Every year during the Maison Objet show, we’re reminded why Paris remains one of the design and fashion industry’s most influential cities. We look towards the romance capital to lead the way in which Western European aesthetic trends will permeate retail markets and affect home decor and design in the US. Here are 10 trends which emerged from this year’s design show that you can expect to see popping up in home decor and fashion retailers in the upcoming year:
Color Trends from Maison Object
Bold 70s Style
From bright high-contrast color palettes to modular furniture and back-to-nature motifs, the 70s are back in a big way!
Muted Earth Tones
If the bright bold colors aren’t your thing, there’s good news for you! The other palette you can expect to see emerged is monochromatic, muted, and earthy.
Indigo
Need to energize your third eye chakra with a splash of Indigo? Lots of exhibitors at Maison were showcasing accents and art in this deep inky hue.
Style Trends From Maison Object
Raw Materials and Palm Fronds
Often, but not always an extension of the return of 70s style: Think peasant blouses and paisley gypsy patterns, but for your home on natural woods and wicker furnishings.
Animal Accents
Ceramics, prints, and accessories: Animal buddies are popping up at exhibitors everywhere at the Paris show.
Funky Dishware
Statement dishware perfectly pops against a modern, monochromatic dining space. We’re loving Because dishware and tabletop accessories are easily replaceable, especially seasonally, it’s a great area to purchase on-trend, as opposed to your furniture, which you are probably not going to swap out with the seasons.
Material Trends from Maison Objet
Ultra Modern Lighting
Furnishings may be trending retro, but new lighting is all about mixed metals, optical illusions, and other hidden features like built in USB ports.
Fossilized Style
Home accents that look like they’re excavated straight from the earth, like they’re ‘fossilized,’ were a refreshingly modern take on the naturalistic, earthy aesthetic. like they’re covered in lava.
Wood & Leather Combos
Wood and leather are like a match made in heaven! And this year at Maison showcased some beautiful pieces which perfectly bundled both.
Mixed Metallic Accents
This isn’t exactly a ‘new’ trend, but something you’ll continue to see everywhere is mixed metallic accents.
