Forget about straight lines and plains for a moment and embrace your inner child with the trend for playful prints and creative originality. The trend to be expressive and playful is coming through strongly in 2019 collections from Elitis and in the room sets we're seeing from trend setters. Like the stunning Juliette print from Elitis, pictured above and other Elitis examples below.
Be bold, be brave and with a few metallic touches in the mix, this playful trend is sure to excite and delight.

From powdery blush tones to animated coral hues – PINK is an on trend colour for 2019. One not to be overlooked for feature walls, furniture and accessories (Elitis Accessories featured above).

PANTONE'S colour of the year is living coral, described as "vibrant, yet mellow PANTONE 16-1546 – Living Coral embraces us with warmth and nourishment to provide comfort and buoyancy in our continually shifting environment."
From fashion catwalks to living rooms, the pink palette is wide and varied. Dusty lavender and lilac feature, so too rose and ballet hues of pink. Take a look at some of the blushing pinks from NEW COLLECTIONS at Seneca.

Creating homely spaces that are calming, quiet and oozing relaxed charm are important in any home. It might be a place to read on a Sunday afternoon, a bedroom or an evening haven with glass of vino in hand.

For sometime now the trend of wellbeing has been front and centre – whole foods, meditation, switching off and sourcing organic everything and anything.
SILENCE is an emerging trend for our places of residence, that takes a step deeper. It's thoughtful, mindful and intentional.

In stark contrast to the expressive, bold, somewhat 'show-off' furnishings we have for entertaining, energising and delighting, the furnishings we showcase in this email have their rightful place in quiet zones of your home.

It is well known that including soft furnishings helps to absorb noise, and if you select wall-coverings and fabrics with good acoustic properties, and work with a colour palette that calms, you can create the quiet retreat you seek. Silence is on trend.

Elitis, Peace: Touch

Peace from Elitis which is padded wallcovering with acoustic properties made to look like natural textures. Magnified, patterns become liberated, taking on amazing forms. The grains of virtual wood, punctuated with random graphics, ramble across the textured walls. Chunky knit, unravels verticals, led by giant hands. In subtle interplay, light and shadows chase each other, slaloming down geometric scales while soft honeycomb shapes evoke floor to ceiling building block playsets.

3D exceptionnal wallcovering.

Across many of the newly released collections this year we see a nod to the past, with a contemporary take on cultural patterning, mark-making and techniques. These designs take inspiration and influence from times past and add new context to make them entirely fitting to our modern homes.
Mark Alexander in particular have embraced this trend with a stunning collection of Printed and Embroidered Linens. Below we've shown a few of the many gems from this collection and others, that are subtle in execution, but make a defined design statement. 

Bringing new life to ancient geometric designs is on trend.
