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 />

home decor.<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 />

crafted from organic cotton, linen, or recycled materials. These choices not<br />

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

prints and patterns. Vibrant florals, geometric designs, and abstract motifs are<br />

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

of the decor.<br />

Tımeless sheer elegance<br />

Sheer curtains retain their timeless appeal in <strong>2024</strong> due to their delicate and elegant<br />

blue, and mint green are in on trend, adding a touch of romance and sophistication<br />

while allowing natural light to filter through.<br />

The return of layered look<br />

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

and style. Combining sheer panels with heavier drapes not only enhances<br />

light control and insulation but also creates a luxurious, multi-dimensional window<br />

treatment exuding opulence.<br />

Glamorous metallıc accents<br />

metallic accents are a must-have. Whether through subtle metallic threads woven<br />

into the fabric or shimmering metallic prints, these curtains catch the light,<br />

creating a dazzling effect perfect for a chic and contemporary ambiance.<br />

Personalısed expressıon<br />

In the era of individuality, custom-made curtains are gaining traction. Homeowners<br />

are seizing the opportunity to personalise their window treatments with<br />

unique trims, tassels, or embroidery, allowing them to express their personal<br />

style and create one-of-a-kind curtain designs.<br />

Whether your style leans towards modern, eclectic, or classic, Spring <strong>2024</strong> offers<br />

a curtain trend for everyone. With options ranging from sustainable fabrics to<br />

bold prints and personalised details, finding the perfect curtains to complement<br />

your home decor and make a stylish statement has never been easier. Let Sue<br />

Cardy give your windows the attention they deserve and embrace one of these<br />

popular curtain trends to elevate your living spaces this year.

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 />

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 />

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 />

71<br />

<strong>Furnishing</strong> <strong>Fabric</strong> <strong>Fashion</strong>


72<br />

<strong>Furnishing</strong> <strong>Fabric</strong> <strong>Fashion</strong><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 />
