Since 2009, I’ve been working in the interior design industry. I’ve interned for a hospitality design company, worked in various furniture and fabric showrooms, and been an interior designer for a design-build firm. I decided to hang out my shingle and launch m studio interior design in 2015. And now I get to do what I love best: Design homes that are totally customized to the clients I work with!
Hey there friends! Megan here, back from an electrifying (and slightly exhausting lol) adventure at the annual Kitchen & Bath Industry Show, otherwise known as KBIS. Let me tell you, folks, it was an absolute whirlwind of inspiration, creativity, and trend-spotting galore!
Picture this: walking through the seemingly endless aisles of KBIS, I couldn’t help but be swept away by the mesmerizing array of innovative designs and cutting-edge concepts. But what stole the show this year for me were the three forecasted trends that I just had to share with all of you. A Splash of Color, Nature’s Embrace, and Textural Magic!
First up, let’s talk about color! Oh, how I adore the bold and vibrant hues that graced the showroom floors. From striking cobalt blues to cheerful lemon yellows, every corner seemed to burst with personality and charm. It was apparent that the use of these exciting colors are to enhance personal expression in the home. It’s all about injecting a sense of joy and playfulness into our living spaces, and trust me, it’s a trend that’s here to stay!
Next on our journey of design discovery is the captivating embrace of organic forms. Nature truly took center stage at KBIS, as designers celebrated the beauty of the natural world in their creations. Think sleek curves inspired by flowing rivers, and elegant shapes reminiscent of lush foliage. It’s about bringing the tranquility of the outdoors inside, creating a harmonious sanctuary where we can reconnect with nature in our everyday lives.
But wait, there’s more! Prepare to be dazzled by the enchanting allure of textural surfaces. From velvety soft finishes to rugged stone textures, there’s something truly magical about the tactile experience of these design elements. It’s all about adding depth and dimension to our spaces, creating visual interest and inviting touch in equal measure.
As I reflect on my time at KBIS, I can’t help but feel a renewed sense of excitement and inspiration!! These trends aren’t just about aesthetics; they’re about creating spaces that nourish our souls and uplift our spirits. So whether you’re dreaming of a kitchen renovation or a bathroom makeover, remember to infuse a little bit of color, a touch of nature, and a whole lot of texture into your design journey.
Until next time, stay fabulous, my fellow design aficionados! And remember, the world is your canvas – so why not paint it with a splash of these shared design trends!
Xoxo,
Megan
