Gentle Paradox in interior design<\/h3>\n
Within the Gentle Paradox style trend, the predominant shapes are round and spherical. Many of the products consist of a single compact shape without any individual details, with components appearing to have grown together or merged into one. There is an interchange between hard and soft materials. Materials such as marble, concrete, ceramics, plastic, baked tiles and natural stone are common elements, alternating with high-pile carpets on floors and walls. Textiles also play a role, from pleated and ribbed to boucl\u00e9. In terms of patterns, the sky\u2019s the limit, with everything from romantic floral patterns to abstract designs.<\/p>\n
The Gentle Paradox colour palette is soft and conveys a sense of tranquillity and harmony. Neutral colours and pastel shades alternate with a warm cognac colour. Green hues are mostly found in flowers and plants. Flowers often help soften a space and make it more \u2018dreamy\u2019. For example, placing arrangements in corners or on the floor, against the wall. Arrangements are \u2018cloudy\u2019, often with transparent edges and also featuring dried flowers. Individual flowers add a sense of softness with their shape or subtly overflowing colours. For plants, a transparent character and soft leaves, in terms of colour and texture, are also important.<\/p>\n Outdoors, we also see a contrast between hard and soft elements. Round shapes appear in garden furniture, on terraces and on borders. The garden is dominated by circular shapes, kidney shapes and oval shapes that remind us of shingles or stones. Contrast is created by using rounded shapes and hard materials. In terms of plants, we also see an exciting interplay between compact, hard plants and soft, swaying grasses and cloud-like plants. Green plants are planted alongside flowering vegetation in pastel tints. The latter reinforces the dreamlike image that we also see in the interior.<\/p>\n Every year, the Flower Council develops several style trends for the horticulture sector, collaborating with Tuinbranche Nederland, iBulb, INretail, and Bureau Nijman + Van Haaster. The Green Industry Trends for 2024 consist of four style trends that focus on flowers, indoor plants, and outdoor plants.
