Home Away From Home

By Riann Henkel, Sphere Trending Trend Futurist, Director of Interior Home

At Sphere Trending, we keep our eyes on all aspects of design from Residential to Architecture to Commercial Design – and this commercial design project stopped us in our tracks. Resimercial (the blending of residential design into commercial spaces) is not a new conversation. But this LSU Locker room project from Designer Wendy Sharp and Artistic Tile took Resimercial design to another level… a level perfect for national champions. We’ve been just as captivated by NCAA ladies basketball as the rest of the country, so seeing sports, resimercial design and elevated luxe blend together so perfectly was inspiring.

The AI Assistant

Mandi Mankvitz, Sphere Trending President of Possibilities

One of the biggest tech trends of 2024, artificial intelligence continues to capture the imagination of those looking to experience design in new and creative ways.  New platforms and experiences are evolving to meet the curiosity of consumers in product design and retail innovation.  We are intrigued to watch this trend play out this year and our reporting covers the myriad of ways this technology will change the landscape of the future.

The Glorified Garden

At Sphere Trending, we always have an eye on how the retail experience is evolving. We were excited to see that Terrain is opening a new location at Brooklyn Botanic Garden. This new partnership will offer a fresh shopping concept for the botanical space. This will be an immersive retail experience, showcasing their unique plants, seasonal decor, artisan gifts, and more.

Color is a Catalyst

Lori Salem, Sphere Trending Market Research & Trend Analyst

A new home philosophy – color is acting as a catalyst for change! This was evident at the latest KBIS and IBS shows in Las Vegas, NV where we saw fresh shades of green bring color to kitchen and bath products.

Romancing the Home

By Emily Siwek, Sphere Trending Trend Futurist, Director of Architectural Design

A new home philosophy is emerging around romanticizing the home – represented in the treatment of interiors and exteriors embracing more decorative details and within the everyday elements of home.

Two new collaborations exemplify this trend – the new Bridgerton collection for Ruggable, based on the strikingly decorative and romantic Netflix series, and Erin Featherston’s collection for Anthropologie that is whimsical and fairytale-esque.
