Do you want to keep up with fashion even in design?your home? From our article you will learn about the main trends in interior design, announced at the most important autumn decor exhibitions. Of course, for those who work in a classic style, visiting exhibitions gives the opportunity to immerse themselves in their native element. The variety of truly decorative interiors, designer stands and unusual compositions - all this inspires, amazes, and sometimes even shocks. Designer Elena Krylova shared with us her impressions of what she saw at the decor exhibitions held this fall and made impressive conclusions about new trends. Let's see what the most fashionable designers and decorators emphasize in their work.
Exciting aromas
The exhibition organizers pay great attention to"fragrant" stands. Unusual design, enticing aromas from the best fashion houses, including Luxury Candles, Christian Lacroix, bright colors - all this makes you stop for a long time at the deliciously served stands with the desire to take with you, if not the entire exposition, then at least fragrant memories. It is worth filling your home with magical aromas, fortunately now there is such a huge selection of aromatic interior candles and incredibly beautiful sachets.
Flowers forever
Flowers have long been a symbol of freshness, comfort andwarmth of our homes. No table setting is complete without chic floral arrangements. However, their time, unfortunately, is numbered. French florists have refuted this theory by offering stunningly realistic decor made of artificial flowers. If someone still considers them a symbol of bad taste, it's time to reconsider your point of view. Flowers in huge vases and small boutonnieres, flowers in the interiors of bedrooms, living rooms and kitchens, flowers in table setting and as separate arrangements - all this looks as natural as possible, and thanks to new technologies, they are practically indistinguishable from natural ones to the touch. Our opinion: - To begin with, buy one beautiful arrangement and put it in the toilet, for example. If you can come to terms with the fact that the bouquet is not alive - try moving it to another room until, finally, it ends up on your dressing table. Then - go ahead! - buy this beauty for the whole apartment.
Eco-trend
Of course, this trend runs like a red threadthrough most of the exhibition displays. It manifests itself both in the creation of furniture from natural materials, creative ideas of designers inspired by nature itself, and in items made from recycled materials. Examples include poufs and tables in the shape of large boulders, armchairs made of solid stone, the Born this way furniture collection made from shipping containers, children's furniture and wallpaper made of cork, as well as many interesting accessories in the form of funny animals: deer shelves from BEdesign and a collection of soft stools Petstools from Hanna Ernsting. However, some items caused a dual feeling: stuffed exotic animals or armchairs made entirely of crocodile skin. Such eco-trends are a luxury that causes protest. Our opinion: - If you feel sorry to pay money for designer "firewood" - ask your friends to saw you some nice birch stumps. There will be no limit to the delight of aesthetic young ladies!
Lemon and turquoise
The exhibitions' subdued colours also addressvisitors to the eco-trend. The expositions are mostly created using laconic gray and natural green tones. However, some bright accents stand out advantageously against such color mutedness. Multi-colored furniture, scarlet roses, noble gold - all this draws attention to exquisite interior items. The color trend this year is the menthol color "Tiffany" and bright lemon yellow, which refresh the interior, while making it more respectable. Especially bright color trends are observed in the collections of fabrics and home textiles of such brands as Kenzo, Missoni, Blumarine. Our opinion: - Lemon in our latitudes scares many. Although for a curtain in the bathroom, for example, it will suit perfectly. But our people have a long-standing passion for turquoise, which is passed down from generation to generation. So here it is rather not we who take an example from them, but they - from us.
Humor as a trend
Exhibition designers approach the creation of theircollections with humor. Many exhibits make visitors smile sincerely, looking at the original finds. Diesel pleased with a collection of tableware reminiscent of assembly tools, and Sedes Regia showed poufs in the form of funny animals. Agree, it is difficult to feel sad in such an interior. In a word, humor as a trend is worth taking note of.
Tips for visiting decor exhibitions
Elena Krylova, interior designer:— If you are a practicing designer, then, firstly, do not expect more from decor exhibitions than from the famous Italian furniture exhibition iSaloni. Here you can enjoy the beauty of the decor, but for the main interior trends you need to go to Milan. Secondly, be sure to wait until the last day of the exhibition. That is when you can buy the most interesting decor items from the stands at absolutely ridiculous prices. Thirdly, take clients with you. The atmosphere of the exhibition sets them in a buying mood, and choosing the decor they like becomes incredibly easy. The main thing is to protect them from unnecessary purchases. Fourthly, separate the days of visiting the exhibition. Do not try to go around everything at once - this way you will not be able to fully enjoy and feel each stand and the items presented there. And finally, do not hesitate! European decor exhibitions are exactly where you need to go for inspiration. helendesign.ru Photos taken by designer Elena Krylova at the Maison&Objet exhibition
