The report highlights 18 different trends, ranging from “Celebration of Minimalism” to “Materialistic”, from “Form Driven Inspiration” to “Colour & Creative Craftmanship”.

“It’s always intriguing to see Market through the individual eyes of each Style Spotter, as each has such a distinctive design style,” said Michelle Jennings Wiebe, Style Spotter Emeritus in her intro report. “With so much ground to cover, it’s nearly impossible to see everything, no matter how many steps you put in. So, sit back and enjoy these fabulous pieces. Find your favorites and see which trends you think will become stronger over the next year.”
