DESIGN TRENDS AT THE NY NOW TRADE SHOW (aka NYIGF)…

As an interior designer, its important to stay abreast of the latest trends in design and decor. One such trade show that allows me to do so is NY Now, previously know as the New York International Gift Fair (NYIGF). Drawing 35,000 attendees from all 50 states and 80+ countries, the fair is held in January and August at the Javits Center and Pier 94 in NYC. The fair hosts 2,800 exhibitors showcasing the best in home, lifestyle and gift lines.

Trends in interiors often follow fashion. Color still reigns supreme. To contrast that, I spotted a trend towards black & white – another big fashion trend this season. I also noticed quite a few vendors featured textural elements and metal finishes in their wares. Feathers are a big trend featured in every thing from lighting to accents and accessories to wallpaper.Having run out of power on my phone twice from taking pictures, here are some of my favorites from my visit to the fair this past week:

Until January, happy trend spotting…

Peace and Blessings,
