London Design Week 2013, Spring’s Ultimate Interiors Event

Our fabulous design team at UK Curtains and Interiors visited London Design Week. In search of the big trends in home interiors, our style-seekers explored  over 500 international brands at 98 Design Centre showrooms  to ensure our own range of curtains and accessories is current and exemplifies exceptional design that delights the eye and feels good to the touch.

We found some really strong trends this year and we are delighted to be sharing a few of them with you. 

Textures and Mark Making

This trend is everywhere at the moment and reflects quite a graphic look in strong colour ways.

For maximum impact these textures are being used in black and inky blues however in the soft stones and natural colours these textures are really effective at achieving a semi plain look. With the perfect fabrics, colours and textures could shine in your space.

Painterly Florals

Although this trend has been around for a couple of seasons it is still very much in evidence. Painted florals are found in abundance whether they are bold and abstract or soft and sensitive. We think this trend is a stunning celebration of colour and below are own plant-inspired patterns.

Retro Geos

This trend was the most dominant trend at London Design Week 2013 and represents the strongest pattern trend in the UK interior industry at the moment.

This trend is quite graphic, Scandinavian in look – lots of monochrome and grey warmed up with soft mimosa yellows, orange, coral and teal to give a bright modern, funky look. Whilst lots of inky blue geometrics compliment the first trend perfectly, we found most collections were a combination of these two trends working perfectly together.

So after such an inspirational week we are busy making sure our collections of ready made curtains, cushions and made to measure products are cutting-edge cool and at the forefront with some of the leading names in home interiors.
