DESIGN TRENDS
50 enLIGHTenment Magazine | october 2019 www.enlightenmentmag.com
Veteran magazine editor and home furnishings forecaster Julie Smith Vincenti of Nine Muses Media has curated three trends for the fall market influenced by consumer insights and creative intelligence from the interiors, fashion, and consumer product arenas.
The three trends identified for Fall 2019 TrendWatch are:
ANIMALIER
Animals have been subject matter for painters, illustrators,
textile designers, and sculptors throughout the centuries. The “animalier” was known for realistic portrayals. At market, product selections will include furnishings in all product categories in clas- sical and tropical colorways; animal skin prints; avian and exotic animal motifs; plus polished and burnished metal finishes.
FOCUS
Serenity, wellness, well-being, and mindfulness — the pursuit of calm, clarity, and contentment can be a journey. Focus looks at color, material, and nature as a mindset, all against a backdrop of serene, yet powerful, colors. Products include furnishings in all product categories — particu- larly upholstery, dining, accent furniture, wall décor, wallpaper, area rugs, lighting, and decorative accessories — in serene colors.
