2010 is the beginning of a new decade where designers are looking to the future head on. After an era of overexposed and excessive design, we are all craving a more simplistic approach that is far more soothing on the eye and brings back a sense of comfort and privacy.
The simple home has come a long way. Gone are the days where every room has a door and one purpose only. We have now become accustomed to an open floor plan where every room has been stripped bare for all to see. In order to attack this lack of privacy, designers have been forced to create sanctuaries within large spaces. The need for soft furnishings and warm colours and textiles have returned to soothe and provide a sense of security.
So, what you all want to know - Trends for Autumn 2010.
Designer are taking a 180 degree turn and going back to a more natural habitat - a complete contrast from the ultra-modern interiors we have seen in the last decade. So, you are going to see lots of wood and stone in both interiors and furniture design. These materials provide a great sense of warmth and are the perfect canvas for naturally toned fabrics and textiles. You will also be seeing a lot of different animal skins and clay, which is a combination I really love!
Man is well and truly on the search for serenity and comfort, causing designers to invent more artistic and functional objects that have poetic dominance but at the same time can become invisible within a room. I hope you enjoy the following sneak peak into Maison and Objet...
