With a new season comes new living trends. Social developments such as the need for a safe and familiar living environment translate into two concrete housing trends:Safe Haven and Traditional Sentiment. This has been noted by the trend watchers of CBW-recognised.
The current, hardened social climate full of polarization and claims of fake news evokes a need for connection, equality and security in many people. This is also reflected in the new Safe Haven residential trend, which creates a sense of security. Products sometimes merge into one another, creating a flowing whole. The interior seems to embrace you. Within this trend you mainly see a lot of rounded and spherical furniture and accessories. Every now and then the shapes get something droll and seem to become their own characters, designs, on the other hand, are of minor importance. The warm color palette consists of pink and brown tones. These are supplemented with various pastel shades that give the whole an even friendlier and more cheerful appearance during the autumn and winter. Also at the dining table, for example. The soft and fluffy materials are combined with color gradient and semi-transparency. They enhance the soft and safe appearance of the interior.

This autumn and winter we will also see this reflected in the Traditional Sentiment housing trend. In this trend we find traditional shapes with a new and contemporary design. They have been tightened or enlarged. Combinations are also made of new design with special vintage products. This creates an environment that feels familiar. Within the trend, a lot of attention is paid to detailing. Furniture is sometimes inspired by those from the 1950s. The color chart consists of soft, greyish pastel shades and dark colours. The combination of these creates a nostalgic atmosphere during the dark days. The diamond-shaped designs have a contemporary character. The materials are of high quality with a recognizable and reassuring appearance. The trend of familiarity can easily be extended to the festive month of December. For example, by decorating the dining table with colored glassware, a checkered tablecloth and crockery in gray pastel shades. With Christmas baubles, pine and berry twigs you put the last traditional dots on the i.
