Design trends to look for
As the world of interior design continues to evolve, new trends are shaping the way we think about our spaces. Whether you're refreshing a single room or working on a full renovation, keeping up with the latest design movements can provide fresh inspiration and creative direction. At Design Edge Nashville, you'll find some of the most exciting trends on display, from eco-conscious materials to bold new color palettes. Here's a look at the top trends to watch for and where to spot them during the event.
Sustainability
Sustainability continues to be a driving force in design, with an emphasis on eco-friendly materials, ethical sourcing, and thoughtful production methods. Fabrics like those used in our Gustav collection highlight this movement, featuring GMO-free and organic materials. This mirrors the environmental commitment of RATTI, a leading textile company, whose strategy focuses on circular business practices, renewable electricity, and minimizing the use of chemicals, waste, and CO2 emissions. Brands prioritizing longevity and craftsmanship, like Jaipur Living with their sustainable rug collections, exemplify the beauty and responsibility of eco-conscious design.
Mixing textures
Layering different textures is a key trend for adding depth and interest to interiors. Combining materials like velvet, leather, linen, and natural wood brings a tactile richness to a space. It’s all about creating a sensory experience that feels inviting and dynamic. This trend can be seen in everything from Vanguard’s custom upholstery to Currey & Co’s lighting fixtures, where mixed materials like metal, glass, and woven elements come together beautifully.
Quiet luxury
Quiet luxury is all about understated elegance, focusing on quality materials and timeless design rather than flashy, trend-driven looks. Think plush, well-crafted furniture, subtle color palettes, and pieces that exude sophistication without shouting for attention. Vanguard Furniture’s collections often embody this trend, offering pieces that are chic, minimal, and made to last.
Fashion colors in the home
Fashion colors are making their way into home decor, with bold, runway-inspired hues like jewel tones, deep blues, and rich earth tones becoming popular choices. These colors can be used in statement pieces like upholstered furniture or as accent walls and decor. Look to Wendover Art and Leftbank Art for vibrant, color-forward artwork, or explore Currey & Co’s lighting for pops of fashion-forward hues in their designs.
