why 

Vilarrasa will tell you all about the fabrics and upholstery which will be most 

popular in 2024. 

Comfort and Softness 

The leading trend is to be found in fabrics which convey a feeling of comfort. A 

couple of seasons ago bouclé burst upon the decorating scene to become one 

of the most sought-after options, not just for upholstering sofas, chairs and 

armchairs, but also for blending into other accessories such as throws, cushions, 

rugs.

34 


Increase in Demand for Sustainable 

Fiber 

The use of sustainable fibers helps reduce the environmental 

footprint of clothing and textiles, as they 

are often grown and processed with fewer chemicals 

and pesticides. Additionally, many sustainable fibers 

have a low impact on water and energy resources, 

making them an attractive option for consumers looking 

to live a more sustainable lifestyle. 

Colours inspired by Nature 

In 2024, we’ll carry on opting for the palette inspired 

by the richness and serenity of nature. From beige and 

brown tones evoking the warmly welcoming earth, to 

deep greens and serene blues transporting us to lush 

natural landscapes, and terracottas bringing to mind the 

heat of the sun and the warmth of clay. 

Neutral shades, a timeless option 

Whether it be warm sandy shades or the soft hue of greys, 

neutral colours are the best option for those who are looking 

for a subtle palette which will be long 

lasting. A perfect choice 

for cre-

35 


ating 

environments which will convey calm and 

serenity and which will also be easy for you to mix and match 

with the rest of the décor, as they work with a wide range of 

styles and will suit any season of the year. 

On-trend patterns 

Everything seems to indicate that in 2024 plant and floral patterns 

will feature strongly in many of the textile collections. The colourways 

for Heimtextil Trends 24/25 have been inspired by natural colours deriving 

from avocado seeds, algae, living bacteria and antique pigments.

38 


Inspiring 

fabric 

trends of 

spring 2024 

As Spring 2024 approaches, it’s time to 

take a look at the new trends emerging 

in the world of textiles. This spring 

brings a variety of colors, materials, and 

styles that encourage personality and 

creativity in interior design.

39 


40

t 

The color palette brings the freshness of 

spring to the interior. The peachy hue of 

“Peach Fuzz” offers a gentle warmth to a 

space, while soft and natural tones emphasize 

durability and authenticity in interior 

decor. Bold use of colors and interesting 

combinations are currently on-trend. 

Graphic patterns bring a modern look to the 

interior and create intriguing edges. 


Bold combinations of different 

surfaces and textures 

In terms of materials, soft bouclé continues 

trending. In addition to valuing softness, 

natural materials are also highly popular. 

Contrasts bring interest to interior design, 

and bold combinations of different surfaces 

and textures are a great way to creating multidimensional 

and personalized spaces. 

The cornerstones of style trends are personality 

and coziness. Textiles play a significant 

role in creating ambiance, and different 

patterns and colors can add a personal touch 

to a space. Combining rich patterns and 

textures with minimalist furniture takes the 

furniture’s appearance to a whole new level, 

and it’s definitely worth trying out boldly! 

We showcased several examples of this in 

our booth during the Stockholm Furniture 

Fair, which received very positive feedback 

and inspired people to enjoy color, shape, 

and patterns in new ways. 

Overall, the textile trends for Spring 2024 

offer plenty of opportunities for interior 

decoration. Whether your style is classic, 

modern, or bohemian, you’ll surely find 

inspiration and ideas from these trends for 

decorating your own home. Remember, interior 

design is a fun and creative play so let 

your imagination soar and make your home 

exactly as you want it to be!

The Evolution of 

Bouclé 

An on-trend texture of elegance 

A few years ago, bouclé re-emerged and became the next new trend in contemporary 

interiors. French for ‘curl or ‘loop’, bouclé has been around for a long 

time and was popular in the 1950s. Up until the recent craze, it was considered 

a predominantly “retro” fabric. But like most previous trends — including velvet 

— bouclé came back in style and is now seen in modern spaces worldwide. 

Most popular in ivory and cream, bouclé is typically applied to furniture with 

curved shapes, including armchairs, sofas, ottomans and asymmetrical bed 

headboards. We find that rounded furniture really enhances the chic aesthetic 

of its texture — creating soft, luxurious pieces. 

No longer a “fast-fad trend”, bouclé is currently the textile of the moment and 

is here to stay. Most commonly made from wool or cotton for a warm and cosy 

feel, we see this sumptuous fleece-like fabric continuing to evolve with patterns,

45 


colours and varying textures — from fine, to 

chunkier appearances. 

To keep up with the latest trends, our Design 

team annually travel across the globe to places 

such as London, New York and Milan where 

fashion is ever changing. During their international 

travels, they saw bouclé saturating the 

market ¬— it was a luxury, statement piece and 

in demand. 

Create a statement wıth patterns 

Abundantly elegant on its own, bouclé can also be styled with other patterns 

and finishes to create a look that is rich in texture. From stripes and checks, to 

florals and geometrics, this fabric will effortlessly pair with any pattern and bring 

a sense of sophistication wherever it is featured. 

To truly elevate a look, styling velvet with bouclé will bring a whole new level of 

luxury and opulence. We find irregular, organic patterns such as mineral, marble 

and woodgrain complement and enhance bouclé’s soft, woolly texture, along 

with gold or brass accents, glass finishes and neutral ceramic pieces. 

Although it’s mostly used as a plain, bouclé is beginning to evolve more, moving 

into statement patterns. Lately, we’ve seen classic, timeless patterns such as a 

simple check or houndstooth made from bouclé, bringing a modern twist on this 

traditionally plain neutral fabric. 

You can see this style in our latest collection ‘Mario’ — a new bouclé fabric with 

a striking houndstooth pattern for added dimension. 

Playful, neutral colours 

While white, ivory and cream have been most used and seen in this trend, 

bouclé is expanding its neutral palette and embracing earthy tones. The use 

of multi-coloured yarns creates an overall melange effect, bringing depth and 

enhancing the high-low texture of the fabric. 

Earthy shades of green, taupe, ochre and copper are the new direction for 

bouclé colours, which bring a natural and inviting feel with its tone and texture 

combined. Navy blue and onyx are also great neutral additions for a calming 

aesthetic. 

Sophıstıcated texture 

Not only is it comfortable, this soft, gorgeous texture has become more exorbitant 

and is incredibly lavish. With its heavenly plush finish, the curly construction 

of bouclé fabric gives an overall organic, woolly aesthetic, making this an ideal 

fabric for creating warm, cosy, cocooning spaces. 

From dreamy sofas, luxe ottomans and sumptuous cushions, bouclé is undeniably 

elegant in its nature and appearance. If you’re wanting to incorporate this 

alluring texture into your space, we offer two bouclé ranges, Fabio and Ovis, that 

are bound to bring sophistication and will sit beautifully in an array of spaces.

48 


Trinacria, the new 

Ardecora collection 

The passion and presence of 

Sicily – contemporary, exquisite, 

and beautiful to the touch – that is 

TRINACRIA, the new ARDECORA 

collection.

49 


TTRINACRIA – Sicily’s ancient moniker is now also the 

enchanting title of a collection that is dedicated to 

the Mediterranean island’s bygone history. 

In particular the south-east, surrounding the cities 

of Noto, Ragusa and Modica, with its baroque culture, 

architecture, and design, as well as its mystical 

ocean light, along the salt roads of the Marsala 

region, shape the identity of the new ARDECORA 

designs. 

Sulptural facades, wrought iron balconies and 

impressive plazas, rich in ornamentation, charm, 

and dramatic beauty, were the perfect inspiration 

for a collection brimming with handcraftsmanship, 

intense materiality and sensory textures, encapsulating 

today’s zeitgeist.

50 


As if straight out of a picture book, VILLA PALAGONIA takes us on a 

jaunt through a picturesque Sicilian still life. The poetic, expansive 

design, printed on a silk warp with cotton weft, showcases artfully 

stylized hand-painted pilea, fauna, and architecture of genuine 

palazzi.

51 


The elegant silk velour of PALAZZO GANGI beguiles in 14 con-temporary colorways. 

Its special luster provides every room with a shining play of light and 

shadow, exuding the creative aura of Sicilian baroque. Digitally printed and 

finished with hand-painted brushstrokes, DONNAFUGATA displays an arabesque 

motive on stylishly natural linen from Italy in a modern interpretation. 

Soft and warming, in a mélange of prized alpaca and high-quality New Zealand 

wool, the so-phisticated natural fiber ERICE is a genuine haptic experience, 

available in three organic colorways.

54 


Duck Fabric: 

Elegance and Durability 

in Home Textiles with 

Water and Stain 

Repellent Properties

A collection 

based on intuition 

C 

Craftmanship and intuition form a common thread in 

De Ploeg’s new curtain and furniture fabric collection. 

Designed with a love for tranquillity, simplicity 

and timeless luxury, the collection is characterised 

by flowing fabrics with refined texture and natural 

drape. Carefully considered colour tones create 

warmth and authenticity. In a world in which 

everything seems fleeting, taking time for reflection 

and contemplation is more important than ever. That 

is why we embrace the beauty of natural materials, 

such as soft linens and warm wools. 

Concious choice 

When designing and developing a collection, we 

focus on fabrics with a timeless quality and a long 

lifespan. We are convinced that this is one of the 

answers to the ever-growing desire for a more conscious 

lifestyle. We are also increasingly using more 

sustainable materials, including recycled polyester; 

a raw material that is extremely suitable for reuse 

and whose quality and lifespan are not affected by 

recycling. A conscious choice for any interior.

scious lifestyle. We are also increasingly using more sustainable 

materials, including recycled polyester; a raw material that is 

extremely suitable for reuse and whose quality and lifespan are 

not affected by recycling. A conscious choice for any interior. 

Timeless colour palettes 

Neutral colours create a balanced basis for an interior. Timeless 

shades inspired by pure materials such as wool, wood and 

flax form a solid foundation for the collection. We believe that 

developing timeless colour palettes is inevitable in the quest for 

sustainability. With nature as an inexhaustible source of inspiration, 

we have created soothing greens and soft sandy tones. But 

warm, comfortable shades of clay, earth and ochre also pay an 

important role in the collection. These are complimented with 

lively shades like coral red, deep yellow and grass green. Colours 

that bring your interior to life. 

Hand-drawn florals 

The collection is enriched with the patterned fabrics Yuba, Hebe 

and Sage. A series of spontaneous floral designs with a naive 

quality. Designed with a slight nod to Weaving mill De Ploeg’s 

history of fabric printing. Dynamic, flowing designs with a 

Scandinavian undertone. The shapes seem to be painted directly 

onto the textile, simplified but still recognisable. This creates a 

playful dialogue between the weave texture and the print. With 

cheerful, bold colours, these fabrics are the eye-catchers of the 

collection.

Dutch trend forecaster Milou Ket looks at the interior design from a 

wider perspective as always and comments on the future trends by blending all 

related 

FFamous 

issues for fascinating and comforting spaces. Ket inspires young design 

talents by her impressive ideas and interpretations. 

INTRODUCTION 

In these times of turmoil that are defined by uncertainty, disruption in the supply 

chain, war, inflation, climate-, and energy crisis, we have a strong need for 

consolation, wellbeing, and color. 

Our interest in color is evident and has grown. Artificial Intelligence is important 

and will gain more importance. Many companies are taking their responsibility 

as to sustainability issues, many alternative materials are available, derived from 

natural waste. Or they recycle. We need to make more conscious choices in 

production, consuming and our way of life. In the interior, shapes have become 

rounder and curvier, we see ridges and ribs. Texture and imperfections, tactility, 

warmer and earthy colors are important. Sometimes primitive influences in 

shapes and materials are applied. Organic ideas are opposed to artificiality and 

technology. Colors should be mixed among the themes. Acoustic solutions are 

important. 

1. WARM AND GROUNDED 

The first theme is called “Warm and Grounded”. It is a timeless direction, with a 

need for comfort and wellbeing. As foreseen, color has become much more important. 

In this theme we will see in the future more colors that are influenced

OMBRÉ EFFECTS 2.2

by nature in warm earthy colors. The shapes are voluminous, round and friendly. 

The design is simple, functional, fluid, organic, quiet without superfluous details. 

A lot of attention is given to sustainability and longevity, especially for materials 

and for production methods. Alternative natural 

materials are used, such as fungi and leather made of fruit waste, seaweed, 

corn, banana, recycled pet bottles, paper, coffee grind, etc. etc. But also, hard 

materials such as marble and travertine. The materials are quite heavy textured, 

we see bouclé and tweed, but also cuddly materials such as mohair, fake fur and 

wool. Textiles are important to convey this need for softness. We see high/low 

effects through tufting, loops, and fringes. Carpets, in unexpected shapes, are 

used also on the walls. Wallpaper and murals in color blocking and rounded abstract 

shapes are important. Furniture should be versatile. Artificial intelligence 

has become an important factor in visualization of the interiors. 3-D printed 

decorative objects play a role. Silver colored objects make a comeback. 

2. REFLECTIONS AND TRANSPARENCY 

The second theme is called “Reflections and Transparency”. It is a modern, innovative 

direction, with phantasy and surreal effects. Sometimes it looks artificial. 

The materials that are used, contribute to that. They are often man-made, such 

as glass, Perspex, polyester resin and plastic. Also recycled polyester is applied. 

Transparency, special gradient effects and shifts of color give a modern touch 

to the interior. It is often associated with light effects, sometimes with an acid 

or neon color touch to convey a specific effect. In the prints we see for instance 

water color effects and clouds, but also at random spots and stains and marble 

effects. Often the patterns are playful and whimsical, curtains are often transparent 

and executed in gradients. As part of the unreal-like atmosphere, we see 

more and more renderings with artificial intelligence. It is sometimes difficult 

to distinguish fake from real. Also, gradients, iridescence, and the play with 

transparent layers are important. In the architecture we see arches, circles and 

rounded shapes. We see ridges and serrated shapes. Geometry, stripes, stylized 

patterns, and hand painted patterns are applied on fabrics and carpets. Murals 

are popular. Acoustic products play an important role and are also used as room 

divider and are made of recycled pet felt. We will see a lot of 3-D printed objects 

such as vases etc. There is interest in vegetable dyes.

3. CROSSOVER CREATIVITY 

In this styling direction “Crossover Creativity” we notice that the attention for 

hand crafted products has grown. One-of-a-kind products, preferably with imperfections, 

wabi sabi, are valued and add character and personality to an interior. 

It also tells the story of the resident. Traditional techniques are appreciated 

such as ikat, shibori, tie & dye, kilims etc. We see new interpretations of these 

century-old techniques, for instance in unexpected combinations or different 

applications. Natural materials are in demand, such as wood, cork and bamboo, 

raffia, rattan, terra cotta, linen, hemp etc. We love the irregularities that show in 

the application of the materials, the unevenness and unpredictability, caused by 

chance. The expressions of different cultures with their local materials, skills and 

knowledge are blended into a highly personal interior, with a bohemian character. 

Especially the handwork from Morocco and in general from Africa shows 

in carpets, textiles, wicker work and ceramics to name a few. As in other styling 

directions textures are appreciated here too. Handmade cushions show embroideries, 

fringes, tassels and are hand tufted. Products from recycled materials or 

other conscious sources, will gain importance. We see sometimes archaic and 

primitive shapes. We also see tribal products such as masks.

75 


76 


4. COLOR CLASH 

This style direction “Color Clash” is about bright, clear, acid colors, that are often 

applied in a single product, especially small furniture, accessories, and outdoor 

products. They are often too bright and overwhelming to apply in an interior, 

although they may be used in wallcoverings as an eyecatcher. But they are mainly 

used for decorative accessories that stand out, such as carpets or textile wall 

hangings, vases, a single piece of furniture etc. 

They look nice in multicolor effects. We see influences from Modern Art, Bauhaus, 

but also, more playful and whimsical art movements such as Memphis. 

We see ridges, serrated edges and bubbles. Color blocking is important. The 

emphasis is on man-made materials such as glass, Perspex, acrylic, polyester 

resin and plastic. Graphic effects, sometimes in black and white, are important, 

such as stripes, checkerboards, enlarged pixels, facets and geometric patterns. 

All kinds of light effects play a role, we see lenticular materials, and application 

and integration of adaptable colored Led’s. In the architecture we will see, also 

in this style direction, more rounded shapes, such as arches or circles. Renderings 

with Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence will become more and 

more important. Small furniture such as side tables and stools are important to 

adapt to different situations in a versatile interior. Many graphical prints can be 

combined.

5. WONDERS OF NATURE 

In the styling direction “Wonders of Nature” we see how issues such as care 

for the environment, sustainability, conscious consuming, and the concern for 

climate change are the drivers behind this theme. We are trying to diminish our 

ecological footprint by using alternative materials such as fungi, corn, banana 

leaf, bamboo, cardboard, vegan leather and using food waste such as coffee 

grind. Renewable natural materials such as linen, hemp, raffia, rattan, wood 

and recycling are a must. Flora and fauna are depicted in wallcoverings, posters, 

cushions, and other decorative products. We see plants, foliage, insects, birds, 

butterflies, or products with a nostalgic association. We see a glorification of 

wild nature sometimes from the past, with exotic trees and plants, 

plantations with palm trees, exotic birds and flowers, tigers, monkey’s, jaguars, 

but also creatures of the sea. Murals show more romantic images of historical 

Mediterranean landscapes with pine trees. We enjoy the soothing and calming 

effects of the color green, also for paint. Botanical prints are popular, with 

pictures from natural history books. Murals are very important. Carpets and 

textile wall hangings take on unexpected shapes. Textures with tufting, high/ low 

reliefs are important. Green colors are often combined with dusty pink and terra 

shades. Tiles will be applied in interiors too. 

6. ECLECTIC TREASURES 

In this last direction “Eclectic Treasures” the inspiration comes from opulence, 

luxury, glamour, nostalgia and history. Sometimes history with a humorous twist. 

Also, Bohemian influences play a role. Gold, and other shiny metallics such as 

copper in small touches or thin lines, play a role. Use ocher from other themes 

for this. The curiosity cabinet continues to play an important role. We see ideas 

from Natural History books, science, botanical prints, collections, and discoveries 

from the animal kingdom and nature, stuffed animals, rare precious stones, 

glass domes, corals, and shells, fragments of classic statues from the Greek 

and Roman era. Animals are depicted as humans. There also can be a modern 

approach with bright light effects against a dark background, iridescence, aurora 

borealis and oil spots effects. Mid-Century furniture is important, especially in 

velvet with a golden or copper accent, and fringes for a dramatic effect. Leather 

and welded materials are applied. Dark, rich colors as paint give a moody 

atmosphere. Precious stones such as marble, travertine, and tiger eye are 

popular: real, as veneer or as imitation. Acoustic properties remain important. 

Embroideries, velvets, jacquards, and traditional motifs play a role in fabrics. 

We see rhythm, irregular lines and zigzag patterns come forward in the contrast 

between black and white. Brown and grey work well together.

2024 curtain trends 

for your home 

U 

Updating the look and feel of a room doesn’t have to be expensive—curtains 

and drapery can change a room’s aesthetic by introducing a new color, texture 

or pattern. This month, show your windows some love by trying out one of 

these popular curtain trends in 2024! 

Take a minimalist approach with your curtains 

Embrace the understated elegance of simple patterns and clean lines. This trend 

aligns perfectly with modern interiors, creating a sleek and streamlined aesthetic. 

Designers are recommending scaling back intricate designs or adornments for 

your living room curtains. Instead of selecting curtains with lace, ruffles or pompoms, 

try the sleeker look of a simple curtain panel. Elegance can be found in

87 


simplicity; your curtains should remain understated so as not to detract from the 

structure of your windows or the abundance of natural light they provide. 

Explore classic and natural colors with your curtains 

In line with a more minimalist approach to drapery, 2024 curtains are trending 

towards cleaner, earthier colors. Rather than multicolored or patterned curtains, 

select drapes in neutral colors like cream, white or slate gray. You may also wish 

to go even more natural with olive, forest green or deep blue. Such colors can 

add warmth and coziness to a room while acting as a subtle backdrop to striking 

furniture or decor items. 

Adopt eco-friendly materials 

With growing emphasis on sustainability, curtains made from organic fabrics 

and recycled materials are gaining popularity. This trend is not just good for the 

environment but also adds a touch of natural elegance to your decor. 

Curtains have historically been made from polyester and other unsustainably 

sourced fibers and may contain harmful dyes. Keep your home and the world 

beyond healthy with sustainable fabrics like organic linen, cotton and hemp, and 

avoid curtains with wrinkle-free finishes that may contain harmful chemicals. 

Try a romantic, French-inspired aesthetic 

Interested in a home design that leans toward the romantic? Introduce gauzy, 

Provence-style drapes into your living and bedrooms. Their simple designs and 

clean, natural color palettes are on trend; their French-inspired shape and flow 

make them a classical, timeless element in any room. 

Embrace Blinds as an Alternative 

Blinds can be both stylish and practical, especially in rooms that may frequently 

collect dust, debris, or smells, like kitchens and bathrooms. Blinds can be custom 

fit for your window shape and are less likely to require cleaning or ironing to 

maintain their structure and appeal. Moreover, blinds come in a range of materials 

that can be seamlessly matched to the existing design of your living spaces; 

explore eclectic options like bamboo or wood, or go for the classic, clean linen.

describes the ancient cord wrapping technique very well. Zeybek Pano, which is 

one of the most special fabrics of the Heritage Collection, where this technique, 

which dates back to the 1800s, is adapted to the present day with modern 

weaving techniques and brought closer to its original appearance. Zeybek Pano, 

which captures the original primrose appearance with the linen yarn used on 

the fabric ground, is worth seeing with its splendor. 

Ödemiş 

Ödemiş, where a selection of hand embroidery motifs frequently used in the 

textiles of the Aegean Region such as oilcloths, circles, pesky cloths, handkerchiefs,

placed in a vase with its magnificent pattern.

Reflect spring with 

upholstery fabrics 

Q 

Whether it’s a quiet welcome or 

a cheerful meeting. The way to 

reflect the vitality and energy of 

spring to life is hidden in fabrics! 

Bringing the world-famous curtain, 

upholstery and wallpaper brands 

to you, Arpeart also increases your 

options in the field of upholstery. 

Quality and aesthetics meet with good service in Arpeart, which includes 

the upholstery products of Sanderson, Scion, Gardisette, Chivasso and 

Dolce Vita brands. 

Flowers 

Reflecting the freshness of spring, flowers open our hearts with their 

colorful appearance. Sanderson’s flower-scented collections, where you 

can spread this freshness to every corner of the house, almost bring 

nature into your life. While the brand’s Shalimar model leaves a striking 

effect with its strong color transitions, alternatives in soft tones add the 

freshness of spring to living spaces with a naive attitude. 

Spring branches 

Is it just flowers that reflect spring? Of course not! Leaves and budding 

branches are before us as heralds of spring. We recommend you take a 

look at the models that will bring the refreshing effect of spring to your

living space by Scion. Akira model from the Japandi 

collection, which consists of colorful leaves that can be 

used as both drapery and upholstery, is our favorite. You 

will also love the natural linen texture and watercolor 

effect leaf patterns. 

Pastel tones 

If you have a point of view towards simplicity, you can 

bring the heartiness of spring into your living space with 

pastel tones. Jab group brand Chivasso has a wide range 

of natural fabrics in pastel tones.
