Sophisticated Tropics

The Sophisticated Tropics trend takes coastal living in a more refined direction. It blends relaxed luxury with botanical influences, sun-washed colors, and elevated natural textures. The result is a look that feels effortless, welcoming, and distinctly sophisticated.

This trend comes to life throughout our fashion library, especially in patterns featuring tropical botanicals, breezy textures, and relaxed resort-inspired styling.

Shaped By Nature

As biophilic design continues to gain momentum, homeowners are looking for ways to bring nature indoors. The Shaped By Nature trend embraces organic forms, botanical patterns, natural textures, and earth-inspired color palettes. The focus is on creating spaces that feel calm, restorative, and connected to the outdoors.

You’ll see this influence throughout Verdant Vision and Natural Harmony.

Modern Heirlooms

Homeowners are increasingly embracing designs that reflect craftsmanship, heritage, and authenticity. The Modern Heirlooms trend combines modern nostalgia with classic patterns, collected interiors, and updated traditional styling. It celebrates timeless design while making it relevant for today’s homes.

This trend is especially evident in Archival Influences, our heritage-inspired jacquard collection, where timeless florals and traditional motifs are reimagined through fresh color palettes and transitional styling.

Soft Refuge

As the concept of quiet luxury continues to evolve, homeowners are seeking interiors that provide comfort and emotional well-being. The Soft Refuge trend focuses on warm neutrals, tactile textures, soft minimalism, and layered materials that create a sense of calm and sanctuary.

This trend directly inspired Soft Surroundings, our solids and textures collection. These fabrics were selected to add warmth, depth and layering opportunities throughout the assortment.

Pattern Drenching

Today’s designers are becoming more confident in their use of pattern. The Pattern Drenching trend embraces thoughtful pattern mixing, multiple scales, and layered coordination to create rich, personalized interiors. It’s maximalism with purpose — bold, yet intentional.

This trend inspired La Petite, our small-scale coordinating print collection. It was developed specifically to pair with our larger-scale fashion prints and embroideries, making pattern layering both beautiful and approachable.
