Design trend 2015: Move over Ikat and Suzani

<br /><br />It's that time of year again. People are beginning to think about 2015 and what it will bring. When you're a home decor blogger that always means checking out the hot new trends.<br /><br />So here goes- my first trend snippet for 2015.<br /><br />Sometimes even patterns we love can lose favour if they are overused.  Chevron comes to mind.  What was once a fantastic pattern that played well with other patterns because of simple, graphic lines has been overused to the point of -dare I say it- nausea.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjbFyEqBUjlO5L30SHoez5AHldb8rkeH1NL9-8Q-rSPxlzMo0QqS7ommUp5ro6Jy6PoDHKy_Vb7Cu8EGM3DPe0Xqj-RkvDKi1v-guVHe1GvX9wmmXjnoCtcW9D_FPUa9UOCTadv7C6urHX/s1600/OB-traditional+patterns+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjbFyEqBUjlO5L30SHoez5AHldb8rkeH1NL9-8Q-rSPxlzMo0QqS7ommUp5ro6Jy6PoDHKy_Vb7Cu8EGM3DPe0Xqj-RkvDKi1v-guVHe1GvX9wmmXjnoCtcW9D_FPUa9UOCTadv7C6urHX/s1600/OB-traditional+patterns+.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ikat                                     Suzani </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />I fear that Ikat (chevron is a staple of this traditional Indonesian design) and  Persian Suzani (with it's bold circular motifs ) are not far behind in the over used category.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKhXFkpcXeVZ13BJRhyAn74PUYVVM8HioYpXMGrG1-4iGy6z3rPcTrqIS8kjKtXgqRGCXbkPVFVDK8edKbcNSLxXhyphenhyphennB95qcKgEK005YC9Yei1t5bVTB1MrtbgA1prm1G8Qhf7am94n2jV/s1600/shibori0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="277" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKhXFkpcXeVZ13BJRhyAn74PUYVVM8HioYpXMGrG1-4iGy6z3rPcTrqIS8kjKtXgqRGCXbkPVFVDK8edKbcNSLxXhyphenhyphennB95qcKgEK005YC9Yei1t5bVTB1MrtbgA1prm1G8Qhf7am94n2jV/s1600/shibori0.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://honestlywtf.com/diy/shibori-diy/" style="font-size: x-small;">source</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /> There is chatter that Shibori (Japanese tie dyeing) is the next new pattern to take over in textiles. I can see the appeal of Shibori.  It is geometric (very hot right now), simple on a white background, has multiple patterns possibilities  depending on how it is produced, and has cultural references.  Then there's that indigo blue which feeds into the resurgence of blues and navy in colour trends. <br /><br />You many not be familiar with this age old Japanese technique. Shibori patterns are usually created on white silk by binding, clamping and wrapping around poles and then dipping into indigo dyes.

We had a fantastic time in Florida...always so good to be by the beach! Now that Turkey Day is over, I'm finally getting into the Christmas spirit and this gorgeous home designed by <a href="http://www.summerhousestyle.com/" target="_blank">SummerHouse</a> and photographed by <a href="http://www.rachelkabukala.com/" target="_blank">Rachel Kabukala</a> is inspiring me to get out our decorations! I just love the rustic touches in the home...the ceilings and floors are beautiful! It all feels so cozy, especially with the Christmas decorations! Love the clean and chic bedroom with the pops of turquoise too! If you guys love this look, definitely visit <a href="http://www.summerhousestyle.com/" target="_blank">SummerHouse</a>–I adore their online store! (And since it's Cyber Monday, it looks like a sale is on!) <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?
