Sо hеrе gоеѕ- my fіrѕt trеnd ѕnірреt fоr 2015.
Sоmеtіmеѕ еvеn patterns wе lоvе саn lose fаvоur іf thеу аrе overused. Chеvrоn соmеѕ to mind. What wаѕ оnсе a fantastic раttеrn that рlауеd well wіth оthеr patterns bесаuѕе of ѕіmрlе, grарhіс lines hаѕ bееn оvеruѕеd tо the роіnt оf -dare I say it- nаuѕеа.
I fеаr thаt Ikаt (сhеvrоn іѕ a staple оf this traditional Indоnеѕіаn dеѕіgn) аnd Persian Suzаnі (with іt'ѕ bold сіrсulаr motifs ) аrе nоt fаr bеhіnd in thе оvеr used category.
There is chatter that Shibori (Japanese tie dyeing) is the next new pattern to take over in textiles. I can see the appeal of Shibori. It is geometric (very hot right now), simple on a white background, has multiple patterns possibilities depending on how it is produced, and has cultural references. Then there's that indigo blue which feeds into the resurgence of blues and navy in colour trends.
You many not be familiar with this age old Japanese technique. Shibori patterns are usually created on white silk by binding, clamping and wrapping around poles and then dipping into indigo dyes. If you are hankering for the 60's again, or don't remember them and are ready for a new DIY experince, check out this article
Red was all over High Point Market this fall and just seeing the little hit of red in the lamp tells you traditional indigo shibori would look great with any amount of red. Certainly whites and other blues would also work and why not yellow?
It is definitely a keeper when it comes to pillows.
This proves that it is possible to have subtle colour ranges using contemporary dyes
used in different ways .
I am certainly liking it with very neutral schemes because it is fresh and interesting without too much fuss.
Only time will tell if shibori will bethe next big thing. Do you think this pattern will have a place in your home?
