Designer Laura Stein shows us this year’s top design trends.
If you could choose one city in the world to find the latest trends in design and décor, it would be la Ville Lumière. Paris – the City of Light, the centre of fashion, and the home of Maison & Objet, one of the world’s largest design and décor shows. This fall, thousands of designers, artisans and manufacturers from around the globe descended on Paris to display their wares and peruse the latest trends in home décor. I was lucky enough to be among them. Undoubtedly, not every global design craze I discovered will make it to our shores, but I found five standout 2013 trends that we will surely adore. – Text Laura Stein
Trend #2 A RIOT OF COLOUR
Violet, apple green, cobalt blue, popsicle orange and lemon yellow will be seen in design this year. After years of subdued neutrals, we are craving colour. It started in 2012 with tempered subtle shades, but in 2013 we’ll be in full colour swing with a rainbow of strong primaries, bright hues, colour blocking and multi-coloured graphic prints. Many of the hues are straight from the 1980s, reinforcing that era’s influence on this year’s fashion and décor. Look for the colour craze everywhere from upholstery to appliances.
