Read Between the Lines

Two weeks ago, I posted about the growing strength of orange as a focus color in both fashion and home. I continue to see hues of orange emerging in both worlds, from plates, to chairs and runway gowns. This week orange appears as a part of intricate geometric designs in home decor.

The focus of the latest issue of Traditional Home magazine is on intricate Eames era style patterns, used from rugs, to sofas, to scarves. However, rather than being crafted in the pop colors of the 50's, the patterns are in alternative color hues that are more reminiscent of the 70's and 80's. These designs paired with classic pieces, create a home and fashion design that is both elegant and modern. I believe that we will continue to see these types of patterns as the year continues.

For seasonal, we have used geometric patterns in our packaging in the past. The mix of fine line detail with alternate hues of red and green create a pop modern holiday look.
