Designers Confirm: These Trends Are Officially Out For This Spring
As winter’s chill begins to dissipate, it’s the ideal moment to reflect on the past season and bid farewell to fashion trends that have had their moment. We’re not referring to a literal ‘red-reading’ session, but rather a thought-provoking exercise in which we dissect what’s no longer en vogue. This time around, our focus will shift from highlighting the latest must-haves to analyzing the styles that are on their way out.
Take a look at the trends making room for the design innovations of the upcoming season.
All-Neutral Interiors
Maximalism, the interior design trend that’s taken the world by storm in 2019, has left its mark on the traditional minimalist spaces we once knew and loved. Gone are the days of stark whites, grays, and beiges, as designers like Decorist elite designer Briana Nix now advocate for a bold injection of color to shake off the monotony of winter.
As Kate Lester Interiors so aptly puts it, this spring is all about embracing the richness of colors to not only elevate the character of your interior but also boost your overall well-being. Whether it’s adding pops of Pantone’s Living Coral, introducing a deep pomegranate sofa or green wall-paint, the possibilities are endless and the impact undeniable.
Cut Flowers
Imagine a world where the once-ubiquitous tulip bouquet has been usurped by a lush and airy phenomenon from South America – pampas grass. According to Decorist elite designer Baylee Deyon, this pale mauve grass has become the go-to accent piece for spring-inspired interiors. Its whimsical presence can elevate countertops, nightstands, or coffee tables, bringing with it a refreshing gust of exotic air that invigorates any space.
Neon Colors
Editor’s choice
As we welcome the arrival of spring, our design sensibilities shift towards a more subtle yet vibrant aesthetic. Gone are the neon hues that dominated our winter spaces; instead, we’re embracing the soft charm of robin egg blue and pale pinks to infuse our homes with warmth and tranquility. Whether it’s through plush pillows, statement furniture, or a show-stopping rug like the Swedish Rug, these gentle tones will effortlessly elevate your spring decor.
The result is a cozy atmosphere that invites relaxation and rejuvenation – the perfect antidote to winter’s chill.
Macramés
As the 2017 and 2018 Pinterest trends continue to dominate our feeds, it’s no surprise that macramés have reached a saturation point. Designer Amy Sklar warns of an impending ‘macramé owl overload’ reminiscent of the 1970s, suggesting we take a step back from this trend in 2019. Instead, Sklar Design proposes incorporating fringe accessories to bring a pop of color and eclectic flair into our spaces.
According to interior designer LAURE JOLIET, fringes have the power to transform neutral environments into vibrant oases or modern spaces with a bohemian twist.
