08 Integration Of Fashion And Home Will Become A Trend

What are the trends of China's home industry this year?

On the "2008 Home Development Trend Forecast Forum" held in Guangdong, authoritative experts from China Furniture Association, international fashion design network and domestic fashion media have forecasted and analyzed the future elements of home fashion. ---2008 will be a year of cross-border integration of fashion and home design. The bright color combination of metallic and rainbow colors has been widely used, and the concept of environmental protection will also be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The fusion of home and fashion in 2008, the integration of home design and fashion design is an obvious feature. This is the prediction of Zhang Meinan, editor in chief of Ruili residence design.

She believes that "at present, the world is experiencing cross-border integration. Fashion as part of the household is becoming more or more closely related to fashion trends.

Because fashion and furniture are inseparable, this year there will be a trend towards integration in both styles.

If Posey's style combines modern design, bold colors and splicing seem to be free and bold, and natural patterns are also more popular. The New Oriental style combines Chinese elements with European patterns and lines, while all kinds of Mashup are more personalized and produce alternative effects.

"Apart from style, she said, home and fashion are moving towards integration in many aspects such as material, stripes and colors.

Experts from abroad also put forward their own views on the trend of home development in 2008.

Jennifer Castoti, chief executive of the international fashion design consulting network, said that the shape design of furniture will be more exaggerated this year, which may give people the feeling of stretching with computer pictures, but it will have better functionality no matter what.

At the same time, because of the high housing prices in the city, folding furniture will become popular to meet the needs of small family residents, and furniture with multi-function and storage will also become one of the trends.

For example, the bottom of the stool can put tea tables or store things, and the sofa bottom can also be stacked with sundries.

In addition, furniture will also pay more attention to details, such as flower shaped, carved or carved, and combined with different materials such as wood and branches to enhance the overall aesthetic feeling of furniture.

Metal color may continue to be popular. Material and color are one of the most important concerns of the home industry in the future. In the prediction forum, experts believe that as in fashion, household products will also show more similarities in terms of material utilization in 2008.

According to Zhang Meinan, the noble materials such as fur and shiny quality materials are very suitable for creating a low-key luxury style, which is suitable for the current needs of people. This material will be used more in household products this year.

On the other hand, natural materials can be created by hand to create a unique natural style. It can be predicted that natural materials such as rattan and hemp will continue to be popular this year.

In addition, the metallic materials will also be used more broadly, especially in the ultra conventional design of lines, creating a super time and space style for the living room.

In terms of the popular color of home furnishing, Jennifer Castoti analysis thinks that this year's metal color will become popular in ceramics and home textiles, and it may continue to be popular for 2 to 3 years. The bright color combination of rainbow and other colors will also gradually enter the consumer's family.

Zhang Meinan believes that for some young people, the dream of innocence will have a preference for fruit color. As an interesting design, this fun style will also be popular this year.

In terms of stripes, broken lines, straight lines and slashes will be part of the fashion trend, and can be used to break down mediocrity at one stroke, so as to show vitality and modern flavor.

The concept and technology of environmental protection have been emphasized. "Production enterprises will pay more attention to environmental protection. This is the embodiment of corporate social responsibility, and at the same time, it can make consumers more comfortable."

"Jennifer Castoti said that furniture production enterprises can produce furniture with environmental protection materials, and can be made of wood chips combined with branches to make boards.

At the forum, she presented to the participants a furniture made of waste materials at this year's Bangkok Furniture Fair. This furniture is made of waste plastic refills which are often discarded by the pen makers. Each of the thin refills is combined into furniture surface, which is novel and unique and gives people a completely new feeling.

She also demonstrated the cooperation between furniture manufacturers and garment enterprises, and made reasonable use of the leftover materials for home decoration works. In cooperation with cosmetics manufacturers, the rest of the cosmetic waste was applied to paint and paint on the surface of wood so as to make the best use of the technology and products.

Although there are many furniture trends this year, Jennifer Castoti said that virtually all furniture products are not fashionable. Manufacturers and retailers have a certain proportion of fashion products.

Generally, the proportion of fashion furniture and non fashionable furniture is 10% to 20% and 80% to 90% respectively. As long as fashionable furniture has a ratio of 10% to 20%, it can drive the sale of other furniture, so we can not blindly pursue the high proportion of fashion furniture.
