A snapshot of the five trends can be found below:
- Origin - Bringing it back home: Local culture, architecture, food and fashion shape our tastes, values and beliefs as we age. In a world with everchanging surroundings, designing with origin in mind creates a stronger emotional connection and embraces the richness of heritage.
- Nina Magon, Founder and Principal, Nina Magon Studio, said: “Genuineness and craft activism guide us to collaborate with artisans and support handcrafted elements that celebrate tradition.”
- Colors: Vibrant and vintage greens, burgundy, yellow-based greens, and terracotta oranges
- Materials & Finishes: Dekton® Kraftizen Umber, Dekton® Pietra Kode Ceppo and Avorio, petrified wood, cacti leather, and yaré fiber
- Solace - Designing for our emotions: Color goes beyond just a detail of design, but rather a way to stimulate certain emotions to redefine interactions with environments. Designing spaces to fit emotional needs has an impact on our human psyche and brings together textures, smells, colors and lighting to create a dynamic environment that supports mental and emotional health.
- Patricia Bustos, Spain Interior Designer, said: “The future home is a sanctuary, a space where the sensory and the emotional are prioritized.”
- Colors: Gentle greens, aquas, pale violets, soft peaches, and warm neutrals
- Materials & Finishes: Silestone® Le Chic Bohème Versailles Ivory, Dekton® Pietra Edition Sandik, Dekton® Onirika Trance, Sensa® Vancouver, porous ceramic, plastic, silk, and acrylic
- Nature - Designing for and with the environment: Sustainability will continue to become an increasingly important factor in design. The Nature trend influences a more modest and mindful approach to design, reassessing priorities of material items and reusing them to bring new life into the design of spaces.
- Mikel Welch, Interior Designer & TV Host, said: “My main inspiration comes from nature, historical craftsmanship, and the stories embedded in vintage pieces.”
- Colors: Greenish-grays, bluish-blacks, dim oranges, avocado greens, and ecru
- Materials & Finishes: Silestone® Sunlit Days Posidonia Green, Earthic by Silestone® XM Ffrom 03 and Raw G, Dekton® Pietra Kode Grigio, wood, wool, and eco-friendly materials
- Urban - Designing cities for the future: Urban living is growing worldwide, and the changing climate, the balance between heritage and innovation, tranquility and stimulation, and new household compositions are all factors to consider when building modern cities. Design solutions that create spaces that are versatile and multifunctional so that occupants can work, play, and live under one structure will become the main drivers of architectural innovation.
- Kathryn Gustafson, a founding partner of Gustafson Porter + Bowman, said: “Modularity of space and how it’s used really helps with social equity.”
- Colors: Medium-reds, classic blues, warm grays, bright yellow, and deep purples
- Materials & Finishes: Dekton® Pietra Edition Trevi, Silestone® Le Chic Romantic Ash, Silestone® Urban Crush Brass Relish, Sensa® Black Beauty, woven sun shades, concrete, and brick
- Wonder - Bending reality and beating expectations: Wonder imagines a more human-centered approach to design, leading to moments of surprise, amazement, and compassion. Buildings, interiors and objects that break through the mundanity and predictability of everyday life through colors, textures, and materials will continue to gain traction.
- Yeşim Kozanlı, Architect, Turkey said: “Play and wonder are concepts that redefine creativity and user-centered experience in design.”
- Colors: Reddish-blues, bluish-reds, reddish-yellows, blue-greens, and near-black purples
