From classic to modern – four styles for 2019
Every year, Annetta Palmisano and her colleagues of Stilbüro bora.herke.palmisano compile the decoration trends for the coming Christmas season. Below we outline four styles for the 2019 season.
Style “tender festivities”
The “tender festivities” style radiates tranquillity and silence – poetic-modern transparency and fog optics of light meet materials such as stone, mother-of-pearl and paper. © iXtenso/Pott
The colour palette captivates with pastel shades, neutral nuances and delicately shimmering gold. © iXtenso/Pott
Sources of inspiration – moon (light), stars (dust) © iXtenso/Pott
Style “essential ceremonies”
„Essential ceremonies“: The choice of colours includes cool, neutral on the one hand and warm, earthy tones on the other. Matcha green once again underlines nature as a source of inspiration. © iXtenso/Pott
This style is characterised by the interplay of naturalness, modernity and rusticity. © iXtenso/Pott
“Essential ceremonies” combines craftsmanship with nature. Sources of inspiration – dry, brittle, cracked structures of nature/ simplicity, rustic craftsmanship aesthetics © iXtenso/Pott
Style “sweet traditions”
“Sweet traditions” is a cheerful and charming style. Cute and witty details and a young charisma are characteristic for this style. © iXtenso/Pott
Sources of inspiration – Norwegian and repeat patterns, checks, diamonds, braids, hand-written/drawn; diverse materials: white, milk, net, thread glass, ornaments on vases and candlesticks, knitted and paper works. © iXtenso/Pott
The colours are reminiscent of Ginger Bread, Nougat, Bittersweet, Strawberry and Coconut – classic red and green are an eye-catcher in themselves! © iXtenso/Pott
The surfaces are imaginatively reminiscent of icing sugar and sugar pearls as well as caramel lustre. Naive as well as traditional motifs find their place here. © iXtenso/Pott
Style “luminous celebrations”
Bright colours and glamorous surfaces underline the “Luminous celebrations” style. The theme is clear: party shine, sparkling and dazzling looks, music of the future. © iXtenso/Pott
Sources of inspiration – shimmering surfaces and coloured metallic lustre; sequins, shimmering tiles, lurex effects, feathers and velvet; crystals, marble, bronze and gold round off the style. © iXtenso/Pott
All colours captivate with a luminous basic tone. Elegant dark shades blend with intense, eye-catching nuances; metallic colours and colour gradations merge with each other. © iXtenso/Pott
