Current trends for interiors
Trends usually have a life cycle of getting in style one minute then out of style the next, only to come back with a bang decades later. Some come exactly as they were in the past while others come slightly modified. This life cycle of trends is especially evident in clothes— with the comeback of crop tops and “mom jeans” a few years ago and this year’s rise of the oversized vintage windbreakers of the ‘80s and ‘90s.
No one knows for certain what the future holds in the line of fashion and lifestyle. Trends have always been a challenge to precisely predict. Clothes and apparel aren’t the only things people tend to follow when it comes to trends; there are diets, exercises, cuisine—you name it!
What about the style of safe havens and comfort zones? This is something no one really thinks about until they have to, and when they do, no one really knows where to look. To make life easier for those who plan on redesigning their interiors in a way that will be iconic for 2018, 24-year-old forward-thinking interior designer Jasmine Geson gladly took the time to share her 2018 interior design trend predictions. According to Jasmine, the coming year promises to take mixing and matching to a whole other level.
“Eclectic design will be a major trend in interiors through the layering of different eras and textures of furnishing and accessories,” she said as she explained that because of its cozy yet sophisticted style, Mid-century to Farmhouse style, metallics (such as rose gold and bronze), organic materials, and traditional handcrafts would continue to gain momentum.
The University of San Carlos graduate, with the degree of a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design, added that furniture designs would lean more on curves and saturated colors.
“Most designers will play with more patterns and incorporate it to walls, ceilings and floors,” she said and mentioned the inclination of patterns such as herringbone or native weaves that connect to nature.
As for Pantone’s Color of the Year Ultraviolet? “The colors that look good with it are ochre, deep green, and burnt rose tones.”
With all these in mind, it’s easier for one to go forth and start designing.
