The fabric trends show a wide variety of statements to fit your style. One thing consistent with all the trends this year is the color turquoise, showing up in watery blues to regal teals and everywhere in between. This comforting color appeals to modern and traditional decorating with its ability to adapt.
Another trend showing up in fabrics are ethnic prints, taking their inspirations from Native American art as well as tribal designs. Rich earth tones of browns, reds, golds, turquoise, and oranges are found in Ikat and batik-inspired patterns and paired with buttery leathers, wood beaded accents, and handsomely textured chenilles.
Fabrics are embracing a lot of glitz and glamour to give you a luxurious feel. Prints are embellished with gold or silver accents. Eco-fabrics are also coming on strong, and you can barely discern them from the non-eco counterparts. Hemp, cotton, linen, and recycled fibers are readily available and provide plenty of luxe to a room.
The use of “greige”, the new buzz word for the gray-beige color is found everywhere as well. This universally flattering color works just as well with lipstick reds as it does lime green or yellow. Expect to see this color trend used as a way to tone down intense colors to make them easier to live with. Greige will be combined with modern and traditional prints, as well as used in tonal color schemes.
