There are several major trends in interior design. Designers offer to return to tradition, to make a home a place where you can stop and take a break from the "eternal run" for modern technology. Heavy wooden furniture with inlays, draperies from fabrics of saturated colors with complex patterns, an abundance of accessories - everything that brings us back to the times of the XV-XVI centuries. Among the new products of LORIS ZANCA there were a lot of rich fabrics - jacquards with classical patterns and complex textures, connecting velvet and silk on one canvas, damasks, patinated silk with plant prints ... The fashion for velvet and skin with elegant embossed baroque style again returned .

Another view on traditionalism is a return to basics when the design of living space is realized with the help of natural materials - wood, stone, baked clay, wicker, fabrics made of cotton, flax and wool. These natural textures can be both pristine-clear and decorated with various patterns, reliefs, paints of restrained colors. The main thing - simplicity and naturalness. Eco-producers offer simple paper wallpaper with a barely noticeable pattern or without it at all, natural unpainted fabrics from flax, chintz, canvas, matting, coarse or fine wool. For example, the finest white organdy curtain, embroidered with linen thread or decorated with linen edge. Preference is given to the natural range - white, beige, gray colors. Among the drawings, stylized flower ornaments, which will appeal to lovers of conservative classics, and small flowers for country-style lovers are popular. The perfect complement will be massive linen brushes, round wooden or forged cornice, screens, tablecloths, napkins with homespun lace and richelieu elements. Thus, the company SIMTA presented at the exhibition upholstery fabric in ethnic style, and the company KENZO manufactured for YVES DELORME bedding in patchwork style.

Another direction proposed by designers is diametrically opposed to the first and leads to the world of modern technologies - new materials, unusual combinations of colors and textures, contrasting forms - everything that can sharpen vision and tactile sensations. Huge prints are still popular, and this time among the images are French motifs (bandelwerk, cartouche, cupids) and Italian (floral ornaments). The abundance of photoprints on both fabrics and wallpaper attracted attention. Here and the types of cities, and famous artists, and even comics and posters. From the color range, emphasis was placed on red, purple, rich green and mustard color, which coexisted with various shades of gray and blue. Among the contrasting color combinations - yellow and black, which looked most advantageous at the company's booth. ANDREW MARTIN.
