If you’re looking to update your home decor this fall, you'll find new furniture profiles, accents and textures galore, in everything from rugs to wall coverings to ceramics and bedding.
The trend toward mixing things up continues, from rustic to contemporary with a dash of traditional.
“What’s interesting is the warm breath of traditional style that infuses the season’s midcentury influence: Furniture, textiles and accessories, no matter how sleek-lined, are warm, inviting and touchable,” says New York designer Elaine Griffin.
Also coming on is the handmade or “collected” vibe.
“Our desire for authenticity, as well as for finely crafted and small production design, is resonating,” says Jackie Jordan, color marketing director for the paint manufacturer Sherwin-Williams. “We want to know whose hands actually created the object we’re purchasing, and how and where the materials were sourced.”
Griffin concurs: “This season, the handmade look reigns supreme, with highly-textured fabric weaves, wallpapers (faux bois, faux hand-painted murals, and multicolored and metallic-layered geometric prints) and appliquéd effects on upholstery.”
