Here is out in the UK at the moment...and what will be with us in Summer.
I just LOVE how Africa is an inspiration to some of the trends.
Info from Trendbible:
Chlorophyl Green

We flagged this trend up as a key look for Spring 2010, and we love the way the mid-market brands have used this acidic bright to lift dark and sophisticated tones like chocolate with navy for summer. Stone and neutral shades give this a really commercial look for living room and outdoor dining.Gypsy Florals

Florals have a painterly quality for cushions and bedding, smaller ditzy sprigs were also evident, as were hand-crafted techniques like embroidery and tapestry which adds to the home made vibe continuing this summer.Tribal
Below is a page from our Transcultural story from the Trend Bible Spring Summer 2010 forecast for home interiors, which took inspiration from African culture.

The tribal story has been at the centre of lots of our discussions with our clients this season- just how commercial is it for the average customer? We think there are ways of tapping into this trend without embracing the whole ethnic trend, but we found some great examples, above, of how to execute this trend for textiles.The British are Coming!

Anyone sick of Union Jacks yet? This trend is stiiiilllll unfurling….yawn. But it does have a new lease of life in new colour palettes which take it away from the traditional red white and blue. Watch out for regal influences creeping through, we loved the hand-rendered looking crown prints at Heal’s (above). Incidentally we’re working on how to update this trend for Spring 11, where we think it will raise it’s head again, and then in Spring 12 we have the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee – so don’t think this patriotic look is going anywhere soon!Colour Clash
For our Spring Summer 2010 forecast, we developed a trend called Eccentric which was all about the playful colour clash between oranges, corals and pinks (see below colour spread).

We loved the colours at Habitat this season (below), which clashed neon oranges and vivid pinks- delicious!

Going Dotty

Dots have been big news for 3 summers now and this time round they look fresh worked into stripes, as border prints for plates and in bold colour against white grounds.Above images; bedding and chair by Habitat; dot plates by Heal’s.
Geometric

How many times do we need to say it? Geometric pattern is big! Look out for pixels, colour blocking, angular faceted shapes, linear form….Spirograph

3D letters in fabric or metal, printed number repeats, embroidered and appliqued numbers on kids bedding and bath towels- typography is big news this summer.The New Stripe

We love stripes as borders, grid style stripes and stripes made from dots…which leads us to…
