Trends for 2019
For some time I have wondered about doing a pictorial blog, and so this is an experiment using pages from my little ideas notebook. I am going to start with a bit of a summary in case my writing is too hard to decipher, but after that it is notebook pages. Any feedback gratefully received. Just for information, this is my ideas notebook:
It’s a very nice Italian number with wooden covers, which I picked up at a bargain price at TK Maxx. It’s very small, and I literally use it for quick notes when I have an idea.
This post then, is about trends in decor from the January number of Elle Decoration. I occasionally do this quick review and have a think about what impact the trends might have on patchwork and quilting. I think the answer is basically none, but it is worth thinking a bit about if you are hoping to sell anything, or just want a prod to do something slightly different. This year’s trends then are:
- Industrial luxury (I am none the wiser having read the article)
- 1970s full-on Abigail’s Party
- Yellow and in particular deep mustard and turmeric. Also recommended: deep mustard, terracotta and teal
- Chrome
- Handpainted tiles
- Lozenges
- Woven art work on the walls
- Eco surfaces
- Coloured stone
- Graphic lines
- Rust and rose together
- Timber
I hope you find something here of interest.
