Now Trending: African Mud Cloth Wall Art
Every few years or so a major wall art trend emerges, and suddenly we find ourselves hanging dozens of typography-inspired prints, or ink-blot art, or marquee signs around New York. Recently, we’re seen an explosion in art made from African Mud cloth, and we’re calling it the next big wall art trend.
Wall Art Trends: What’s In and What’s Out for 2016
If revamping your home is on your list of new year’s resolutions, one of the best and easiest places to start is by sprucing up your walls. Wall art is among the most personal and versatile elements of home decor, and an area where you can truly have fun and express your style. This year is shaping up to be an especially fun one when it comes to wall decor trends, too–it’s been years (maybe decades even), since so many diverse, mixed-media styles were considered this chic. Before you start your wall art shopping, check out this list of what’s in and what’s out when it comes to wall art this year.
The Biggest Wall Art Trends for 2016
True, it’s only September and the new year is still a ways away, but fashion week in New York has reminded us that the design worlds are always looking a few seasons ahead. Plus, with our constant immersion in wall art and decor through our client projects, we’ve already spotted some key wall art trends that are set to blow up next year. So we’ve decided to put together our list of predictions for what everyone will be hanging on their walls in 2016.
Wall Art Trend: Rattan Mirrors
After a few years of hanging hundreds of metallic silver and gold sunburst mirrors–above beds, in powder rooms, as part of gallery walls–we’ve noticed a new trend in the popular shape: the natural look. The latest craze in sunburst mirrors is all about earthy fibers like rattan, bamboo, and wicker, which achieve a look that’s, quite literally, more down-to-earth.
Wall Decor Trends From High Point Market
One of our team members recently had a chance to go down to North Carolina for High Point Market, one of the furniture and home decor industry’s largest trade shows. Thousands of exhibitors show off their best-sellers, their new introductions, and what’s coming down the pipeline. It’s the place to start spotting industry trends for the following year.
Wall Art Trends: Typography, Love It or Hate It?
As far as recent wall art trends go, the only one that seems to be able to come close to the popularity of the gallery wall is typography. We see it everywhere, constantly, whether it’s a Subway sign, a favorite quote, or a single monogram letter. In general, we like the trend. While there are a lot of bad fonts out there, if typography is done right, it can look stylish and feel fresh.
