Trends in Quilts

In terms of trends in home décor, quilts are quite
stable. Unlike other categories where the trends
change with season, there is something about
quilts where we feel the need for familiarity. Also,
usage of quilts or comforters has changed with
time for instance, quilts are also doubling up as
bedcovers and also as an accessory to
accentuate any bedroom setting. Quilts occupy
significant space in the bedroom and must be
comfortable and soothing to the bedroom colours.
Below, we have forecast upcoming trends in quilts
based on our visits to exhibitions, interactions with
designers and observations in the industry to keep
you abreast with what’s in and what’s out.

Minimum is the new maximum
The recent trend in home décor
has been one of abundance.
Heavy designs with attentiongrabbing
colors and patterns were
trending. We see a gradual but a
definite shift towards minimalism.
We foresee the industry to move
towards clean and solid looks.
There would be hints and patches
of work and design sprayed thinly,
but it will play second fiddle to the
clean look. Hence, out goes the
patchwork quilts and in come
solids with a dash of
contemporary patterns like pixels,
neons, and ombres.

Colors – Green & Ultraviolet
An entire industry is seeing the move
towards green. Home décor is
increasingly being influenced by
mother-nature and its colors. We
expect the trend to slip into quilts or
blankets as well. Green will dominate
the next few seasons in quilts.
Furthermore, ultraviolet, after being
declared the pantone color of the
year, should enter quilts as well.
Purple/Lavender and pink-purple
solid quilts will be something we can
vouch on and will look super pretty
too.

Hand techniques
Hand techniques never go out of
fashion and will continue to trend.
With the focus on being
environment-friendly and
sustainable sourcing, the artisans
will adapt to organic sourcing with
handmade methods. Block
printing will continue to be stocked
in coming years but with a change
in colours and designs. We can
definitely see embroidery making
a comeback in quilts as well. Solid
quilts with embroidery in vibrant
colors (like ultraviolet) is a
spectacular combination.

Concept
We see concepts entering
all categories of home décor
and expect the same in
quilts as well. Concept
patterns are the pictorial
representation of an idea or
a story, abstract or definitive.
We have seen concept
patterns being rock solid in
rugs and see the same in
quilts as well.

Cat quilts
We were amazed to see the
plethora of upcoming patters
in cat quilts. The feline trend
have truly arrived in the quilts
industry and creating havoc.
Cat designs look super cute in
quilts and have been adapted
in various ways. Think of
multiple fluffy cats or vector
cat designs spread across a
comforter. We expect the cat
comforters to do well and
hope to see interesting cat
patterns over the next year.

Thank You!
