Two fresh interior design trends for the new season

Trend 1- Botanics

Botanics is about blurring the lines between interior and exterior by bringing nature indoors. It is about stepping into the palette of the mysterious jungle mixed with muddy hues. Botanics clashes patterns, styles and colours to create an unexpected indoor haven. Aria Botanics is the perfect blend of an understated palette mixed with beautiful textures and prints.


In September, the Luxaflex Designer Series fabric collection introduces Aria Botanics. Aria Botanics uses the extravagance of metal to deliver a highly sophisticated and different take on a botanic print. Aria Botanics is all about the opulence in you, where the use of metallic printing brings the fabric to life, in a way that guarantees that second glance.


This range is a great representation of how the current home interior styling trends and colours can come together. Aria Botanics draws on the use of the 'Cooler Than You' colour ways for the base fabric, where a print pattern relating to the Botanics trend adopts subtle aspects of metal for that added wow. This translucent fabric collection is available in the same 3 base colours as its matching plain blockout and translucent counterparts. The fabric offer is for Roller Blind applications, for that ultra-contemporary styling solution.



Not a fan of print? Series T500, part of the Luxaflex Classic fabric collection also draws inspiration from Botanics. The horizontal wood grain with a combination of coloured yarns creates an almost natural woody bark look. Colours such as Rock, Jute and Rococo draw inspiration on nature and is a popular choice for both modern and traditional decor. Available in 10 matching blockout and translucent colours for Roller Blind, Panel Glide and Roman Shade applications, it is the perfect understated way of bringing a little bit of nature indoors.


Trend 2 - Cooler Than You

Cooler Than You is inspired by an understated palette of soft white and cream. It evokes a feeling of inner space and lightness. Minimalism and balance are at the heart of this trend. Neutrals as always creates balance, and when intertwined with textures and soft patterns, it brings neutral palettes to life.


Marblo, a new Luxaflex Designer Series fabric is inspired by a marble translucent print in organic colour ways. This collection is ready to reinvent the wheel for printed fabrics. The true appearance of the marble print is one that will be the new classic take in textiles perfectly aligning with the 'Cooler Than You' trend. Marblo is a welcomed surprise to the eye, and available for Roller Blind applications, suitable for any room with the desire of creating the ultimate haven.


Why impress with entire walls consisting of only marble, when you can have it on your window? You really don't even need to decorate much more if you have your entire window dressed in Marblo to create a big statement in your room.


If Marble is not your thing, Classic Series fabric Caspien is also inspired by the Cooler Than You Trend. Colours such as Frost, Chalk, Lusta and Shake play on the soft whites and creams, but the strong texture of contrasting yarn gives the fabric a look of depth and interest. Inspired by the classic linen look with a modern twist, Caspien is available in 10 matching translucent and blockout colours for Roller Blind, Panel Glide, Roman Shade and Vertical (Translucent only) Applications.

Love Shack TV

A month ago, the Luxaflex team joined forces with Bec, George and their new baby Archie from the Block to transform a humble 1970's shack. The 6 part series followed the challenges of renovating a beach front property in Tasmania with the hopes of maximising the space and making this renovator's delight their holiday home or 'love shack'. 


Bec had a vision to create a place that was both inviting and restful, and inspired by the coastal beauty surrounding the property. The colour palette was a mixture of greys, indigo and greens, where the soft furnishings chosen were a wonderful array of wools, linens and furs.

 

With the help of Luxaflex Gallery dealer Fabrique, Bec and George found the perfect window covering for the theming of the Love Shack. Luxaflex Silhouette Shadings combine the beautiful characteristics of curtains, shades and blinds in a stunning design like no other. Silhouette Shadings can be opened for a full, soft focus view, closed for privacy or tilted for light control. We love a good make over, and definitely think that the window covering choice was perfect for that 'oh so awesome view'.
