Let's see what colors, patterns and textures are popular in Russia. This will help you make a choice. The DecoRus exhibition is the only professional exhibition of high-class interior design in Russia. This year it celebrated its anniversary, once again bringing together the best world brands specializing in decorative interior design in the capital (more than 100 expositions).

Traditionally, only the best, the most beautiful, the most in-demand on the Russian market are exhibited at the participants' stands. Professionals who come to the exhibition discuss current trends and select worthy items for their showrooms. We also looked into the luxurious halls of the National Hotel and are now ready to show and tell you what Russians will wear at home in the coming year. So…
Flora and Fauna
“Once a year the gardens bloom,” Anna sangGerman, but designers clearly disagree with the singer and for several years now have been suggesting surrounding ourselves with flowers: large and small, bright and pastel, colorful and monochromatic, realistic and fantasy, inspired by Japanese watercolors and Provencal landscapes. Drawn, embroidered, woven, glued... On their own, in combination with birds of paradise, butterflies, wide and thin stripes. Due to the fact that floral and plant patterns look equally organic on any surface, all types of fabrics (linen, silk, chiffon, satin, taffeta, organza, satin, wool), wallpaper and wall coverings have conquered them. Alexey Eliseev, CEO of Manders stores: - No matter how busy I am, I always find time to drop in on the DecoRus exhibition. To chat with our regular partners, with whom we have already become friends over 20 years of working. This anniversary exhibition was not without a surprise, which was presented to us by the Sanderson company. Having analyzed the flow of orders coming from Russia, the brand's designers put together a special Russian Classic catalog, which included 40 of the most popular designs among Russians. These are mainly floral motifs. A total of 100 copies were released. Several of them are in our stores. The new collection of the Zoffany Constantina Damask brand deserves special attention. It is based on silk fabrics with a classic damask pattern, which is extremely popular among Russian customers. In addition to the traditional interpretation of the pattern, there are also modern variations made using innovative technologies. manders.ru
Eastern motives
The East is not only a delicate matter, but also a veryin demand. Designers continue to turn to oriental motifs and textures in their collections, reproducing them both in their original form and reinterpreting them in a modern way, mixing them with folklore traditions of different countries: traditional ornaments, embroidery, weaving and knitting. In the collections you can find fabrics reminiscent of patchwork blankets and woven carpets, with textures imitating handicraft techniques, with paisley, ikat and girih ornaments, but in unexpected color combinations and graphic designs.
Embroidery, 3D and other effects
Embroidery is back in fashion!Moreover, if earlier it was mainly used to decorate velvet, silk and lace, now it is increasingly used to embroider linen, cotton, mixed and woolen fabrics. The execution techniques are also very diverse: satin stitch, dashed stitch, stem stitch, a la chenille and blackwork, beads, gold, sequins. At the stands of Nobilis, Morris & Co, GP & J Baker there was linen embroidered with bright fantasy flowers and birds, and cotton with ethnic ornaments, and luxurious silks with classic patterns, and weightless nets with floral embroidery, which can only be called a work of art.
The fabrics on whichembroidery was used to give the design additional volume. To achieve this, many manufacturers embroidered individual motifs of the printed design with satin stitch, others preferred to stitch the outlines of the print with a more voluminous thread (soutache, wool, velvet ribbons and even felt), while others embroidered the entire design with thick thread. Our attention was drawn to the architectural ornament, embroidered on linen with heavy cotton thread and imitating the famous pointillism painting technique. This gives the fabric a modern shade, and in combination with metallic threads and mother-of-pearl glitter creates an additional volume effect (Harlequin).
Alexey Eliseev, CEOManders stores: — The Purity textile and wallpaper collection presented by the Harlequin brand has every chance of becoming a Russian bestseller. Very elegant, representing a modern interpretation of classic motifs and ornaments and at the same time possessing zero contrast. Shiny satins with an ombre effect and linen decorated with sequins, sophisticated floral patterns and appliqués look especially impressive. Wallpapers complementing the fabrics offer modern damask patterns reminiscent of lace and elegant floral designs. manders.ru Lace masters also keep up with modern fashion, and at the stand of the Scottish company MYB Textiles we found stunning examples of modern Nottingham lace with a voluminous geometric pattern, woven on vintage looms. The unique technology of weaving and twisting wool fibers allows you to get soft and weightless fabrics with a voluminous pattern on a transparent mesh. And the combination of different weave structures gives the design a unique depth and texture.
Wallpaper manufacturers are also getting into the swing of thingsmodern technologies. In addition to the already familiar digital and 3D drawings, wall panels with an optical stereo effect have appeared. We saw such wallpapers from the French brand Elitis (Wonderland collection) at the Skol company stand. When you look at the image of the deer Rudolf from different angles, you get the feeling that it has volume. This effect is achieved by superimposing a layer of transparent plastic with a complex convex texture on the picture, playing the role of many lenses. We found an even more exotic option at the same stand of the Belgian company Omexco - Nomad wall coverings made from the leaves of the Philippine water lily, painted in a variety of shades.
In general, wallpaper that reproduces naturaltextures are incredibly popular. The unique collection of Armani Casa wall coverings, presented at the Piterra stand, was no exception. The legendary couturier opted for colors, structures and textures borrowed from nature: trees, tropical plants, stone.
The Dutch wallpaper also caught our attentionEijffinger brand at the stand of the company "Ampir Decor". Here are imitations of natural textures, and volumetric drawings with a 3D effect, and intricate graphics, and the play of light and shadow in black and white variations. Your eyes will run wild!
