Herbaceous Atrium: Nature’s Fantasy Indoors
One of the highlights of this season is our Herbaceous Atrium trend, which brings the outside world into interior spaces. This theme immerses designers in a flora-and-fauna fantasy with oversized floral motifs and abstracted leaf patterns that make nature feel tangible indoors. Expect to see textures layered with intricate details—like the veins of a leaf or the subtle creases of a petal—giving rooms a tactile, biophilic connection to the natural world.

Lush Veranda, Lavender Wander, and Orchid Oasis: Color Stories that Evoke Escape
Three of this season’s color palettes, Lush Veranda, Lavender Wander, and Orchid Oasis, offer a fresh perspective on using nature-inspired hues in interiors. Lush Veranda combines vibrant greens with subtle earth tones, evoking the sense of a tropical hideaway. Meanwhile, Lavender Wander depicts a spectrum of purples, from calm lavender to moody purples. Orchid Oasis combines the serenity of these greens and purples, creating a calming yet bold escape that is as soothing as it is sophisticated. For the first time, this report uses key shades to build out the palettes - incorporating the greens and purples featured in Lush Veranda and Lavender Wander, Orchid Oasis adds dimension with purple hues for a unique color treatment.
