CARMEL, Ind., Sept. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Schlage®, a brand of Allegion that has
been creating stylish, innovative door hardware for more than 95
years, today shares insight into the latest home and interior
design styles and trends as well as expectations for their
evolution and continued lifecycle. Schlage's in-house design team
led by Manager of Industrial Design, Ted
Roberts, projects these trends will significantly impact the
category—from door hardware and light fixtures to major appliances
and furniture—through 2017.
Trusted in over 40 million homes, Schlage creates stylish,
innovative products that bring to life the possibilities and
potential of every door in your home. Continually monitoring the
evolving home décor space is integral to the brand's dedication to
creating door hardware that complements consumers' personal tastes
and design preferences.
"While home trends tend to stay relevant longer, with homeowners
updating décor about every five years, our team is continually
monitoring art and fashion trends to inform home décor," said
Roberts. "Schlage is at the forefront of change and is very
forward-thinking when it comes to innovation in design, ultimately
ensuring that our products are aligning with the styles and trends
consumers are looking for in their homes."
Roberts and the Schlage design team have explored macro trends
they see at industry events and tradeshows throughout the year, as
well as how they develop over time. In the brand's latest findings,
those trends and evolutions include:
- The Glamour / Hollywood Regency trend has spawned
interest in the recent rise of geometric designs, which are
increasingly seen in light fixtures, small furniture and accent
pieces. Glamour and Hollywood Regency has transformed from drastic,
clean contrast to incorporating dark greys and even softer tones.
The style is also now often seen blending with elements of Art Deco
and other trends, especially gold and black hues.
- Satin Brass & Gold have evolved from being a niche
finish to one that is much more widely accepted. It has started to
blend with whites and tans rather than being limited to dark,
contrasting colors. These finishes have also been rapidly gaining
retail traction, particularly at mass market retailers.
- Farmhouse & Country Chic has evolved from being
based in dark-toned woods to additionally including lighter wood
finishes and softer color schemes. It is now often seen overlapping
with Industrial style products, particularly in light fixtures and
exposed plumbing.
- The Industrial trend has transitioned from a theme
that would encompass an entire space to manifesting itself in
accessories that can be mixed with other themes. The Industrial
color palette is also becoming lighter while some key elements—such
as pulleys and Edison bulbs—are perpetuating in other styles.
- Mid-Century Modern styles are still very popular in
retail although the "purist" Mid-Century Modern style peaked around
2013. The classic Mid-Century color pallet, which features bright
yellows and oranges, has been replaced by more modern blues, grays,
and black. Overall, the Mid-Century Modern trends have influenced
such a wide variety of design trends that it will continue to
perpetuate for the foreseeable future.
Schlage recently launched "Open Possibilities," a media campaign
designed to support the brand's long-term goal of shifting consumer
perception of door hardware and bringing it to the forefront of the
interior design consideration set. Schlage door hardware offers a
simple way to enhance the look of a home, add another layer of
security, and even make it smarter, which at the end of the day
means Schlage is opening a lot more than just doors. This is in
addition to the brand's ELEVATE Design Collective—a first-of-its
kind alliance that brings industry-leading home design brands
together to create a prominent voice for style-oriented
brands in the interior design space.
- Schlage offers thousands of timeless door hardware combinations
with unique designs and finishes that combine traditional,
transitional and contemporary styles.
- Schlage products are available online at Amazon.com and
Build.com, as well as in retail locations including Home Depot and
Lowe's.
