The autumnal palette will evolve in 2018. That means deep-coloured fabrics, prints and tiles being used alongside pastel accent colours.

There’s a trend towards a retro print theme across the board from furniture to soft furnishings, for example, instead of button backs we’re using a pleated method in booth seating.

It also means we are working on bold, characteristic designs coupled with an antique finish, across the board from lighting, tiles, flooring and signage. For example, we created a bespoke geometric design dancefloor for a bar in Nottingham, where we used a vinyl tile in vivid blues against softer greys and taupes. The retro theme also plays out from shapes to leaf prints, which are coming back, alongside a polished, minimal interior.

In offices, the trend in eating and break-out areas is to switch to taller seating and merge the space to give an informal feel but encourage productivity.
