I'm on a diet this summer. The Slimmer's World slogan "A Moment on the Lips is a Lifetime on the Hips" constantly resonates in my head and this fact, that there is a reaction to every action, holds true in trends.
Interiors in the 90s were still pale and minimal; IKEA told us to 'Chuck out the Chintz' and opt for simple sparse interiors. Decoration was minimal; only items that were graphically aesthetic and functional could remain on show. but slowly, we began to decorate. First there were retro analglypta wallpapers, then technology moved on so intricate laser cut prints could be cut, a whole plethora of patterns exploded, vintage became in vogue, colour got confident and before you knew it, minimalism was out and eclectic craft was in.
And the cycle needs to turn again, but we learn from what preceeds us and whilst STYLE NV predicts a return to minimalism, we are not asking you to paint your entire flat white, quite the opposite infact.
Colour blocking is a major trend right now on the catwalk and perfect for new minimalism. It's strong, simple and modern. The idea is that you mix two or three very bright plain colours together for a strong, vibrant and modern look. saffron, teal and magenta or jade, poppy and lemon.
