Designer in Profile: Mary Georgiou Position within company Founder and Principle Designer Company Designer Touches Ltd Website www.designertouches.co.uk What direction do you feel design is moving towards in general terms? Significant trends from the fashion design stage, music and the film industry all have a reflection on interior design and changes in client’s tastes. We recently had a client who was inspired by the TV series The Vikings and wanted us to create a scheme around this theme. Name five key themes to consider when approaching design in 2016 and beyond. 1) Coloured metals, in particularly gold and rose gold, have come back in a very big way and we have seen this across furniture design, accessories and fabrics. They add a sense of luxury and glamour to any design theme. 2) Winter 2016/17 we are going to see a shift in colour palette towards the cooler tones of greys, pearl whites, dusty blues and aqua greens – inspired by the sea. This scheme provides a sense of calm in its environment. Consequently other sea related accessories and artwork will also become popular. 3) Reflective surfaces, in the recent trade fairs that we have attended we have seen many designers use reflective surfaces within their designs, including coloured glass, mirror and pearl. This has been used across wallpaper coverings and furniture design. These materials take advantage of natural light and make even the smallest of spaces feel bright and airy. 4) Natural stones and minerals such as marble and agate are not only being used in kitchens and bathrooms but in furniture design. Agate and marble effect will also been seen on wall coverings and fabric prints. 5) Incorporate styles and trends into your designs because you like them and not just because they are fashionable for that year.
