Fabric Trends 2014

For 2014 we will be using a combination of something quite raw with precious elements from prints on hemp or an earthy fabric with a metallic element to it. Something that you would consider quite luxurious.
There is a hint of luxury and comfort where window treatments are concerned and roller blinds will be easily controlled via remotes, light switch or even the internet.
There is room for glitter embellishment even in a sophisticated home, you just cannot get enough of metallics and sparkle for 2014 ,embellishments can be incredibly stunning when used in moderation to provide a refined space with personality.
Large-scale florals and bold prints are also the hot trends in curtaining for 2014.
Classic meets contemporary , minimalism meets drama and handmade meets technology. Bold florals cater to traditional tastes while stylised patterns offer fashionable energy. Fabrics are glowing too with a subtle sheen and earthy natural textiles will combine with metallic elements to provide a contemporary feel.

Alongside the metallic look we are also seeing iridescent and pearlised finishes to fabrics and accessories.

While decorative hardware has been dominated by stainless steel for some time there is now a move towards gold and copper. We are already seeing it in interior furnishings copper stools, gilded mirrors and gold products, now we can merge it into our home fabrics.

As society increases the obsession with must have technological gadgets, we may see a desire to counterbalance that with nature. Native and exotic flowers, leaves and trees and organic objects are big trends too.
Texture is high lighted in fashion fabrics and wallpapers as well as curtaining. The fabrics need not be bright colours to be bold, an understated bold suits our relaxed lifestyles and textures with slight variations will stand out on their own.

Eclectic personal interiors will keep gaining popularity, though equilibrium will shine through with walls that match fabrics.
