1 / Decorative trends: the Neo-rustic style is chic!

What is the neo-rustic style, you will tell me?

Well, this style is quite simply a clever mix of family furniture associated with design essentials, reclaimed woods that rub together with strong or sweet colors.

This movement reflects a pressing need to return to the sources of design to better revisit them.

2 / The decor trends of the French 70’s

Focus on color decoration trends. From pink, the most pastel to its raspberry shade, this is one of the trends of the moment. Greedy and positive color, the color pink offers itself a place of choice on our seats, whatever the material. In delicate patterns on walls or textiles, pink brightens up the atmosphere.

Khaki is not to be outdone, light or dark. Between green and brown, the khaki color is nuanced, organic and very easy to combine. With white, it shapes a winning cocoon. Combined with pastel shades, it is contrasted, with gray, it gives an industrial spirit and associated with black, it gains in elegance and sophistication.

The comeback of burgundy, this shade of dark red is just as stilted as usual. This shade halfway between red and purple permeates contemporary interiors.

Mineral tones inspired by nature. From terracotta to ocher through nude tones, not to mention beige and gray, this palette of mineral colors is very much in line with the current trend.

The materials are not left out, back to their roots, since we note that natural materials such as travertine, dark wood or textured wood, brass and also frosted glass are making a big comeback in decorating trends. .

• With its matte finish, the frosted effect glass nevertheless warms the mood on all tables for next season. In colored version or not, it adds a chic and trendy note that changes classic glass. Suspensions, display cabinets and even glass roofs succumb to it for a less smooth and more inspiring decor.
