Best: Big Florals
“I love the resurgence on the feminine side of the big beautiful florals. It’s coming from a boho trend that’s more causal,” says Nancy Fire, creative director of HGTV HOME, Design Works International and Studio NYC Design. “When combined together, boho and feminine details create a warm and inviting environment.”
Best: Artisan Furnishings
The trend of one-of-a-kind pieces has taken over the furniture industry, according to Fire. “I love seeing people think out of the box and using wood to create pieces that speak to themselves and are more independent of themselves,” she says.
Best: Handmade Light Fixtures
Juliet Gold, Interior Designer at 50 West and the Residences at Prince and founder of Juliet Gold Design, says she’s partial to light fixtures that are part of the artisan trend. “I’ve seen a shift towards local artisans and small businesses manufacturing high-end lighting fixtures, including those incorporating LEDs.”
Best: Bold Colors
“It’s nice to see yellow coming back, along with other colors most people weren’t comfortable with before, like red and corals,” says Fire. She explains that this is a huge improvement from back when most people played it safe with neutrals and cool colors.
Best: Velvet Furnishings
“I don’t think it will last too long, but the look of velvet is a big trend,” says Soto. While she’s embraced this material completely, purchasing a deep blue velvet couch for her formal living room, she says you can also get the look with a velvet throw pillow or blanket.
