If
you’re looking to spruce up your interiors, take a pick from Cognizance: Trends
Forecast 2016-2017 that equips you with a detailed overview across home fashion
and lifestyle…
Annual B2B trade show, HGH India held during the beginning
of July in Mumbai, highlighted new and upcoming colour palettes, designs,
materials and styles for 2016-17 in home textiles, furnishings, home décor and
house-ware through ‘Cognizance’ a stylish and well-researched Trends Pavilion
and the focal theme of the show.
Holistically
spanning all categories, trends forecast have been segregated into five broad
thematics: Sumptuous, Jollification, Perception, Confluence and Energise!
Sumptuous, which refers
to the perfectly laidback chic style statement encompasses an assortment of
grand and glamorous inner spaces. Inspired by luxurious, palatial lifestyle
choices, the style favours objects like precious-looking cut stones, royal
colours, and exquisite charming textures, carved frames, hand-woven textiles
and glass.
Jollification springs to
mind the spontaneity of a Bohemian – haphazard, yet joyous. Rooted in global
ethnicities, the style comprises bold and vibrant colours that add drama with
neon hues and set the mood for celebrations, festivals, carnivals and
joyfulness. In short, uninhibited and fancy-free.
Perception takes an
inward look and focuses as much on preconceived notions as on illusions/
illusory experiences. Here, mysterious lines create a visual curve,
accentuating the perspective illusion. Bold and unconventional designs in home
textiles and home décor; minimalistic, geometric prints and patterns; perfect bold
and beautiful combinations; monochromatic black and white, accentuated with the
singular touch of vibrancy, et al.
The
raw magnetism of natural materials comes together in the style christened ‘Confluence’. Lively nuances are
featured via stoneware and enameled plates and emphasized via simple chic
forms. An urban vibe in a classy cottage backdrop; quiet elegance with sleek
tables; single-tone colours and neat compositions; and accents in earthy
textures take centre stage!
Underlying
all the above and tying them in with gusto is the trend named ‘Energise’. It promulgates positive stimulation.
Trendy and quirky patterns draw inspiration from social media. Happy and
energized elements are clearly influenced by funky symbols and sci-fi graphics,
reflecting contemporary lifestyle.
So,
based on your space, your preferred style statement can create a trendy
signature. Customize it with your exclusive, distinctive touch and spin your
magic!
