Sustainability (Less is More): “Being strategic and purposeful about purchasing behaviour is a key ingredient to a sustainable ethos. From the initial question of, ‘Who you are purchasing from and what values do they stand for?’ to ‘What type of materials are used to build each item?’ To complement and highlight special pieces, we believe in designing an impeccable foundation through the use of timeless materials, ultimately resulting in bones that evoke emotion whenever you’re in your space”, explains Becky Shea.

Biophilia: “For 2019, there is greater interest in biophilia–emphasizing the relationship between humankind and nature, and the connections between the two. Natural, organic materials–such as wood floors, stone, and daylight and plant life–remind us of the exterior and brings the outside and nature, in. We are machine- and technology-driven society, but nostalgic about past processes and handiwork, so opportunities for custom Millwork and crafted materials are very important”, confirms Angie Lee of FXCollaborative.

Memphis Design: “The Memphis movement is overtaking midcentury modern as the furnishing and colour selection du jour. Primary colours and graphic shapes haven’t seen this much action since the eighties. Also in our space planning we are turning away from straight, rigid furniture lines and choosing enveloping tub chairs and Vladimir Kagan-esque curved sofas”, remembers Carolyn Pressly of Carolyn Pressly Interiors.

Feminine Tones: “Colors I see in for 2019 are blush, dusty pink and bronze. Warm colours and feminine tones for on the walls and dashes of soft pinks to break up expanses of taupe or neutrals will instantly update a tired room”, says Katharine Pooley of Katharine Pooley London.

Maximalist Art: “The dominance of minimalism and Scandinavian design, which is characterized by neutral colours and simple materials, is finally declining. In its place, bright colours and graphic patterns are becoming more prevalent in the home. Don’t be afraid to mix colours, patterns and textures. Take a gallery wall to the next level by having it cover an entire wall, or add a dramatic, large-scale piece to your space. In this case, more is more”, claims Sandra Chandler of .

Floral Fabrics and Wallpapers: “The traditional beauty of floral patterns, either abstracted or straight up chintz, will be the pattern to use”, explains Erin Gates of Erin Gates Design.

Rich Jewel Tones with an Edge: “Right now, I am loving deep, rich jewel tones with an edge. Bold indigo, hunter and emerald green, and dark teal all feel ready to have a moment outside of the kitchen. We’re layering living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms with paints, fabrics, accessories, and rugs in these colours to create drama against a backdrop of white architectural elements”, says Jeff Andrews of Jeff Andrews Design.

Handmade Pieces: “Items made by hand using sustainable materials like jute, rice paper, and clay will be in, in 2019. We see people needing these grounding elements in their homes as a way to feel more in touch with the earth and their roots”, explains Kristen Peña of K Interiors.

Four-Poster Beds: “In uncertain times, people tend to want spaces that bring a sense of comfort and safety. A four-poster bed provides that type of feeling. It’s the closest thing you can get to a hug from a piece of furniture”, says Amy Sklar.
