Wall Decor Hangs on Unique Personal Preferences
Vendors optimistic about growth, new materials, burgeoning trends. By Jennifer Burton
WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS FOR 2020?
I expect to see significant growth in the wall décor category in 2020 in all distribution channels. Wall décor continues to see endless expansion in the design world, so growth would certainly mirror (no pun intended) the innovative creativity.
WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES FACING THE WALL DECOR INDUSTRY?
The tariffs resulting from the trade war between China and the US still present an obstacle for growth, but this obstacle is certainly surmountable. We are very much concerned with the new development of a worldwide epidemic, the Coronavirus, affecting the health of many, but also making an impact on the world economy, which is always a bit vulnerable.
WHAT ARE THE BRIGHT SPOTS?
Innovation and creativity always the bright spots in our industry. I continue to admire how my peers create beautiful product with new materials, finishes and substrates. The endless energy to build new multi-functional products never ceases to amaze me.
WHAT’S TRENDING?
We are seeing vibrant colors trending as well as mixed materials. Whimsical designs and unique, re-purposed materials always make for handsome wall décor.
