Different home textile patterns have different emotional expressions. Emotion evaluation of home textile patterns can effectively improve the retrieval performance of home textile patterns based on semantics. It can not only help designers make full use of existing designs and stimulate creative inspiration but also help users select designs and products that are more in line with their needs. In this study, we develop a three-stage framework for home textile pattern emotion labeling based on artificial intelligence. To be specific, first of all, three kinds of aesthetic features, i.e., shape, texture, and salient region, are extracted from the original home textile patterns. Then, a CNN (convolutional neural network)-based deep feature extractor is constructed to extract deep features from the aesthetic features acquired in the previous stage. Finally, a novel multi-view classifier is designed to label home textile patterns that can automatically learn the weight of each view. The three-stage framework is evaluated by our data and the experimental results show its promising performance in home textile patterns labeling.

Introduction

Emotion is the spiritual essence of home textile design. Fabric pattern is an important component of home textiles, which contains rich emotional information, including aesthetics and values. Therefore, fabric patterns rich in connotation and emotion are more and more respected by designers, which can meet the multiple needs of consumers. However, the pattern materials in home textile design and production are increasing day by day, and there are tens of thousands of patterns in the sample database. It is difficult for designers to make full use of the existing rich fabric patterns for home textile design. Therefore, how to integrate the objective characteristics (color, texture, pattern, etc.) and perceptual experience of fabric patterns into a mathematical model for aesthetic evaluation, emotional classification and retrieval, and emotion labeling of fabric patterns is one of the important topics for computer vision and textile design researchers.

With the continuous development of computer science, AI (artificial intelligence) and CV (computer vision) provide ideas and methods to solve this problem. Gan et al. (2014) made use of deep self-taught learning to obtain hierarchical representations, learn the concept of facial beauty, and produce human-like predictor. Datta and Wang (2010) established the first image aesthetics scoring website ACQUINE in 2010. Although the accuracy of the evaluation results is not high, it has shown that calculable aesthetics is feasible. Li and Chen (2009) adopted the features of color and composition in artistic aesthetic features to realize the classification of high and low aesthetic sense of paintings, and achieved a classification accuracy of more than 70%. Lo et al. (2012) studied image aesthetic classification from the aesthetic perspective of image color, layout, edge, and other features, and the results showed that image aesthetic features could be used for image sentiment analysis. With the development of deep learning, many deep learning based methods are also used for image aesthetic classification. Lu et al. (2015) considered both the local and global perspectives of images, designed the CNN (convolutional neural network) model for feature learning and classifier training, and evaluated the aesthetic quality of 250,000 images from AVA database. Compared with the traditional manual feature methods, this method has a great improvement in classification performance. Dong et al. (2015) used the CNN model trained by ImageNet large physical classification database to extract image features and classify high and low aesthetic values. The effectiveness of this method was proved in two image quality evaluation data sets. The above CNN-based aesthetic classification methods all use the pixel values of sample images in the large database as the input of CNN, without integrating the existing mature manual features. It is often very difficult to obtain a large number of home textile design patterns. Using relatively small and limited image aesthetic data sets for training will easily to lead to problems of overfitting and unstable convergence.

In this study, to achieve home textile emotion labeling, we propose a multi-view learning framework that contains three main components. The first component is used to extract initial multi-view features from the shape, texture, and salient region perspectives. The second component is used to extract deep features from the initial multi-view features by CNN. The last component is used to collaboratively learn from multi-view deep features.

Data And Methods

Data

We employed 20 students from the School of Textile and Clothing of Nantong University to collect 5000 home textile patterns from the Internet. All images were re-sized into 256*256 for further use. We also invited another 10 students to conduct subjective aesthetic evaluation on these collected patterns. Students calibrated all the images from three aspects of high aesthetic feeling, low aesthetic feeling, and uncertainty. When the emotion evaluation labels with eight or more participants were the same, this label was determined as the final label of the pattern. After removing the uncertain labels, we finally obtained labeled 4,480 patterns. Sample images and the number of sample images of high and low aesthetic are shown in Figure 1.

We used image clipping and horizontal flipping to enhance the patterns, and intercepted 4 corners and the middle image for mirror processing. After data enhancement, there are 25,000 patterns in each class (high aesthetic patterns and low aesthetic patterns).

Ethics

The studies involving human participants were reviewed and approved by ethics committee of Nantong University.

Written informed consent to participate in this study was provided by the participants.

Methods

In this study, we construct a three-stage method for home textile emotion labeling. The first stage is to extract initial shape features, texture features, and salient region features from home textile patterns. The second stage is a CNN-based feature extractor that is used to extract deep features from different aesthetic views from original home textile patterns. With deep features, in the second stage, we design a multi-view classifier to realize emotion labeling. The three-stage framework of emotion labeling is shown in Figure 2.

Acquisition of Initial Multi-View Features

As shown in Figure 2, the initial aesthetic features of home textile contain shape features, texture features, and salient region features. Shape is one of the main characters of design pattern, which can be described by the edge. The edge of an image is a collection of points where the gray value is discontinuous or the gray value changes dramatically. In this study, we use the Sobel operator ( Gao et al., 2010) to detect the edge of an image. Texture is a very important content in fabric pattern, which contains many aesthetic features that affect the sense of beauty. The frequency and direction of Gabor filter ( Mehrotra et al., 1992) are similar to that of human visual system, which is suitable for image texture feature description. Therefore, in this study, Gabor features are used to represent texture features. The saliency region of an image is the region that attracts the most visual attention and has a more significant influence on the aesthetic feeling of the image. The saliency value of a pixel is defined by the contrast between the pixel and other pixel in the image. Pixels of the same color have the same salience. In this study, we use the LC (Luminance Contrast) ( Zhai and Shah, 2006) algorithm to extract salience region features. Figure 3 illustrates an example of initial multi-view features.

Deep Multi-View Feature Learning

In this study, CNN ( Sainath et al., 2013; Kalchbrenner et al., 2014; O'Shea and Nash, 2015; Albawi et al., 2017) is employed to extract deep features from home textile patterns from different views. The initial features in shape, texture, and salience region are first constructed following the methods discussed in section 'Acquisition of Initial Multi-View Features'. The network structure of our deep feature extractor is shown in Figure 4.

(1) Input layer: in this layer, we reduce each original three-channel image of 256*256*3 size to 10 images of 224*224* 3 size by random cropping.

(2) The first convolution layer (Con-1): in this layer, the input images are reduced into 55*55 feature maps by 48 convolutional kernels (the kernel size is 11*11 and the step size is 4). Because the response result of ReLU (Rectified Linear Units) is unbounded (it can be very large), normalization is required. Here, LRN (Local Response Normalization) ( Robinson et al., 2007) is used to perform local response normalization.

(3) The second convolution layer (Con-2): in this layer, we use 128 convolutional kernels (the kernel size is 5*5 and the step size is 2) to further extract features from the 48 feature maps (the kernel size is 27* 27) generated by the last layer.

(4) The third convolution layer (Con-3): in this layer, we use 192 convolutional kernels (the kernel size is 3*3 and the step size is 1) to generate 192 feature maps (13* 13).

Our feature extractor uses the final output to calculate the approximation error and performs back propagation to update the network parameters during training. When the training process is done, the output of the penultimate layer is selected as the deep features learned by our feature extractor. Therefore, the deep features we extracted not only have lower dimensionality than the original features but also possess better discrimination ability to enhance the generalizability of the subsequent classification model.

Multi-View Learning

In this section, we will develop a multi-view classifier ( Jiang et al., 2016; Qian et al., 2018) for emotion labeling based on the deep multi-view features that are extracted by the CNN-based deep feature extractor shown in Figure 2. The basic idea is that the Shannon Entropy is introduced to the Ridge Regression (SERR) model to automatically identify the weight of each view. With view weights, the deep shape features, deep texture features, and deep salient region features are combined to achieve collaborate learning. Suppose X k represents the training feature set of the kth view, Y represents the emotion label of the training set, then the objective function of the new classifier SERR is formulated as follows:

where ωk represents the weight of the kth view, W k represents the corresponding transformation matrix, and γ and δ are two parameters to control the penalization terms. The objective function in Equation (1) can be solved by introducing Lagrangian multipliers. To be specific, by introducing the Lagrangian multipliers τ, the corresponding Lagrangian function can be formulated as

With W k and ωk, we can use the alternate iteration to search for the optimal solution. The detailed steps of home textile emotion labeling using deep multi-view feature learning are shown as in Algorithm 1.

After the training procedure is done, for an unseen textile pattern, we use Algorithm 2 to perform emotion labeling.

Results

In this section, we will evaluate our new emotion labeling method from two perspectives, i.e., the effectiveness of the deep feature extractor and the effectiveness of the multi-view classifier.

Settings

To evaluate the effectiveness of the deep feature extractor, we first reshape the original shape features, texture features, and the saliency region features from two-dimensional matrices to one-dimensional vectors and then introduce several traditional feature selection methods for discriminant feature selection. The settings of the introduced feature selection methods are shown in Table 1.

Additionally, to evaluate the effectiveness of the multi-view classifier SERR we proposed, we directly concatenate all features from different views and use classic classifiers SVM (Support Vector Machine), KNN (K-Nearest Neighbor), NB (Naive Bayes), and DT (Decision Tree) for classification. The settings of the introduced feature selection methods are shown in Table 2.

All experiments are conducted on a PC with Intel ® Core™ i7-9700 @3.00 GHz Dual, 32G memory, and RTX 2080 Ti. The coding platform is Matlab 2012b.

Experimental Results

In this section, we will report our experimental results from two aspects. First of all, our deep feature extractor is used to extract deep features from each initial view. For comparison studies, four commonly used feature selection methods MRMR, l ₂₁-norm, PCA, and Relief are also introduced to select discriminant features from each initial view. The Ridge Regression model is taken as the classifier for the classification tasks in each view. Tables 3- 5 show the classification results in terms of Accuracy, Sensitivity, and Specificity on each view.

Additionally, to highlight our proposed multi-view learning method SERR, with the deep features from different views, we introduce SVM, KNN, DT, and NB as classifiers for comparison studies. Table 6 shows the classification results in terms of Accuracy, Sensitivity, and Specificity on each view.

Discussion And Conclusion

With the improvement of automation of home textile production and design and the increasing number of stored home textile pattern images in enterprises, the traditional retrieval methods can no longer meet the needs of home textile manufacturers. It is necessary to conduct aesthetic evaluation and emotional analysis of home textile pattern, so as to provide better services to enterprises and consumers.

Currently, there are two main ways for home textile enterprises to search home textile design patterns. One is to manually classify and number home textile patterns, which is mainly used for enterprise management. However, a large amount of management storage will cause a waste of resources in all aspects. The other is to establish an image retrieval system for the pre-classified home textile patterns, but it needs to manually classify each pattern. However, it requires human classification of each pattern, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and not all home textile patterns can be expressed with keywords or symbols, so it is difficult to meet the different retrieval needs of different searchers.

With the development of AI, especially deep learning, in this study, to achieve home textile emotion labeling, we propose a multi-view learning framework that contains three main components. The first component is used to extract initial multi-view features from the shape, texture, and salient region perspectives. The second component is used to extract deep features from the initial multi-view features by CNN. The last component is used to collaboratively learn from multi-view deep features. We demonstrate our method from two perspectives. From the results shown in Tables 3- 5, we see that the features extracted by our deep feature extractor drives the best classifier in each kind of features in terms of Accuracy, Sensitivity, and Specificity, respectively. This superiority indicates that deep features are more discriminant than the initial features obtained in the first stage. Additionally, from Table 6, we see that our proposed multi-view classifier SERR performs better than the traditional classifiers, SVM, KNN, DT, and NB, which means that collaborative learning in multiple feature space is more reliable than direct feature concatenation.

The experimental results show that the emotional labeling method proposed in this study realizes the emotional labeling of home textile patterns, provides an auxiliary retrieval method for consumers who want to buy home textile with certain emotional semantics, provides convenience for enterprises in the production and design of home textile patterns, and can meet the multiple needs of consumers. In our future work, we will consider more kinds of deep features and develop more deep feature extractors for emotion labeling.

Natural materials like linen, wool and wood immediately lend an organic, vibrant quality to any home. The natural connection is especially apparent from last year’s DIY boom, with many walls now adorned by macramé – decorative art made by knotting wool. Cushions and blankets made of woven and braided wool in muted cream tones also create a natural and cosy look. Organic patterns and structures inspired by nature are now a must in every home.

Catapulted straight into the 2022 textile trends from the fashion world, “organic camouflage” gives camo patterns a makeover. In warm earth and pastel shades, this on-trend motif calls to mind soft, sandy beaches, the sea or the forest. On a rug or a cushion, “organic camouflage” creates a vibrant look when paired with a low-key couch.

There's nothing like a little Paris to stoke a design lover's imagination, and the fall edition of the semiannual Maison & Objet fair-which included an expanded universe of design events under the banner of Paris Design Week-certainly did not disappoint. From showroom installations to exhibitions to displays at the fairground itself, these are the top home design trends we can't get off our minds.

Old Is the New New

We've been seeing designers play with recycled or repurposed materials for some time now, but in Paris, makers and artists took humble or found materials to another level. Designer Sandra Benhamou's Paris Design Week installation at Galerie Vauclair, for example, showcased a custom chandelier constructed from vintage Murano glass pieces from the Veronese archives, presiding over her new sofa and cocktail table designs. Together, they created a svelte tableau that nodded to the very-in louche stylings of the 1970s while celebrating the past's continued relevance-and material integrity.

On the other end of the spectrum, India Mahdavi's satellite exhibition, G reetings from Greece, presented in collaboration with Athens-based Carwan Gallery, was revelatory in its mundanity. The young designer Savvas Laz stood out for his Trashformers series, in which he transforms styrofoam from discarded consumer electronics packaging with fiberglass and pop-y hues. The resulting mirrors and chairs look like they're made from powder-coated steel, but weigh only a few pounds.

Forget Color Blocking: Meet Pattern Blocking

Pattern was pronounced at Paris Design Week this year, and designers' maximalist installations spurred the emotions as much as the imagination. Design darling Laura Gonzalez showcased an epic conflation of prints at her eponymous gallery (see image above), layering signature Schumacher fabrics in luxe expanses. The fabric house's newly opened showroom, a few blocks away, was equally dizzying in the best way possible.

Designers Are Getting Ethereal

Bold strokes still abound in Paris and on the fair floor at Maison & Objet, but we saw a material exploration of softness from designers this year that felt like a prelude to something much bigger. At the Espace Commines presentation, design duo Sabourin Costes presented a beautiful resin and glass cocktail table alongside tubular stools and a tendril-y vase inspired by sea anemones.

Elsewhere, Clarisse Demory curated a pop-up for the perfumer Nonfiction dubbed Language of Light, where Rahee Yoon's ombré resin Block objects stood out for their ethereal, meditative quality. And Theoreme Editions held court at the 3537 event space for the group show Whatever Has to Be Done, in which printed silk draperies by artist Justin Morin elegantly framed furnishings from emerging European design talent.

Curves Are In; Corners Are Out

Seating was equally soft this year, in profile as much as fabric composition. Pieces embraced curvature, like Bina Baitel's sloped sofa or the blue velvet tête-à-tête installed at Designer of the Year Cristina Celestino's "Palais Exotique" restaurant concept for Mariage Frères. In keeping with the theme, the Invisible Collection presented the architect and designer Aline Asmar d'Amman 's debut furniture collection, featuring a "sensual" conversation salon upholstered in pink mohair, while Beirut-based designer Roula Salamoun's Archipelago sofa featured sculpted edges inspired by coastal erosion.

Silver's the Real Winner

Aluminum, chrome, and stainless steel dominated the showrooms, from products like Thibault Huguet's understated Lampe #1, available in customized heights, to Wendy Andreu's compact Staple Console and Charlotte Juillard's chrome ISO sconce. Boon Room showcased steel and stone works by Batten and Kamp alongside Tim Teven's sculptural chrome Pressure vases (as seen in ELLE DECOR's September issue) and Will Choui's punishing mirror-polished stainless steel WCL lounge chair and aluminum Squarehead mirror. These are accents that provide an edge (for when your sofa has none.)

Milan has often been called the "drinkable city," but that sobriquet is never more apt than during Milan Design Week, the annual celebration of design and architecture that engulfs the Italian city each spring. Last week, thousands of brands and designers from around the world showed off their latest offerings at events, pop-ups, and showrooms throughout the design capital. Nearly a quarter of a million visitors, meanwhile, flooded the Salone del Mobile fair-an event that was back in full force after two years of cancellations and postponements.

With so much to take in-indeed, to drink in-ELLE DECOR editors were primed to seek out the latest interior design trends. We trekked across the city and the fair (with the step counts to prove it) to scout all things new, from the texture that will be on your next sofa to the tint you'll soon have on your apartment walls. If the last few years were all about creature comforts as the pandemic raged outside our homes, this year is about a desire for being transported-to a different era, to a different country, or even just to the outdoors. Whatever you seek, be sure to get it while it's hot.

Bouclé 2.0

If you're suffering from bouclé fatigue-that nubby textile that migrated from Chanel jackets to everyone's sofas these last few years-you're in luck: at this year's Milan Design Week, we spotted refreshing updates on the fabric both on the Salone del Mobile floor and at satellite events throughout the city. Bouclé's most notable reincarnation was a color-based one, moving from that off-white that dominated our Insta feeds, to bolder, nature-inspired hues-think a mossy green at the Italian brand , rust-brown at the Dutch company Montis, and gold at Saba. Then there were cozy, new variations on the texture itself, beyond the usual loopy pile, including waffle-y chenille, soft mohair, luxurious cashmere, and menswear-inspired tweeds. The perfect encapsulation of the look was at the Italian company Fratelli Boffi 's booth. Dare we say it's just the right touch?

Carpet Glow-Up

We were happy to reveal that wall-to-wall carpet is having a moment. But if you found that trend to be surprising, buckle up for the Milan debuts: Not only is carpeting back, but it's gotten brighter, bolder, and-yes-shaggier. We first spotted the trend at filmmaker and designer Luca Guadagnino's installation at Milan's Spazio RT. Guadagnino's team worked alongside Northern Irish graphic designer Nigel Peake to create collagelike, primary-colored wool and silk carpets-an aesthetic Guadagnino termed "a bit rock-and-roll" in a press release. Across town at Alcova, designer Leo Rydell Jost unveiled similarly exuberant carpets in super-saturated swirls of gold, violet, and crimson.

But color was just the start: Companies revealed rugs that were funkier-and fluffier-than your standard offerings. Also at Alcova, Beni Rugs presented a collab with stylist Colin King, a shaggy collection in mustard and cream hues. At the fair, CC-Tapis notably showed off a hand-knotted rug, designed by Duccio Maria Gambi, with a varied Himalayan wool pile that resembles a ring of plush forest moss. Belgian company Evolution21 also played with pile; its handwoven carpets featured pleasing patches of "floof" that reminded us of soft sea anemones growing from the floor.

Legs for Days

Table and chair legs, sometimes an afterthought, are now making a statement, adding an almost-hidden layer of visual interest to these pieces. Poltrona Frau's limited-edition Archibald seat-a collaboration with the masked Argentinian-Spanish artist Felipe Pantone-paired a striking iridescent frame with color-blocked leather upholstery, while Atelier Oï took inspiration from a Roman palazzo's arches for the Metropolis table's legs at the new Fendi Casa outpost. Elsewhere, at SaloneSatellite-the trade fair's spotlight on emerging designers-Mexican duo Design VA unveiled Walky, a series of playful seats with anthropomorphic wooden "shoes" for feet. Also at Satellite, Design Week Lagos showcased work from Olufisayo Bakare, including a colorful salvaged wood stool with a leg carved into the shape of a bird-a rendering of the mythical Benin bird of prophecy.

Far East Movement

Interest in Japan's design sensibilities is at an all-time high, even as the country remains largely closed off to foreign visitors. Cassina upholstered its Soriana armchair in Japanese denim for a limited-edition run of the reissue, and AB Concept teamed up with Calico Wallpaper to create Forest of Reflection, a serene wallcovering collection inspired by the changing seasons of the Japanese Alps. Meanwhile, at the fair, Duravit and Sebastian Herkner channeled Japan's more minimalist aesthetics in its Zencha bathroom collection. The square-shaped soaking tub, a real standout of the collaboration, was inspired by the serenity and ritual of Japanese tea ceremonies.

High Shine

Like what you see in the mirror? Good, because Salone was all about reflections this year. At Nilufar Gallery, French-Lebanese designer Flavie Audi showed her sculptural mirrors, complete with colorful resin moths embedded in the frame; Tom Dixon brought reflections galore at Palazzo Serbelloni, where the British designer celebrated his brand's 20th anniversary with a chromed-out Mirror Ball chandelier. Even Dior took some time to reflect (so to speak) this year, relaunching its classic Medallion chair with a shiny new look courtesy of Philippe Starck.

Customizable Cocktail Tables

The modular sofa has become the seat du jour at Salone and beyond, with nearly every major brand launching another take on the ever-customizable design year after year. Now cocktail tables have become just as personalized, with new offerings designed to be layered together in multiples. Some of our favorites included B&B Italia's Planck line, which brings color and fun to the living room, and Porada's Callisto marble nesting tables, which resemble a stone mosaic when styled together. Luca Guadagnino Studio put a different, more architectural spin on the trend with its jigsaw puzzle-like red travertine and black granite cocktail tables, and Molteni&C created more subtle layers with its curvy Cleo collection.

Minty Fresh

OK, OK-we realize that we've covered the green trend many times at ELLE DECOR, and judging by the offerings at Milan Design Week, it's clear that this trend isn't going anywhere soon, from lime-green seating in Paul Smith's collab with De Padova to the poison-green spritzes served at Pin-Up magazine's Design Week bash. However, we noticed a very particular sub-trend amid emerald everything: pale green. "It's moved beyond the forest green we saw a lot of in the recent past. It's more faded," New York designer Josh Greene (appropriately) told us. "Sometimes I call it conifer; sometimes it's called alpine." He noticed it in everything from Luke Edward Hall's fabrics for Rubelli to upholstered pieces at Kartell-"not to mention in terrazzo floors and marbles all around Milan," he added.

We also noticed this punchier, mintier hue in Spanish outdoor brand iSiMAR's pale green outdoor furniture, Connubia's seafoam seating, and Swarovski's celadon table settings with Rosenthal. Pale green might even supplant the ubiquitous forest green kitchen, as shown in Samsung's fair booth. The trend seemed to reference a collective need to reconnect with nature, a current that Salone del Mobile's president, Maria Porro, has seen rise to the fore. "The border between indoor and outdoor is no longer important-probably because we suffered so much [these last two years]," Porro told us. "It's about the beauty and design of the product, but it's also what's behind it."

That '70s Show

Courtesy of Rossana Orlandi

After nearly two years stuck at home, designers were ready to go out-and it showed in the offerings throughout Milan Design Week. Gone were the cartoon-y, Memphis-inspired shapes and colors; in their place we noticed low-slung, come-hither furnishings that channeled disco, Halston, and sexy '70s-era design. DimoreStudio, in particular, embraced the era in its presentations at its DimoreMilano space (think leopard-print carpet, smoked glass, and gleaming chrome), and a rooftop tableau at Buccellati's headquarters included, among other delightful elements, evocative details like fringe, ferns, and ashtrays. "We're really mining the 1970s," Dimorestudio cofounder Britt Moran told us, in particular the work of Italian greats like Gae Aulenti. And the fixation with the decade didn't stop with Dimore: Lee Broom released a series of six light fixtures that took inspiration from the divine as well as Brutalist architecture; Sé Studio revealed a disco-themed room (complete with a geodesic disco-ball light fixture) at the Milan powerhouse design gallery Rossana Orlandi. At the fair, Baxter's booth was stuffed with curved, low-rise furnishings in hues like gray and aubergine, and at Dior's garden party, the '70s were literally in the air thanks to the funky Italo soundtrack.

Stone Solid

There's no question about it: Unique stone surfaces are trending in a major way throughout the home, as we've seen in the magazine, at last year's Milan Design Week, and predicted in our 2022 kitchen report. The next big thing in stone? Color. And lots of it. The clearest-cut (no pun intended) example of this was at Alcova, where the natural stone company SolidNature took over the bottom level of a former industrial laundry facility with a collaboration between OMA and fellow Dutch designer Sabine Marcelis. The exhibition's candy-colored archway, made from nine different slabs of polychromatic onyx, became one of the most Instagrammed items of the week. Marcelis showcased an entire bathroom suite carved from the palest pink onyx, a delightfully contemporary take on the 1950s bathroom hue. OMA contributed, in addition to a stone (yes) bed, a breathtaking bookcase, made from Satin Verde marble, with shelves in a striated onyx with veins of gray and tangerine. The exhibition made clear that stone needn't be just a surface, but a venue for experimentation-and also a status symbol.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Courtesy of SolidNature Milan has often been called the "drinkable city," but that sobriquet is never more apt than during Milan Design Week, the annual celebration of design and architecture that engulfs the Italian city each spring. Last week, thousands of brands and designers from around the world showed off their latest offerings at events, pop-ups, and showrooms throughout the design capital.

We are in the middle of the year and most of the 2019 trends have already invaded our houses, from natural pattern to geometric and from earth tone to brass furniture. Take a look at the top 7 interior design trends of 2019 with staying power.

Mustard Yellow

Kandinsky called yellow "the happiest colour". The trend of this 2019 is the mustard yellow, that works well with both dark and lighter colours. This colour can give a vibrant and warm look to your house. The important thing is to always keep the right balance with the other elements that coexist with it. It pairs well with cooler greys, taupe, clay tones and crisp white.

Velvet furniture

Velvet is rapidly becoming a luxurious and comforting fabrication. One of the most prominent ways we are introducing velvet into our home decor is via upholstery on armchairs and sofas. Velvet will be one of 2019's most sought-after interior design trends.

FITZROY Sofa is inspired in Mount Fitz Roy, a mountain in Patagonia, whose name is a tribute to Robert FitzRoy, the captain of the ship that transported Charles Darwin in his travel around the world. This curved sofa, with its back inspired in the outstanding mountain shape, is fully upholstered in cotton velvet and the base is in Wenge stain. FITZROY Sofa will add an organic element to any living room set.

Geometric decor

It really seems that geometric interior trend is invading design and home decor. The real reason is that geometric theme is really versatile, a timeless and elegant decor that may be used in many different interior style. This is a trend that will help make a bold statement in any room by adding geometric throws. From fabulously contemporary to classically traditional, geometric patterns are expected to become a dramatic presence like in Scandinavian's interior design.

Bold colours

"In 2019, bold colours are going to explode even more than they already have. Think navy blue, deep red, and burnt orange to really bring some excitement into the room."

- Shea Nikkel, Owner, Blue Charlotte Lifestyle

Bold colour trend is in, and you can use it to give personality to your home. Paying attention to proportion and scale is an important factor in designing any room, but it becomes especially crucial when you are dealing with bold shades.

Floral Patterns

According to Eric Gates of Erin Gates Design "The traditional beauty of floral patterns, either abstracted or straight up chintz, will be the pattern to use."

Floral interiors and decor, with big floral patterns, are in full bloom one again in the interior decor for this 2019. This classic decorating trend has been around since the beginning of time, but for the upcoming year, florals have been thoroughly refreshed and modernized. You can choose large prints and moody palettes, but also some contemporary versions with a 3d effect. And if flowers are not your thing, there is a few nature-centric prints that involve birds, branches and flora in general to enliven your home.

Brass Furniture

Brass is a surprisingly warm and subtle alternative to the expected steel accents and will be sure to add an everyday sense of elegance to even the simplest of spaces. Brass looks perfect matched also with different metals. It seems that this year brass will be also the trendiest material for bathrooms and you can match it with dark color like petrol or forest green.

Nature in its rawest form flows through this charismatic furniture piece as lava flows during a volcano eruption. Molded by casted brass and flat mirror, CAY embodies nature's ultimate scream. Allow yourself to hear the ultimate call, feeling its strength and reflecting it into your urban lifestyle.

Earth Tone

A slower way of life, back to natural roots, a more conscious living that reflects in green and earth interiors. The earth palette features only hues that evoke primordial scenarios and a sense of freedom. The deep blue of the oceans, the brown of the mountain chains, and the beige of the deserts sand.

The colours in an earth tone scheme are muted and flat in an emulation of the natural colours found in dirt, moss, trees and rocks.

Also BRABBU takes inspiration by nature to create their products.
Sequoia is one of the largest and tallest trees in the world that grows in California. Just like it, SEQUOIA Centre Table is a force of Nature. The distinct walnut root veneer top shows the passage of years and the base in brass with aged patina adds a refined touch. This coffee table proves the beauty of the action of time.

ROLE OF FABRICS IN INTERIOR FURNISHING

A fabric plays an important role for home textiles like:

� Fabric protects interior colour from fading and furnishing from deterioration from sunlight.
� It protects from sun glare and it lends protection from night blackness at evening and from too early sun in the morning.
� Fabrics lends privacy to any degree that is needed
� It shields people from draughts or heat and reduces heat loss in winter.
� It can make summer room cooler and reduce an air conditioning load in the summer.
� Fabric increases liveability and work ability of a small place, reduce noise, make music and even speech richer and more resonant of all acoustic materials, and sound engineers find no material that is equal.

One of the reasons we connect with folk art is that it always tells a story. While many objects are created to serve a basic function, art is always connected to folklore and inspired by tradition. In recent years, traditional crafts have received a much needed push into the limelight and their popularity gains impetus as a new generation traces its roots through traditional craft-promoting the Indian artisan in an invigorated manner. Indian Handicrafts

Shibani Jain is one of these messiahs of Indian handicrafts. Having worked for over 12 years in the handicraft sector, she felt that it was time to bring her knowledge and the skills of artisans in villages across India to the urban consumer. This thought led to the genesis of Baaya Design.

The Baaya Design venture accomplished two things-it gave the Indian artisan a new lease of life in a commercial context and it enabled Shibani to bring a new perspective to using folk art in the urban home.

Shibani Jain graduated as a Visual Communication Designer from NID Ahmedabad. After spending a few years working with web and multimedia she developed an enduring interest in crafts. Shibani has always had an ongoing fascination with crafts. While working in the handicrafts sector she began to see interesting applications in the décor space.

"I began to work with folk art and styling solutions over the past 4 years," says Shibani. " I find it to be an involved process where I can work with artisans and also make a difference to them, while satisfying my creative urge and working in large spaces."

After working with crafts for several years, Shibani realised that there was a very limited availability of good quality tribal and folk art. There was also little usage of such skills in the interior decorating dimension. Whatever was available was poorly presented. Shibani decided to explore this niche segment and founded Baaya Design- a retail store and studio specialising in traditional craft techniques.

The name 'Baaya' is inspired by the Baya weaverbird-found in South and Southeast Asia. A social bird resembling a sparrow, one of the interesting features of this species is that the males build very intricate nests. Named weaverbird because of the detailed manner in which the nest is woven and hung.

Baaya Design offers 3 channels -

1. Folk art and designer home accessories

2. Customised styling consultancy and solutions

3. Corporate gifting solutions.

"Our offerings speak of special artisan skills, are made of natural materials and reflect an urbane sensibility at the same time," says Shibani.

The store is an open conversational space in sync with the products it offers, where stories and traditions overlap while products communicate and integrate into a perspective that is representative of India.

It is a map-not defined by geographical features but rather an expression of culture and history defined by simplistic creativity where form and function are inseparable and storytelling a visual exercise.
Shibani Jain's Home
Shibani Jain has incorporated traditional Indian art and craft in the interiors of her home as well-conveying an eclectic well-travelled aesthetic, rooted in Indian traditions.

The entrance is a simple wooden door complemented by green potted plants and a wooden cabinet painted in vibrant hues of green and blue. The carved wall panel above it works as a perfect foil to the brightly coloured cabinet.

The living room has a central point of focus-a beautiful Gond Art mural on the main wall. There is also a collection of various types of folk art, beautifully framed and displayed on one wall. India has over 70 varieties of art and handicrafts and Shibani collects these from different parts of the country like Bengal, Maharashtra, Orissa, Jharkhand and Chattisgarh.

Her design sensibility favours high ceilings and a good use of space. Furnishings are well connected to the art and complete the story.

Facing the living room is the dining area with ochre coloured walls, a beautiful glass top dining table and chairs upholstered in green fabric. The ochre serves as a perfect complement to Shibani's collection of art placed in frames.

When you enter her home you are refreshed with the breeze from the balcony and greeted with a splendid view of the sea. The balcony is an interesting conversational space brought to life with the use of wrought iron and woodwork.

Another notable feature is the guest bathroom upstairs. The guest room consists of a bathroom made of Jaipur blue pottery tiles, which were used to create an Indo-Moroccan design.

While the blue tiles were used as a walled surface to frame the mirror, the flooring was laid with a mosaic of the same tiles. Vintage brushed steel taps and accessories complete this look.

Do you dream of Atelier Vime? Did you feel seen by a kindred spirit when Soane Britain's Lulu Lytle wrote a book about rattan? The natural, textural finish of woven furniture is timeless and it really does go with everything. Whether you're buying Franco Albini for a Modernist flat or cane Chinoiserie for a period house; it always looks good and it always feels reminiscent of a more glamorous time or place.

Aside from perhaps a motel in Palm Springs or a farmhouse in Provence, there's no better place to kick-back on a rattan chair than your own patio. Alas, we don't share California's year-round sunshine, so it's wise to choose flexible indoor-outdoor furniture that works for all seasons. Virtually every piece (sun loungers aside) in our edit of rattan garden furniture will look just as good in your living area - or the corner of a bedroom - when the weather takes a turn for the worst. And the opposite is true. Some of the below pieces are sold as indoor furniture but their manageable weight and natural material means they're the great chameleons of the home, so they'll work perfectly out among the plants (or wheeled out for a garden party), as long as it stays dry.

What is rattan furniture?

Traditional rattan furniture is made from a group of climbing palms native to Southeast Asia. Used because of the strength and flexibility of its vines, the fibres can be woven and bent into various complex decorative shapes. Rattan furniture first became fashionable in Victorian times, but it's even better known for the peacock chairs and tiki-style bar trolleys from its sixties and seventies heyday.

Which is better, wicker or rattan?

Let's clear this up: wicker, cane and rattan are often used interchangeably to describe rattan furniture; so what's the difference between them? Rattan is simply the name of the material that comes from the rattan palm. Wicker isn't a material at all, it's the name of the method of weaving. Wicker could be made from a variety of things including rattan, bamboo, willow or synthetic fibres. Cane (often used for panelling on door fronts or stretched over chair seats) is a much thinner material that's made by stripping the rattan plant.

How to look after rattan furniture

You shouldn't keep natural rattan furniture outside in the rain as it's not naturally waterproof, so it can be spoiled by mold and mildew if the fibres get wet. It's also worth noting that it will fade over time in the sun. To keep your rattan looking its best, only use it outdoors when the weather is dry otherwise keep it under cover. If you'd prefer hassle-free garden furniture that you don't need to shelter in winter; look for poly-rattan instead, which is synthetic and weatherproof.

See below for Vogue's edit of the best rattan furniture to add a touch of texture to your home

Seating

From sun loungers to sofas to dining chairs, this rattan seating will see you through the rest of summer and afterwards, use the smaller pieces indoors as occasional chairs. PU rattan is fine to stay outside throughout winter, so it's the smart choice if you don't have a garage or shed.

Tables

In terms of size and storage, an outdoor dining table is the one piece you'll have an easier time with if you choose poly-rattan instead of natural (unless you have a rain cover). Rattan coffee tables and side tables are much more versatile and will look equally good in your living room, as bedside tables or even bath-side stools, so it's a more-the-merrier situation with those.

Accessories

If lounge chairs and side tables aren't enough to scratch that itch, you can layer up the look with woven garden accessories and add pieces such as planters, window baskets, lanterns and tableware. If you've always wanted a rattan-covered carafe or a set of scalloped wicker placemats - this is the time to host the BBQ of your rattan dreams.

“From velvet ribbons to pillow covers to a cozy throw blanket styled over our sofa, I chose to incorporate moments of muted mauve and berry while also adding balance with natural elements like fresh greenery, dried citrus slices, and lots of earth tones.”

Sometimes less is more, like this Andrew Howard–designed Low Country home. This magnolia, kumquat, and pine cone garland on the mantle offers subtle yet festive pops that contrast tastefully against the otherwise monochrome room—and can last well into the new year.

Hone in on those earthy textures while incorporating touches of metallic accents for a pastoral twist that is minimalist, stripped-down, and peaceful—while still feeling contemporary. In Nadine Stay’s Kinfolk-esque home, gold continues in the tray rim, brass candlesticks, and delicate frame. “I love to bring out my warm golden accents during the holiday season,” she says. “Pair that with mountain scene artwork and a vase with greenery, because nothing says ‘holiday’ better than a bundle of evergreen stems.”

Take a cue from Mary Ellen Becker’s charming living room mantel arrangement and get creative with the greenery available to you. “Look closely at the most striking Christmas displays and you’ll often find simple, organic elements used en masse to create a grand statement,” says Ellen Becker. “Look in your fridge for the oranges, the pears. Check your backyard for an evergreen and snip a few branches.”

We’re all about multitasking, and a bedroom in this Palo Alto, California, house is a prime two-birds-with-one-stone situation. Designer Jessica Davis used a shelf to display her client’s artwork, keeping it low for added wallpaper drama that doesn’t detract from the busy nightstand area. Bonus: A shelf is much more conducive to the occasional artwork rearrangement, based on seasonal whims.

The four walls are just a blank canvas. Take, for instance, this boy’s room on Menorca, where designer Lorenzo Castillo used a folding screen upholstered in royal blue velvet as wall decor. The blue continues on the bed and even in the wooden beams overhead, offering a cohesive look that stands out against the stark white walls.

While lacquered walls aren’t for the faint of heart, their glossy finish really packs a punch. In this primary bedroom in Milan, Paolo Castellarin and Didier Bonnin took on the labor-intensive project, creating a duotone brown-and-yellow color scheme that leaves absolutely nothing to be desired.

Go bold with pattern, as designer Jean-Louis Deniot did in the primary bedroom of his vacation home off the Atlantic coast of France. Deniot draped a macramé canopy over baby-blue patterned wallpaper for a playful assemblage.

Create texture in the bedroom with rich, floor-to-ceiling fabric for added dimension and visual interest. Gabriel Hendifar, artistic director and CEO of the design studio Apparatus, covered the walls of his Manhattan bedroom with rich, velvet-like fabric that contrasts with the plush bedcover and bolster by Zak+Fox.

Extend your headboard the full distance of the wall, as design firm Ashe Leandro did in this Upper East Side home. Insider tip: Make sure to use a darker color pulled from elsewhere in the room for a seamless integration that also makes a bold pop.

Whether you opt for a bold pattern or a quiet floral, wallpaper adds a remarkable elegance to any bedroom. Case in point: the guest bedroom of a home outside New York City designed by Miles Redd and David Kaihoi, which features custom Iksel wallpaper that is as impressive as the artwork on the walls.

This sweeping sheer linen canopy in Lorraine and Patrick Frey’s home in Provence is a lesson in less is more. (As for the quality, they used only Pierre Frey fabrics, so more is definitely more.)

In a massive and stunning display in Milan’s teeming Brera district, Hermès took over a jai alai sports center and exhibited its burgeoning home line in a series of monumental plaster pavilions designed by set designer Hervé Sauvage. A highlight was Studio Mumbai’s Sillage d’Hermès armchair, handmade in Puglia in recycled materials using a papier-mâché technique. Dior’s iconic Medallion chair—a pared-down version of the Louis XVI dining chair that furnished the designer’s midcentury Dior salons. At Armani/Casa, the offerings included a leopard-print velvet armchair, a home gym, and a blanket that doubles as a chess set; meanwhile, Versace Home debuted buttery leather sectionals and pastel bedding sets.

One of the most impressive aspects of this year’s fair was the amount of R&D that firms have invested in sustainable technologies. At B&B Italia, Piero Lissoni’s first outdoor collection, Borea, was made from recyclable aluminum, with cushions made from recycled PET plastic bottles, while some tabletops had surfaces glazed in enameled lava stone and recycled glass from discarded television and computer monitors. Molteni&C showed its new eco-friendly upholstery in 100 percent recycled and biodegradable polyester for its Paul sofa line.

The grand dame of 3D printing, Audrey Large, was on exhibit at Nilufar Gallery. The work of young Greek designer Natalia Triantafylli, whose collection Chimeras of a High Tide, shown as part of the “Lost Graduation Show” at the Salone del Mobile fairground, combined traditional slip-casting techniques with 3D-printed forms. Triantafylli’s material exploration suggests a bright future for the way we conceive of machine-assisted making.

Purple is making a comeback. Deep sapphire, elegant lavender, and playful periwinkle—shades we associate more with the 1980s than the 21st century—all reared their heads at the fair. It showed up in locations as diverse as the showroom of Italian luxury furnishings brands Baxter and Poltrona Frau to Nilufar Gallery, where a show of designer Audrey Large’s 3D-printed works—including shelves, fountains, and bowls with amorphous forms—bridged design object and sculpture in vivid shades of amethyst and lilac. Green, too, seemed to be everywhere. Shades of emerald ruled the roost, rendered in leather, velvet, marble, and more. A slightly more confrontational acidic green has been trending in interiors and fashion for some time now, but this year’s Milan Design Week made a strong case for more soothing earthy, jewel-like tones. —Asad Syrkett

In this New York townhouse kitchen, subtlety is played out in clean lines and sparse juxtapositions. White cabinets are cooly contrasted with stainless accents in the pendants, cabinetry, appliances, and Corten steel tiles. The lesson in this chic kitchen: sophistication can be achieved through the use of negative space. The pendants are from a Czechoslovakian factory and the 1940s stools are by Warren McArthur.

This one-of-a-kind St. Petersburg apartment kitchen, designed by Tim Veresnovsky, turns the notion of gray on its head. Look closely at the eucalyptus veneer that covers the walls, cabinets, and chair—and you’ll see black and white stripes. But step back and the effect is a gray that’s brimming with dimension. This pint-size space proves that there is more than one way to combine colors.

Monochrome is always a good idea, especially when it comes to gray. In this minimalist West Village apartment, gray cabinetry meets a gray backsplash against a (you guessed it) gray countertop. Add generous skylights and a streamlined design, and you’ve got a minimalist marvel that doesn't need a touch of color to show personality.

If our “graydar” is correct, gray is coming in hot this season—or rather, very achromatic. While all-white kitchens have been all the rage during our Covid-confined era, and colorful kitchens are now having a moment, the in-between is becoming the ultimate sign of sophistication. From a light barely-there hue to a moody charcoal shade—a gray palette in your cookery is tasteful, understated, and endlessly versatile. In short, it creates a space that is muted in all the right ways.

Wadden suggests pairing Redend Point with nature-inspired textiles, wood tones, metallic accents, or vintage accessories, which would really pop against this muted tone. Complementary green shades pair well with this hue. Rich reds, gentle greens, muted grays, and other earth tones offer eclectic color combinations. “I’m loving the pastoral vibe with teeny little floral prints and almost a 1980s pastoral farmhouse look, but a Shaker style,” she noted. “

Certain elements of the glam decade are reemerging—particularly on the floor. “Wall-to-wall carpet was such a no-go for so long and now feels fresh again,” he observes. Our terra-cotta wall-to-wall is lush and a hit with visitors.

G Hexagon wallpaper plays with geometry and scale in a color palette reminiscent of a vintage wrap dress.

Hughes sees this as a clear break with so-called rational design. These practices embrace collage, animistic design, soft melting forms, and psychedelic color schemes.” Soft, solidly constructed, and evocative of languid ’70s glamour—can be upholstered in an array of earthy colors like teal, persimmon, and ochre. Hughes sums up this phenomenon as “legible comfort”—things that simply look soft and inviting, plump and rounded.

# data[].attributes.body
Another powerful impulse among designers and collectors alike is the desire to surround oneself with handcrafted, artisanal objects—both old and new. Abby Bangser says that lately there’s “an interest in handmade and crafted objects, collected over time, so there’s more potential in a homeowner’s personality coming out through the objects they’re surrounding themselves with.” In a sense, it’s due to the uniqueness and personal touch of each thing: “Maybe that goes back to how conscious we are of our humanity right now —these objects that we live with are made by real people.”

"Challenging traditional ideas of ownership and private space.”“There is an increased interest in nomadic and flexible-use objects,” Hughes explains of these adaptable, multifunctional furnishings. In other words, the notion that rooms and furnishings have dedicated uses and finite configurations is a thing of the past; our homes are evolving into a movable feast.

Through cutting-edge patented technology, Eastman is taking its partners in the home textiles industry on a journey that begins with reclaimed carpet waste and ends with truly sustainable-and high quality -Naia™ Renew fiber.

Innovative and trailblazing, Eastman's advances have taken its position as a thought leader in sustainability to an unprecedented new level, driven by a commitment to educate the industry while improving the health of consumers and the planet. Several significant developments tell the story.
A CLOSER LOOK
Eastman's new molecular recycling process breaks down waste otherwise destined for landfills, incineration, or other undesirable end-of-life options and uses them as feedstock to create acetic acid, a biodegradable organic acid. This acetic acid is then used to produce Eastman Naia ™ Renew cellulosic fiber for spun and filament yarns. Because waste is broken down to its molecular level, material such as post-consumer carpets can be recycled infinitely without compromising on comfort, quality and appearance of new materials made.

Of the feedstock used to produce Naia ™ Renew, 60 percent comes from sustainably sourced wood pulp and 40 percent comes from certified* recycled content.

"Through molecular recycling, we are helping to solve the global waste problem and reduce our carbon footprint," says Dnyanada Satam, global market segment manager for home textiles at Eastman. "We're not just talking about plastic bottles; we're taking a more comprehensive approach to recycling because we can use a wide variety of waste materials from different industries to produce Naia ™ Renew."
WASTE CRISIS A TOP-TIER ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN
Today's consumers are just as concerned about waste as they are about climate change, air quality, and water quality. They understand how molecular recycling benefits them and the planet. As a result, brands that are first to offer solutions via molecular recycling have a tremendous-and so far untapped-opportunity to drive sales, brand equity, and consumer loyalty.

These interesting findings come from a recent Eastman survey of 2,000 U.S. and European consumers conducted to help its industry partners accelerate consumer understanding of molecular recycling.

"Consumers are on the same path as we are," Satam is proud to say. "They demand sustainable materials. And with Naia ™ Renew, they now have that option in the home textiles market."

She goes on to explain that, as an industry, home textiles is always looking toward the fashion market to discover exciting new trends. Naia ™ Renew is a perfect example. This season, fashion icon H&M is featuring a pioneering new fashion collection that incorporates Naia ™ Renew. As H&M's most circular collection ever, the Innovation Stories series spotlights new approaches to recyclability and circularity by showcasing new material innovations and cutting-edge waste-conscious techniques.

Complete details on the consumer study can be found at: https://info.eastman.com/Renew_SJ.html?utm_source=marketo&utm_medium=display&utm_campaign=Naia%20HT%20Sponsored%20Article_HTT_March_Article_Link
TRANSLATING SUSTAINABILITY INTO BETTER SLEEP
Naia ™ Renew is an ideal solution for textile brands dedicated to meeting the growing consumer demand for sustainable solutions.

Getting a restful night's sleep is vital for our overall health and well-being; and bedding made with Naia ™ Renew cellulosic fiber can help us get there with three key benefits to ensure we wake up refreshed, restored, and at ease: comfort, long-lasting quality, and sustainability.

"One of the greatest strengths of Naia ™ Renew is that this is not pie-in-the-sky thinking. This is sheets-on-the-bed reality," Satam says. "A truly circular solution available right now, Naia ™ Renew checks all the boxes for softness, long-lasting quality, ease of care, and sustainability. And that should give everyone a better night's sleep."

"We want consumers who purchase Naia ™ Renew-based products to wake up to a better tomorrow-confident they are doing their part to make a positive impact on their household and reducing the impact on our shared home, Earth," Satam concludes. "We invite our partners in the home textiles arena to explore the important value-added solution Naia ™ Renew represents."
*Naia™ Renew recycled content is achieved by allocation of recycled waste material using an ISCC-certified mass balance process.

Pink has always been a popular color for nurseries and children’s rooms, but recently it’s taken on a more sophisticated tone. Different from the vibrant Millennial Pink, this hue is softer and has a subtle peachy tone. We also just think it makes rooms feel happier, like this primary bedroom in Lisa Corti’s home in Milan.

The home has a typical Georgian layout, with four rooms on each of its two floors. In the living room, the original mantel was painted to match the wall color, a muted brown (Tarlatan by Paint & Paper Library). At one end of the space, de Rohan Willner works two days a week from an antique desk (she commutes to her office in London on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays), where she enjoys a view of the garden, and at the opposite end a pair of rolled-arm chairs are topped with velvet cushions

a brand whose ethos revolves around handmade goods, sustainability, and acquiring pieces that will last a lifetime. “We wanted to keep the house authentic,” says de Rohan Willner, who oversaw the interior design while her husband managed the renovation. “It hadn’t been overly done up, and to us that is a beautiful thing. It’s got these beautiful Welsh slab stone floors, a yellow stove in the kitchen, and all the original shutters. Indeed, the eye-catching kitchen, with its peach-colored lime-painted walls and bold green cabinets, is a show-stopper—and a space de Rohan Willner dreamed about having for many years.
