Good ideas don’t require proper planning or schedule; nor do they benefit from exhaustingly long meetings and conversations with management. They emerge from experiments, from playing around with things that you care…
Vintage furniture
Spoke about this before, and I am excited is a trend now. Vintage furniture, and I should add repurposed furniture to this one. I saw the rise of all these thrifters and DIY accounts all over the internet, making the best of a pre-loved item. AND - we all know about the sustainability factor about this. Also, it adds something different to your space, unique and that none can buy. Get out now, and go thrift shopping, go to your local spot and get some new pieces for your room, and if you are feeling artsy, pass by a Home Depot and Michaels and customize it.
Natural materials
Organic cottons, sustainable sourced woods, natural stone, linens will be prevailing over synthetic or imitation materials. Using these raw materials can tend to give a minimal and californian style, yet since these materials are natural, can be easily mutated with natural dyes, accessories, paints and even giving them different shapes, that can accommodate your own style.
Granny Chic.
Or Grand Millennial. This phrase recalls the coziness of your grandma’s house. The over-patterned couches and pillows, wallpapers and china, that takes you back to a cozy place. This I would say is the most influenced by the pandemic: in efforts to bring coziness to our home, after spending a time none would ever imagine inside, there’s a SERIOUS NEED to make houses home. This calls mixing patterns, textured, going towards a maybe cluttered eclectic. But don’t be scared, you can imagine this like a Kelly Wreastler’s style at some point.
Diverse Inspiration
We are looking now to search for inspiration further than our country - getting in touch with our ancestors, other lands, more tribal, more earthy, finding the beauty in design with a purpose. Ancient mascaras, necklaces, even colors, textures, and photography. Eastern cultures, Asia, local, vernacular.
Craftsmanship
YES - I mean, who didn’t buy some plants and patio furniture while being stuck at home? I sure did. And I couldn’t be happier that I did, mostly because I live in an apartment and the dead concrete and white walls were dreadful to me, when spending most of the time outside. Now I’ve got trees that I have to water every single day, and amazing comfortable host-friendly furniture that everyone loves. Great investment.
Wellness as a priority.
