Looking to 2016: Galaxy Trend



It is both futuristic and whimsical, both angular and soft. The Galaxy trend mixes bubble gum pastels with hard geometry, which can be seen in surface design, jewelry, and furniture. Plastic and translucent fabrics can be seen, and the repetition of triangles gives this trend a bit of mystery. The color story is naturally inspired by the ultraviolet images of the heavens, while also referencing highly manufactured pigments and textures.




Mirrored sunglasses and moonstone necklaces set the tone. Dresses appear in bubblegum colors with symmetrical geometric patterns, or plain with one highly detailed image showcased in the center. Crystals and jewelry take on a holographic affect and mimic the aurora borealis skies. High shine plastic-like materials are paired with leathers and cottons.

Home décor takes on a geometric candy wonderland, light in color, but angular in shape. Natural geodes and stalactite crystals are set in boxy metal frames in lighting fixtures and side tables. The triangle pattern can be seen in carpets, upholstery, and playful wall hangings. Geometric facets are on display in both crystal curtain rods and terracotta hanging planters.











Light colored metallic finishes carry over into the holiday season. Matte silver and rose gold pair nicely with pastel colored epoxies and glitter. Bubble gum pink and muted sea green accents are a futuristic and whimsical take on the classic red and green.
