A trend is a transformation in behavior which is started by a small part of the population and starts to slowly spread until
enough people finally give in and choose to accept it as part of their lifestyle.

“Mixing warm metals,
such as copper and
rose gold, with cool
ones like silver is
particularly hot right
now.” says London
based Kelly Hoppens.
Mixed Metals is stated to be a big trend in
2015. It could be silver and gold finish used
together or even Brass and Gold.

Thom Filicia suggests a
“strategic, layered mix” of
silvery, gold and black metals
as a “riskier and more stylish”
option

Jamie Bush, say, “I
am no longer
interested in
matching every
metal finish in a
single room.”

MATT FINISHES

A matte finish gives
an object a raw,
edgy look and also
allows appreciation
of the actual
material that a
product is made of

seen in everything
from furniture to
accessories to
lighting to fitting
and even entire
rooms.

INDUSTRIAL FINISHES

This can be seen as a
move towards
convenience,
functionality and
longevity rather than
just statement and style.

mass produced
items.

towards the raw
look of things, and
we are heading
away from faux
finishes, and more
authentic finishes.

There is also a lot
of focus in mixing
textures. So we are
mixing raw with
glamour and steel
with wood.

Jared Fowler for The Design Files This is a great
colour that
easily goes
with other
colours and fits
in almost any
style; minimal
to glam.

This color is
inspired by the
wine of the
same name,
and it suggests
sophistication,
style and
heartiness at
the same time
