New kitchen trend: coolroom
2008-03-25 15:21:00 Kitchens are continuing to change in an interesting way. After the general trend about kitchens being integrated into living areas, kitchens expanding to the Great Outdoors and use of intelligent appliances in kitchens , now a new cool idea - some designers say the coolroom is a growing trend for large families and keen entertainers. It can be a Walk in Fridge or it can "run in an L-shape under the stairs. Most-used items, such as milk and butter,will go in door shelves and the walls will be fitted with pull-out drawers andshelves for everything from wine to fruit and vegetables."

Limited Edition - the New Trend
2008-03-13 19:22:00 With the border line between art and design fast dissipating more and more companies are beginning to produce limited editions of exclusive design furniture and galleries are investing in these as in art.

I like this trend - I like the idea of collecting practical art - something that inspires you along with serving you well!One great example of such 'practical art' are the whimisical, yet luxurious creations from the Portugal furniture company Boca Do Lobo, each limited to a production of only 20 pieces: Forest SideboardMondrianTrinityBelow are the latest models - they are a new development of the existing model Pearls, but with new finishes and are a pre-view of their new collection "Coolors" - Passion Furniture.http://www.bocadolobo.com/Techn orati Tags:trends, trendspotting,design, furniture,interior design, news,eventshome f...

The Face of Interior Design 2008 - Trends

There is an abundancy of trendspotting and forecasting articles and many of them contain some common trends - like the announced earlier by Pantone Blue Iris for color of 2008 , (Pantone's Color of the Year Is... - New York Times), now added is the yellow featured by International Team of colour experts at ICI Paints as part of the 2008/2009 themes. "These are not the colors the design industry is telling you to use, these are the colors the design industry thinks you subconsciously want to use," writes Susan Fornoff, Chronicle Staff WriterI think that trends are just floating in the air and it is the creative people like artists and designers that first sense them. Then they incorporate these into their works. What the agencies are doing, is just to report what they have found (or to try to influence the public). Still, most of the trends that appear are connected with the state of our society and the way we think at the moment... More About: Design , Trends , Face , Interior
