The subtle fashion trends in the world of interior design for fall 2018 from curved sofas to black neutrals in the kitchen, signalling a rising global nomadic style, all need our attention. Here are a few trends which will serve you well for this fall as well as the next seasons to come.
CURVED SOFAS
Many existing design dilemmas are solved by curved sofas as you avoid seeing the flat ugly back of sofas. Now, all seated on the sofa can converse with each other instead of seeing each other’s side profiles! The organic curved sofa blends harmony and order in the room instead of a flat sofa. The Victorian era designed beautiful curved sofas in drawing rooms were a great addition when women’s dresses were clumsy and cumbersome, to add comfort to conversations. The design of curved sofas for the social gathering room with bar cabinets on each side of a fireplace going, invites intimacy and you never want to leave.
MODERN NEUTRALS
People often are comforted if surrounded by neutrals. Layering in texture and colors found in nature, metal finishes and simple shapes elevate a regular neutral palette to establish more modern and neutral spaces
MARBLE MAKES A COMEBACK
A vintage house only needs marble to restore itself back to it’s original charm. Classic, timeless materials like a Carrara marble coffee table or kitchen tops are always client favorites. Marble provides a refreshing visual balance to the warm wood tones of custom-built bookshelves too, and thoroughly compliment honeyed leather ottomans or rich olive green velvet sofas.
MONOCHROME COMFORTS
Autumn in Chicago, invites enveloping of spaces. Darker toned jewel color blocking unifies any bedroom or living room vignette and imparts a sense of comfort and warmth. The inky blue sofa highlights a minimalistic room with stark white walls.
GLOBAL NOMAD
Layered spaces laced with a heavy overdose of textiles and interspersed with vintage or unique furniture pieces are what define us. There is no better way of achieving a Global Nomad-ish sensibility in one’s personal spaces! It is better to begin by reviewing what is already there, then visit local antique shops and estate sales to add interesting art pieces and accessories which enables your space to sing aloud.
THE “BLACK” KITCHEN
Black is always classic and sophisticated, permitting high-contrast, sculptured moments. It really is hard to miss a black kitchen.
BOLD AND GRAPHIC RUGS
A while and blue Morocco-inspird rug adds visual texture and enhances the original charm of any old wooden flooring. The bold counterpoint to the natural rough-hewed wood and the classic rug pattern adds modern graphic elements while creating separate spaces, which can distinguish itself as the dining, entrance and living areas.
MAXIMALISM AND MIXED MATERIALS
For designing a sophisticated TV hangout area for younger family members, the rich opulence and aesthetics of London private clubs with a strong presence of midcentury fashion, is considered welcoming. Visual interest is retained by extensive layering of patterns, colors and cultural references with a mix of arts and accessories reflecting the current maximalism trend.
