Generally what I’m seeing is clients asking for things that are more honest, more utilitarian, things that generally have a natural material. Or at least a materiality that is honest so that you know what it is made out of. We are certainly seeing a lot of that. Although, it is all personal taste.

Texture is really all about wovens and weaves and especially shows up in upholstery, linen textures. It’s kind of rougher, things that have a hand to them is really where it’s at for sure.

One of the biggest things is that natural textures are coming back in. We’ve been seeing a lot of the return of natural wood textures especially in kitchen cabinets. I think there is a bit of departure away from the high gloss stuff.

Pretty much one of the biggest trends as far as colour goes is the resurgence of brun white. What’s happened is that brun white was a bit granny-ish for a long time, very stuck in that whole delfate perspective. It really has come to the fore, it actually came back originally around last season on dinnerware and has moved into bedding as well. It’s about that mix and layering. It looks great against greys, it looks great against linen tones and of course it looks perfect against a fresh white. It is seasonless now.
