Trends we saw at Paris Deco Off
One of the best ways to describe Paris Deco Off is that it's "fashion week for interiors".
Each January, the world's top decor brands showcase their new collections and it's an opportunity for the design and style world to be immersed in the incredible artistry and inspiration of the new fabric and wallpaper collections. Home Fabrics hit the streets of Paris to visit the showrooms where some of our favourite brands showcased their new products. It was also the place to be to spot the key design trends for 2023.
Nature
From imaginative landscape to flora and fauna, nature in fabrics and wallcoverings is a key theme for the next year. The reigning trend of reconnecting with nature and including more natural elements is definitely one to follow. For the upcoming season, representations of nature in our decor continues but these new fabrics and wallcoverings celebrate nature in bright, bold designs along with incredible natural textures. We saw nature taking center stage in the Ikebana collection by Designers Guild, the Rhapsody collection by Osborne & Little and Arte's sensational new tactile wallcoverings.
70s colour
Colour is feeling a little groovy this spring and summer. Inspiration from the 70s appears in earthy tones such as rich, avocado green, zesty orange, chocolate brown and inky dark blue tones. While the colours are clear in their origin, they do get a contemporary look in updated shapes and patterns. We saw a lot of 70s colour inspiration in new collections by Zimmer + Rhode as well as the Viviana collection by Osborne & Little.
Texture
It was impossible to not want to touch all the fabrics and wallpapers. There is an abundance of texture in the new collections with boucle having quite a presence. Even in wallcoverings, texture and 3D relief are becoming increasingly popular as they become a feature that is both visually and physically appealing. Textures in fabrics are also really interesting with unique shapes and tactile experiences showcased in new collections by JAB Anstoetz as well as wallpapers by Arte.
