Interior Design Trends And My Favorite Finds At Maison & Objet, Paris

Wow! What a show! Maison and Objet is everything I imagined and more! It has been a designer's dream seeing some of the top trends in interior design, and speaking with the vendors who produce these items from all around the world.

It was my very first time attending the show, and although I have been to tons of trade shows in the design industry, I didn't know what to expect here.

Maison and Objet is held at Parc des Expositions de Paris Nord Villepinte. It consists of 8 different halls ranging from craft and gift items, home and fashion accessories to high-end and unique furniture. For me, halls 5-8 are where I mostly focused to acquire new furniture vendors. That is where some of the big names like Brabbu, Fendi, Koket, Hudson Valley had their booths - which were more like showrooms.

It was such a big event - thousands of vendors, and I don't think I saw 50% of them. But I saw enough to be totally inspired and rejuvenated with great new ideas and resources. And of course, true to form for any good designer visiting a top notch show like Maison et Objet, rounding up the top trends is a must.

So here are some of my favorites and top trends for Maison et Objet January 2019. Fair warning! This post will be very picture heavy, but then, that's what you want, isn't it? :-)

Color Trends

It is not surprising that emerald green and navy are holding on. That has been observed as a trend in the U.S. for a while too, and seems like these colors will be hanging around for a while. Black and white combinations, warm neutrals, blush, clay or burnt orange, yellow, and even purple were spotted as well
