WORK ETHIC

Tribal in feel, this trend pulls its inspiration from ancestral patterns found in Africa, India, Vietnam and beyond.

Utilizing a warm palette, the colors balance beautifully with the neutral foundations found throughout. The look is given a modern edge when it is blended with contemporary elements and metallic finishes. Elements are found on everything from furniture to wall décor to dinnerware and most importantly, rugs and carpeting.

Inspirational tribal prints influenced by sun colors of yellow, vibrant oranges and deep greens are mixed with global patterns and shapes to provide new design interpretations that represent the true meaning of living.

SHOCK VALUE

Vibrant hues add a bold edge to classic pieces, giving them a modern feel.

A saturated palette of fuchsia, turquoise, parakeet green, dusky orange and sunny yellow lends itself
to updated Ikat and traditional designs, as well as surprising pops of color throughout the home. Colors that are cleaner in character and provide a sense of optimism such as brighter mid-tones and zestful pastels dominate this fashion-forward way of living.

Linked to modernist designs that offer a blend of beauty and boldness, the uniqueness of this trend is purely based on its ability to influence home decorating ideas and allow those who dare to create a spectacular interior that is bright, fresh and original.
