Living trends: raw simplicity

Back to the Essentials - the sober yet natural style is imbued with a blend of tradition, a sense of community and a strong need to get back to basics. The new trend, which we call "raw simplicity", combines modern design with traditional values. It's a promising trend that's gracing the canvases of the autumn 2016 design trends.

Palette of colours and materials

Rough, cool materials like metal and concrete are combined with warm surfaces like skin or solid wood - creating a warm ambience. The autumn programme features natural restraint combined with powerful tones. The colour palette ranges from natural wood tones to various shades of blue and grey. Original red elements provide beautiful accents. [[product:5818282,5654550,451923]] [[product:396828,5775507,5671436]] [[product:5719179,5721168,5671407]]

The dining room: a meeting point for family and friends

The living room and dining room are the centrepieces of the home: for example, in recent years the table has become ever larger. More than any other piece of furniture, it symbolises nostalgia for communal experiences. In my home, the table is at the heart of the flat. With a large wooden table, simple chairs in different colours can be placed to the left and right of the table, and more original chairs at the end of the table. Vases and crockery in matt earthenware emphasise the natural look. Classic ceramic or earthenware jugs are once again in demand, symbolising tradition and the desire to spend quality time around the table with the family.

Rough simplicity in the living room

The dining room isn't the only place in the house where you spend time and welcome guests. The living room is also one of the living rooms. Beautiful sofas that can quickly be transformed into guest beds also convey the message of the look.
