INNOVATION is the key to open the door to your new and updated 2010 home. The upcoming trends for interior furnishing will see much ‘modernisation’ being applied to capture the best of yesteryear’s designs and put it into a modern perspective within the contemporary home. This year, expect a remake of ageless styles, reinterpretation of elegance and stylish revamps of all-time popular palettes.
PATTERN REVOLUTION
Goodrich Global
Patterns. In a world where monochromes persist to exude contemporariness, they still subsist extinction. Why? For some reason, patterns have their own ways of sneaking into our visual palates that continuously seek excitement. While the highlight of the pattern trend still revolves around Art Deco inspired motifs and Art Nouveau themes, there is a trendy twist to them. You can certainly anticipate a parade of botanicals, paisley, brocade, elegant animal prints, stripes and geometric patterns; but all with a touch of contemporary chic. What’s important here is good taste and good design sense, especially when it comes to mixing and matching a rainbow of prints and colours. After all, too much of a good thing can prove otherwise.
CLASSICAL REINTERPRETATION Furniture that lasts a lifetime becomes a style heirloom after a few decades. This is the key point to classic interiors - we want to maintain the ageless impression, but definitely without a ‘decayed’ look. Thankfully, this trend insists the reinterpretation of classic furniture to fit into contemporary lifestyles - and it seems to come with a sure win formula. First and foremost the stuffiness of traditional classic themes must be subtracted. Then, delicious colours and palettes must be added before multiplying it into a theme that is refreshing to the eye and heart. The result? A tasteful yet updated look that converts history into eager expectations of the future.
