Firmly established in Paris, the Paris Deco Off 2018 honors the most prestigious international brand designers of fabrics, trimmings, furniture and lighting, and once again proves that Paris is the capital of creation and decoration. In parallel with the grand event of Maison & Objet 2018 I can only imagine  how animated and illuminated the streets of Paris must be this time of year. 

I may not have had the opportunity to wander the streets of Paris this week, but a list of participants' websites has kept me thoroughly entertained, so here are some of my top picks for Paris Deco Off 2018.

Design now is about celebrating everyday luxuries and no fabric does that better than velvet.  A classic, it never really goes out of style and for those of you who are obsessed with the cozy, luxurious textile,  well this is your year to shine.

While pure cotton velvet can stain easily unless stain-guarded, new poly-blend velvets have a lush, luxe feel that are childproof but still as elegant.

This year we are expecting to see this trend on the edges of toss cushions, draping over lamps, weaving its way into upholstery, and even showing up in some other unusual places. 

 Despite the recent rise of minimal, modern, and Scandinavian influences in decor, many signs point to traditional décor making a comeback in 2018.  We are even seeing a blending of these styles to create some really interesting spaces. Nothing seems more far from Scandinavian minimalism than Bohemian eclectic design but the trendiest interior style at present is actually a mix of these two beautiful decorating styles.
