Curtains: 2008 Forecast

Reports from the most recent Heimtex International Trade Fair indicate that no new fabric trends are emerging in 2008.

Neuendorf Interiors Soft Furnishings Manager, Lyn Beguely says it’s not uncommon for fabric fashion to remain current for several years.

“While we may not be seeing anything ‘new’, that’s not to say that the fabric range isn’t exciting and innovative. Many designs are versatile and timeless and can add a lavish quality to traditional interiors and warm up minimalist designs without compromising that edgy modern look,” she said.

Graeme Kennish, Hoad’s Product Development Manager agrees and says, “sheers are still going strong with metallic and high lustre yarns, while romantic images and French Chintz designs are looking fresh and dynamic while beautiful coordinate ranges incorporating prints, jacquards, solids and sheers are inspiring.”

Nick Bippus, Director at The Bricos Group, says that global window fashion trends continue to be dominated by texture, in both blinds and curtains.

“Minimalistic roller and roman blinds are being softened when used with modern sheers and drapery fabrics. Bold and strong colours are emerging once again in drapery, with limes, oranges, and earthy tones on the agenda for the coming seasons,” he said.

The clean sophisticated lines of blinds and shutters continue to be strong as they complement architectural features of homes.
