In fact, metallics have been important for a while, “Everything I see out there now has a neutral though not necessarily in rugs. “A metallic can even component,” she continues. For example, violet might become a neutral! For example, a dining room table have a beige undertone. Orange is gentler. “They could have a brushed gold base and a natural wood hearken back to natural, fleshy colorations. We see top.

MERCHANDISING

Glamour in Home Furnishings Ms. Giordano detects a nod towards glamour in interiors. “Metallics are sometimes being used in a luxe way, in rich fabrics like velvet, or in mohair pillows.” However, she’s also spotted a potential conflict of interest: desire for a luxurious feeling at the same time that concern for protecting the environment is growing. She calls this an “eco-friendly trend. Our eco-frien dly collections are recycled fabric and remnants from cotton clothing in India, which feature bright pops of color. If they’re made from recycled denim, they look more pastel.” For 2019, she’s predicting Glamour vs. Virtue. “People will be conscious of the environment, sus- tainability, wellness, mindfulness, and where or how you spend your money. They’ll buy fewer things, and instead save up for a v ery special trip, or a decadent dinner at a five-star restaurant.”

Social Trends Affecting Colors Kathy Andersson, a color marketing consultant, is seeing some similar developments. She believes that color can only be considered in context and in relation to the broader culture. To her, the context of color includes patterns, materials and surface decoration. She has identified what she calls “Key Drivers” in her research, and presented her findings at High Point in October. Ms. Andersson, owner of Rendered Nest Staging in Greensboro NC, believes that the popular- ity of certain colors is strongly affected by significant social trends, to which she gives descriptive titles. Among the most relevant are: • Fast Fashion. This is a recent business model, which influences consumers directly. “We see [something new], and before you know it, it can be at our doorstep,” she explains. The entire production process has sped up. “We see an item on our screens, tablets, phones—and we want it now.” She calls one approach to this impatience “augmented reality. This involves temporary images, which are sort of artificial. They

will be what inspires this somewhat less-refined palette. How can colors, materials, finishes, etc. be quickly translated from concept to manufacturing when a trend is first identified? You do lose that sense of authenticity or luxury, because it’s a bit dispos- able,” Ms. Andersson feels. • Anti-Fashion. This new trend is a little bit social, a little bit political to Ms. Andersson. She describes it as “rebellious, independent and comfortable. It might combine vintage clothing with new, well-made gar- ments.” The #MeToo movement may be having some effect, she suspects, for instance in styles like high necklines. “Anti-Fashion has gone viral and is very popular,” she notes. “The colors are very clashing. We may see mix-and-match tones and values, instead of the colors themselves. The new design is eclectic, imperfect and busy, yet somehow comfortable and creative at the same time.” Anti-fashion displays personality and individuality, she believes. “In designing a room, it could all be busy. Mix and match the patterns. An older oriental rug might fit here, mixed with something like grandma’s floral sofa, but with slightly updated colors and prints.” However, “Anti-fashion is a niche market. This is not for everybody.” Already, some retailers are following this growing trend. In the UK in 2019, “Ikea is using this concept for a space. They will launch a line of independent and personalized items, with a do-it-yourself inspiration,,” says Ms. Andersson. “I can see this whole market for the younger generation taking interior furnishings in a very pure direction.” Depending on the price point, it might inspire the higher-end market by toning down the eclectic, rebellious sense. “The Anti-fashion concept can also be applied to the manufacturing, color combinations and design of a rug,” she adds. • The Redefined Home. Members of the 30-to-45- year-old generation are on WiFi all the time, travel

often, and are influenced by their destinations, says Ms. Andersson. “To create their own home, they hunger for community. They bring back the sensibili- ties they see elsewhere. The line is nearly blurred between the places where they work or vacation. Color and texture almost meld. In general, they’re searching for simplicity, escape, and comfort in their home environment. This generation connects with nature and celebrates family as well as pets. They share concerns about health and wellness wherever they are. One example, a new micro-trend, is the outdoor shower, because it’s secluded and cleansing.” In the redefined home, colors are soft and neutral, like natural green or blue. Grays are warmer, because, “Cool gray is not as inviting. The appeal of cross-over colors continues. They can work in different settings, and keep on influencing how our interiors will look. Blush is now almost a white and has fantastic uses when mixed with, say, copper leather tones with black accents.” Citing a Scandinavian influence, she’s seen rooms with traditional white coating on trim, with black-framed art on a wall having small black metal edges. “When we look at Millennial Pink now, it takes on a whole new mea ning because it’s seen in a different context.”

Summary The colors of 2019 subtly reflect some changes in culture and values. Look for expanded use of neutral tones and colors. Today’s growing interest in health, wellness and environment is helping to make warmer, softer colors more appealing.

TAMARIAN CARPETS 6-E18 Firm’s Market Highlights: nFaced with an increasingly crowded marketplace with mass produced goods at lower qualities and price points, Tamarian Carpets has responded by raising the level of design and quality in their 2019 collections. Stunning, finely knotted designs include: Rhein TK Haze, an elegant wash of neutral tones in all wool; Decko TK Storm Cloud, an architectural design enhanced with pure silk highlights; and Langley TK Jade, a spirited cross-hatch pattern answering the Design Trade ’s call for more color. nOther collections in some of the firm’s signature weaves also continue to grow with the introduction of the Maracca series in an 80-knot weave, with particular celebration around the all wool “Blue Brush” colorway. The new piece, Modernas PW Blue Dusk, was the fan favorite in the company’s patented “Phoenix Weave” quality in addition to several popular 100- knot designs such as Planke, Khaten, and Cage, translated in this uniquely textured yarn. nTamarian continues to innovate with the development of several new mobile apps used by staff to help maintain accounts, organize/manage trade show selections, and further empower our showrooms with good, timely information that instills confidence in the sales force.
