Andrew Martin shares the latest trends in fabric

On the latest trends in fabric, David Harris, Design Director at Andrew Martin shares: “Pattern zoning, an emerging trend, is the art of using different patterns to define distinct areas within a space, creating visual separation without the need for physical dividers. It’s a clever way to add depth, energy, and movement while guiding the eye through a room with intention.”

“Balance is crucial. The key is to create contrast without chaos, so consider scale, colour, and motif. A large-scale geometric print can sit comfortably alongside a delicate floral if they share a common hue, for instance. Layering patterns works best when anchored by solid tones to give the eye a place to rest.”

“Living spaces and bedrooms lend themselves well to pattern zoning, adding definition within open-plan designs. A patterned rug under a seating area or a bold wallpaper behind a dining nook can subtly define zones. Even in smaller rooms, using different patterns on upholstery and walls can add depth without overwhelming the space.”
