Metal Meets Tranquility

Metal Moods

Metal Moods is inspired by a thoughtful fusion of opulent colours and reflective textures, glistering minerals and metallic surfaces. Warm metals such as gold, brass and copper can be used in the same interior scheme. Be daring and pair it alongside cooler metals such as silver or even platinum. The combination of different metals adds multiple layers of interest and dimension to any room. Get the look with Pirouette Shadings, Range: Satin Metallic or Fabric Collection: Aria Botanics. 

Tranquility

From the horizon to the different ocean waters, the shades of blue offers a serene feeling whilst promoting relaxation. This trend is drawn from the Pantone Colour of the Year. The blue tones create a naturally connected sense of space.

Blue matches almost any décor so look for ways that you can bring calm and quiet into your space – pictures of the sunset or even the ocean. Find and print an image that you love and place it where you will see it every day, for instance, on your bedside table to be seen as you wake every morning. Let that calm inspire you throughout the year. Get the look with Luxaflex fabric ranges Tahlya, Colour: Amalfi or Ethos, Colour: Aquamarine.

Luxaflex and Colourways 2014 Trend Forecast

Buckle up and get ready for the 2014 trends to take you on a journey through time. From simple pastels to majestic jewel-like hues, this year we’re anticipating developments in fashion that will ignite the senses and take interior design to the next level.

This year, Colourways, part of the Design Institute of Australia, have forecast the following four trends: Pioneering Spirit, Industrial Evolution, Sunday Matinee and Byzantine Princess to have an impact on the broader design industry.

How did these trends come about?
Colourways, in collaboration with various design industry experts, came together to reflect on the colours, patterns and textures which had an increasing presence in the industry as well as in normal day-to-day environments. They also worked together to select various items of inspiration to capture those colours and designs and represent what they believe would continue to evolve in the year ahead.

We’re thrilled to have three Luxaflex fabrics selected as items of inspiration for 2014. These fabrics are: Telopea (colour: Storm), Mauritius (colour: Drizzle) and Harper (colour: Papaya).

Pioneering Spirit celebrates the beauty in all natural landscapes. It encourages you to be inspired by the simple things around you and use them to recreate something magnificent.

The foundation of design today has been built from the bricks of history.  Industrial Evolution embraces the dark beauty of the past and transforms different textures and grains into something contemporary.

Sunday Matinee boasts a fresh and pastel colour pallet. Taking us back in time, soft colours and dusty hues are predicted to refresh and revive, harking back to a simpler era.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Byzantine Princess encourages us to awaken our inner royal and surpass the initial perceptions of our surroundings. Take control as you embrace rich jewel-like textures and colours.

Fabric Trends and Luxaflex

Inspiration for some of today’s greatest fashion masterpieces have been pulled from the most unconventional of places.  From the garments hanging in your wardrobe to the blinds dressing your living room, external factors and current trends have all, in one way or another, played a part in design and development.

As an industry leader, Luxaflex Window Fashions embraced the global and local textile trends and incorporated these into their fabric selection and development processes.

There are four trends which have taken the broader fashion industry by storm. These include: Geological Reflections, Impressions of Lace, Geometrics and Three Dimensional.

1. Geological Reflections

The first of the four trends is Geological Reflections, which boast the evolution of the organic and natural forms. A combination of vivid colours, reflective surfaces and shimmery hues, allows for glitz and glamour to be used in a far from traditional manner but instead in a free-flowing and imperfect way.  

2. Impressions Of Lace

Impressions of lace as the name suggests, is the use of delicate and dainty finishes as well as fine and detailed patterns and textures. This trend is mirrored in the Luxaflex range through fabrics such as Morea and Prague-Sheer which are soft and feminine yet still manage to make a statement and maintain a modern feel.  

3. Geometrics

The Geometrics trend is dominating the Fashion, Commercial and Residential textile sectors. Next time you find yourself flicking through the pages of a Home Décor or design magazine you’ll be surprised at the amount of different geometric patterns which have made their way into the homes of trend-setters! Luxaflex has adopted this trend and introduced fabrics that use a layered weaving technique to show its sophistication and geometric design.


4. Three Dimensional

The last trend - Three Dimensional has had a great influence on home interior design and particularly on textile designs and finishes. This trend has seen the introduction of elevated surfaces which allows the fabric to become quite interactive and really come to life.
