The biggest international home fabrics trade show, Heimtextil, was held last week in Cologne, Germany. During the show, a panel of designers and trend forecasters unveiled the latest trends in home fabrics. Home fabrics includes carpets, throw pillows, curtains, etc. The terms used to describe the home fabrics trends include:

Sobriety or traditional patterns and manufacturing techniques with a focus on quality craftsmanship.

Mix Mash or a blend of international-inspired designs with bright colors and ethnic motifs

Utility or simple yet advanced, high-performance textiles

Wilderness or texture-rich organic-looking fabrics for a rustic look

These guiding design styles reflect today’s current philosophies and tastes as well as economic situation and consumer preference. They extend beyond home fabrics and can be seen in all types of home decor.
