Our Trend Advisors focus on colorful and cozy pillows, planters with faces, colors inspired by food and a crocheted sun.
“Handmade in Milan, SOHIL’s Aylin pillow pairs vibrant Manuel Canovas linen with exclusive artisan embroidery from Casablanca, crafted just for SOHIL. Founder Katrin Herden treats every pillow as a one-off art piece, blending vintage finds, bold textiles, and a playful eye for the unexpected—perfect for today’s move toward colorful, collected, and highly personal interiors.” — Saana Baker The Textile Eye (Photo courtesy of SOHIL)
“During a recent trip to Andreas (outside of Frankfurt, Germany) I was so impressed with the rows and rows of planters. The theme that caught my attention was faces. A variety of shapes and sizes were available. I believe it ties back to the notion that people are feeling disassociated from each other and from nature and this is the perfect way to bring some whimsy and to remind us of our connection to friends and family as we celebrate the flora of the season.” — Leigh Ann Schwarzkopf Project Partners Network (Photos courtesy of Leigh Ann Schwarzkopf)
“This month’s notable will focus on the ‘foodification’ trend seen in social media that blends the concepts of food, color and décor. Tomato Girl Red, Blueberry Milk, Butter Yellow, Peach Fuzz and Matcha Tea are conversations this spring in fashion, cosmetics and décor. Behr color equivalents to these trends are: Top Tomato, a juicy Mediterranean red inspired by sun-drenched tomatoes; Blue Me Away, a blend of lavender and baby blue reminiscent of a blueberry smoothie; Frittata, a delicious cheerful buttery yellow; Peach Glow, a soft fuzzy orange with a vintage edge; and Fresh Brew, a calming earthy green that represents wellness. — Erika Woelfel Behr Paint Company (Photos courtesy of Behr Paint Company)

“Natalia Brilli’s presentation at the most recent Maison et Objet combined humor, handcraft and high style. Drawing upon her Italian roots with references to sunshine and seashore, she designs in Belgium and works with skilled crochet artisans in Madagascar. Her natural raffia pieces are whimsical and casual, yet also stylish and responsible. They satisfy the need for humor, and for that special, unique feeling artisanal product brings to the home.
