VELVET TRENDS 2022 - 2023
Toned Down
This theme is the ''blank page'', a new start, a search for meaning. Full of peaceful synergies and reciprocity. Responsible interiors with fluid lines. Minimal elegance but still sumptuous and comfortable. Peaceful, balanced and spacious. Long term transformation for a better tomorrow. Organic architecture, voluminous shapes, sculptural gardens, friluftsliv expressed by soft shimmering materials like velvets.
Also within this theme, we aim for a balance between recognition and surprise. Listen to nature, recycle and enjoy an organic affair with Green Raymakers. Structured velvets like linen and cords enhance this theme. For the shades we see many comfortable white tomes revived with hints of other colors. Also quiet shade greys and responsible soft greens in misty tones. Acid yellow is the accent color in this theme.
Making Sense
This theme is about finding a balance of recognizing the past and surprise about the post-pandemic effects. It is about uniting the past and the present. We are craving for the beautiful outside world, whilst recognizing that more conscious choices have to be made. Coming from a period full of rest, we are now creating imbalances by restlessly catching up our social contacts. In all the hectic we want to make well-considered choices for our interiors.
Live in harmony, inspired by art and history, japandi and spiritual. Use velvets that are functional to your new living and working space. For the colors in this theme we see beautiful purple and blue tones with a spell of violet for magic power. New dark colors like aska and yakisugi. Use accents of turquoise, like ice floes in the sea.
Earth Elements
Nature never felt so close. It is the recognition of our growing urge to move into nature. Optimistic, warm, authentic and responsive. Bewildering colors from nature in soft, voluminous fabrics made from natural and/or recycled yarns. Surprise and inspire yourself by desert x and the concise package of Rashed al Shashai. Or by the wall of Zarah Alghamdi made of earth, clay , rocks, leather and water, resulting in the most delicate color nuances.
Be inspired, stay inspired by the comforting luxury of this interior style, Use high-piled velvets in deep and warm colors like tuscany reds, burned oranges, honey yellows. Blush them off with moonstonegreys and browns. We also love an accent of intense pink that feels like a sunny filter over these warm colors.
