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.

This will be an immersive retail experience, showcasing their unique plants, seasonal decor, artisan gifts, and more.

Vintage Vibes

By Cathy Schneider, Sphere Trending Trend Futurist, Director of Color Theory

While the appeal of retro is not necessarily new news, we continue to see it popping up at tradeshows and trendspotting. At the most recent High Point furniture market, vintage vibes were strong – especially with patterns and soft goods.

These layered fabrics felt fresh yet familiar – we can just picture them adding the perfect accent to a cool, cozy home.

60’s & 70’s Chic

By Lonnie Johnson, Sphere Trending Market Analyst

Forward fashion that looks back to an era of simplicity and fun with easy lines and tons of color.  Pantone suggests it’s all about transformation and imagination. “Colors for NYFW Spring 2024 inspire feeling of release.” (Leatrice Eiseman, Executive director of the Pantone Color Institute) While the colors are rooted in nostalgia, they have been reimaged with a more modern feel.

This fashion trend conjures up disco party vibes and memories of sitcoms and movies of the time.  Remember Mrs. Roper from Three’s Company and of course the classic Saturday Night Fever movie?

As fashion is often the preview for what’s new in home design, we are also seeing the resurgence of retro styling in home decor that inspires feelings of nostalgia. Think Boho Chic Vibe or Mid-Century Modern. So, take a step back in time as the past continues to inspire how we live, how we dress and how we adapt and change with the times.
