    Our Top 3 Interior Design Trends for this Fall

    Time to read: 3 minutes. —

    It’s back to school time! As we reach the end of the summer and holidays, this is also a perfect time to make some changes. Be it new goals in your professional or personal life, now is also the ideal time to rethink your home decor, especially if you are planning a move! The many home decor trends for this fall provide plenty of inspiration for cozy designs, in preparation for colder days…

    The Great Comeback of Caning

    Caning is a technique that originated in the eighteenth century. This method is often used with rattan to create woven chairs and sofas. This vintage design pairs very well with the velvet trend. A chair with a velvet cushion and a cane backrest will add a unique touch to a cozy setting.

    Caning can also be featured on larger pieces of furniture such as tables and cabinets. Moreover, this original weaving method helps to air out your decorative scheme.

    Our design tip: add a wireless LED lamp to your cane table for a modern contrast.

    Velvet, for a Soft Interior

    Velvet, known for its soft texture, adds a retro touch to your setting. Widely available in home design and fashion markets, this fabric is the perfect ally for a smooth fall season! It adds both elegance and comfort to your living space and comes in a variety of colors on different types of furniture. For example, this could mean a duck blue velvet sofa.

    We suggest that you pick out colors that are slightly darker, such as burgundy, navy blue or terracotta, which is a real hit this year! Pastel colors would be most suitable here for adding a modern and colorful touch to the room.

    Inspiration

    Velvet itself comes in several forms:

    • Short-pile velvet: without surprise, this type of velvet bears a close resemblance to suede.
    • Corduroy: this pile is designed with an extra weft, which gives the velvet its vertical lines.
    • Silk-velvet: this is one of the most difficult fabrics to work with, its fluidity and silky appearance establish it as one of the most luxurious types of velvet.
    • Crushed velvet: it is recognizable by its moiré and irregular aspect that is due to a special manufacturing technique used to flatten the pile.

    Round Shapes

    Just like velvet, the goal here is to bring softness to your interior. Nowadays, you can easily come across a circular coffee table, as well as a rounded pouffe, or even a strikingly curved vase. This trend is a nice way to offset the straight angles that are often found in industrial designs, and create a relaxing atmosphere within your home.

    On top of that, a great variety of round furniture and decorative objects are available, giving you plenty of room for originality. For instance, you may consider a simple LED light ball for your bedside table, or a large round dining room table with chairs that can be stored in such a way to preserve its shape.

    Originality also comes in the form of a LED light ball. For small rooms, a luminous half-sphere will be ideal, whereas a luminous golf ball will be more appropriate for larger spaces and golf enthusiasts in particular!

    The choice of lighting during an event is not always an easy task. SMART AND GREEN LED lights are varied in both their design and size to best meet any request. As a first step, it is important to take into account the size of the event. The larger it is, the more it will be possible to arrange it with imposing lights and vice versa. 

    Wireless table lamps are ideal for creating original design table runners while providing a light source that will enhance a meal. The advantage of some is their handle. This enables them to be easily transported or even hung over tables. 

    As a general rule, table lamps are relatively light, enabling them to be easily transported. Find our decorating ideas with this type of lamp in the article: “Enhance your tables with LED table lamps!”

    Luminous Furniture: Practical and Remarkable

    Luminous furniture is a two-in-one solution that facilitates the task. Imagine lighted tables scattered all around with your guests enjoying an aperitif on them. Create an event from the application to schedule a “flashing” lighting ambiance to announce the opening of the ball. Rather original, isn’t it?

    Hidden Meaning Behind Colors

    Every event has its own theme, which will be illustrated by the staging of this event, which includes multiple choices, for example, which flowers to set on the tables, the colors of the table-clothes, which kind of music… 

    Lighting is an easy way to fine-tune the staging of an event. You can follow these tips and advice on how to chose the lighting that is right for you:

    • A white colored lighting gives a feeling of classy and refine. It goes with everything.
    • A purple colored lighting symbolizes magic. This attractive shade awakens our spiritual sense, ideal for an event which would be about fantasy or fairy tales.
    • A blue colored lighting is often used for kick offs. A symbol of loyalty, it is an ideal shade to build a stable relationship with your audience, for example, your employees in a team building effort.
    • A red colored lighting represents seduction and desire. There’s no better color for a masquerade themed party.
    • A green colored lighting is soft and can represent nature and optimism. A perfect shade for an event about environment, beauty or health.
    • A yellow colored lighting, similar to white, works in every event. It can bring a friendly and warm atmosphere to your nights.
    • An orange colored lighting will be the right choice to electrify your guests. As orange brings energy and vitality, we advice this color if you wish to organize a dynamic event.
    • A pink colored lighting is the ideal choice for bachelorette party-like gatherings. It can be a perfect shade if you wish to create a joyful, positive and youthful event.

    Choosing the right lighting for your event is crucial to bring its atmosphere and theme to life. It is up to you to decide what suits your ideas the best! Dare to mix and match and try new color combinations to bright up your diners, parties or even game nights!

    Lights For Indoor And Outdoor Decoration

    There are a multitude of items that can decorate both the interior and exterior of your house or apartment. For example, it is quite usual to see a light cube outside, yet it can also decorate and enhance a living room.

    This depends on the taste of each person as much as on the material of the products. In particular, the weather factor must be taken into account if you want to decorate your garden, your terrace, or your balcony.

    Indeed, while arranging decorative objects both inside and outside has become quite common, it is also due to the fact that the design of the products is evolving. Nowadays, many products offer a certain resistance to water, heat, and cold weather.

    Tables Lamps, The Accessory That Goes Everywhere

    Whether it be the OLIO table lamp, the STELE, or the TUB, each will be able to find its place on your garden table as well as on your dining room table.

    On the one hand because they are small table lamps and therefore easily moved. On the other hand, because their lighting power and color vary according to your desires. This enables each lamp to adapt perfectly to a darker environment, such as outdoors at night, as well as to an environment with more artificial light, such as indoors in an already brightly lit room. 

    These are objects that can find their place anywhere, enabling you to create an atmosphere at your dinner parties. 

    However, they are not the only elements to possess this characteristic. We can apply the same principle to a chair, a light fixture, or a cushion, etc. Many objects can be adapted to the interior as well as to the exterior.
