Lavish Maximalism with a vast array of patterns and rich colors.
Sophisticated Neoclassicism with symmetrical lines and peculiar details.
Tamed Brutalism, when industrial materials like concrete and natural elements like plants, wood are brought together for an inviting ambience.

The new trends by the Five Elements
Wood
- Wallpaper is back, even for ceilings. Scenic wallpaper is more colorful and up to date.
- Fabric and paper lightings are popular.
- Applying one fabric to decorate everything in a room is huge. Even better if it is monochromatic.
- Layering textures becomes a fun, exciting way to make the space visually pleasing and tactile at the same time.
- Rich woods are a beautiful trend- walnut, cherry, oak nurture us and help us stay connected to nature in our homes.
Fire
- Red color is making a comeback.
- Ambient, cozy lighting plays a great role in designing a serene atmosphere.
- Mushroom leather, an alternative to animal skin is sustainable.
Metal

- Silver and iron accents, polished aluminum, stainless steel, and nickel shine.
- Silver color is a favorite.
Earth
- Besides bold colors and jewel tones, earth tones are still in. Pinks and mauve are favored this year. Darker tones add depth, earthy colors ground us. Both these groups can create a cozy environment.

Homes have become multifunctional, where people want to express their personality and originality.
There is a great emphasis on retreat, relaxation, meditation, and fitness: creating the right environment for these activities is crucial.
Being more selective and blending contemporary paintings, upcycled vintage or antique pieces to create a unique, cherished personal space and story is of the utmost importance.
