Future-focused trends
The international trade fairs for home and contract textiles ar in full swing. It's also an insightful showcase of current and emerging trends within the decor and design sectors, reflecting what's driving consumers and inspiring new textile products.
One of the trends showcased recently is called Continuous. Continuous celebrates zero-waste, closed-loop production that sees material recycled into new products again and again. It is practical, pared-back, utilitarian, and timeless, reflecting a sense of essentialism and longevity. Its impact is sophisticated and subtle, with universal appeal.
Features of Continuous textiles are:
Advancements in fibre regeneration allow for zero-waste, truly circular production of both synthetic and cellulose yarns
Timeless and essentialist palettes encourage longevity and extended life

Waste fibres are respun and material fragments amalgamated to create new composite materials and textiles
In terms of colour palette, the Continuous trend has a palette that celebrates modern, essential hues. From bright white through a series of warm greys and sage into sophisticated, classic blues and complex near-blacks, this palette elevates the classics with nuanced undertones and added complexities.
To incorporate this trend into your design, speak to your Home Fabrics sales rep or visit our showrooms to learn more about our Eco collections. These are upholstery and drapery fabrics that are made with recycled fibres, thus reducing the environmental impact and ensuring fibres have a new life in new fabric. It's an effective choice that supports the extended life of the fabric that is of the highest quality and durability.
