There are a lot of trends this year, inspiring and inviting us to make changes and additions to our home interior. Here are 3 great trends – and 3 microtrends.
1/ SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
Consumers are thinking more long-term than we have in the past, considering the ecological implications of our purchases. We are buying fewer, more high-quality, timeless pieces. Recycling, sustainable materials and sustainable production become increasingly more important to us. This is also reflected in the popularity of wooden furniture and plants, which bring nature into our homes.
Our curtain tracks are made of long lasting, resilient aluminum and have a timeless design. For our CSR initiatives, see elsewhere on this site.
2/ COLORS ARE THE NEW NEUTRALS
Neutrals are increasingly being replaced by warm colors, saturated hues and jewel tones in our homes. Earth colors which feel soft yet grounded, with natural pigments. Cool blues, washed teals, mossy greens and greys, teamed with warmer pinks, are all popular this year.
AP curtain rails can be delivered in all RAL colours, on demand. Our metallic curtain tracks and curtain rods in chrome, silver, steel, brass and gold, also go beautifully with the colors of the year.
3/ SOFT AND CURVY
Rounded shapes and arches are a key part of this trend, but also cushions, throws, knits and curtains can make a space feel inviting. Velvet is still a very popular fabric for sofas, chairs and curtains. The so called ‘Blue Planet effect’ has made all things curved, wavy and ocean-inspired popular, eg. scalloped furniture and fish scaled tiles.
AP Perfect Wave System will give you beautiful ripple fold drapery. Our wide tracks and sturdy gliders work seamlessly with heavy fabrics like velvet.
3 MICRO TRENDS:
Statement lights
Lighting fixtures do more than brighten up a room — they are increasingly being used as minimalist lighting accents, drawing attention to a specific part of a room. Our LED curtain tracks highlight your fabric and create a nice ambience around your window.
Authentic spaces
Interior design is becoming less about trends and more about being authentic and creating spaces that tell your story and reflect your individuality. With our huge product range you can create custom made curtain rails and curtain poles, which match your personal style.
Fringing
Fringing is big this year on everything from lampshades and mirrors to hanging wall art. Maybe tassels on your curtain holdbacks can do the trick if you are not feeling bold enough for bigger tasseled pieces?
