Design ideas

Wallpaper design suggestions;

Getting a range of backgrounds where any of the magnet designs can be placed upon, creating up todate trends which you can change by the week.

Different trends placed upon the magnets, which can then be placed upon the background wallpapers to create a definite trend to follow, or if not a great follower of trends the magnets can be mix and matched to create you own.

around 4 ideas within each collection which will be in different colour ways.

TREND FORECASTS AT INTERIORS UK 2012

INTERIORS UK teamed up with Global Color Research™ and digital wall covering brand Tektura, and invited innovative students from the Birmingham Institute of Art & Design to explore 2012/13 trend predictions from Mix Publications.

The results were creative, challenging and provocative - Birmingham City University’s Trend project for INTERIORS UK 2012 looks set to be the best yet. The partnership is in its fifth year and has resulted in over 500 students engaging with interiors industry experts and - as a result - gaining work placements, internships and employment.
