Interior Design Trend Forecasting

The interior design industry has changed drastically in past decades. Previous, clients utilizing interior designers spent months waiting for custom furniture that could only be purchased through designers. Today, those same “trade only” vendors have opened retail outlets, and numerous online and brick-and-mortar shops sell ready-made furnishings direct to the consumer. This opening of the market, along with self-assembled quick-ship furniture, as well as the rise of IKEA and other furniture and decor chain stores has created a shift in market similar to the “fast fashion” phenomenon.

Consequently, interior styles used to last 10-15 years. Today interior trends move much faster. If you own a commercial outlet such as a restaurant, hotel, or boutique, you probably need to refresh your space every 5-7 years to remain relevant. If you own or rent a property, you probably get the itch to redecorate even sooner than that.

Using industry trade publications and reports not available to the general public as well as on-the-ground scouting and experience, Carmelle Interiors provides commercial clients (hotels, bars, restaurants, boutiques, and brick-and-mortar offices) the information they need to stay ahead of the curve and attract their target customer. Additionally, developers, real estate agents and, of course, individual home owners also benefit from and enjoy the latest (or upcoming) styles.
