Phew, just finished another article, this time on trends

It's well past my bed time, but thats normal when there's an article to write and the deadline was yesterday.

As New House is pretty up-to-date on all things colour and trend wise, I often get asked to write these sort of articles. To illustrate it I've also been playing about with images that show how the designs in our roller collection didn't just happen by magic (although we do use quite a bit of that), but fit into the wider 2014/15 trends. these are a few of my images :

Brights :  in 2014 slightly artificial brights are key colours. Bubblegum pink, turquoise, tangy orange and glowing yellow are all strong colours in the NH range.

 

Craft Colours :  Temby braid by Laura Fletcher and our hessian fabric with pewter starfish pull.

 

Slate tones :  Deco braid, again by Laura (with a little colour influence from Melanie Darwin if I remember rightly), and Tea & Coffee roller print by Charlotte Farmer.   

There's more I could add, but I did say it's past my bed time.....

*    By the way, the central image comes from the Heimtex 2014 Trend book. They allow the press to download and use them for publication and they will appear in my article with credits. So I guess it's ok to use them here too.
