We have experienced a strong shift towards natural elements, especially when it comes to interior cladding.

As our lives become more stressful and technologically heavy, it seems that we crave hues, materials, and textures that bring us back to Earth.

While grey remains prominent and is loved by all for its serenity and elegance, we are seeing warmer tones emerging in the form of Greige (also known as “taupe”), a blend of grey and beige, which, unlike the cooler greys we are used to, this color proposal brings a touch of freshness and naturalness.

It’s not just the neutral colors that work in this trend, the beauty of wood grain does as well. Wood, as a natural product, is perfect to complement this look. These warm finishes will pair perfectly with smooth lines and restrained details.

The Nature series expresses the essence of natural wood, both plywood and OSB, with the elegance of the shapes that make Panelate decorative panels a benchmark in the industry.

We also saw a very literal interpretation of color and nature working together in the 2017 Pantone color. Greenery struck our interiors with the force of nature, and this year it will continue to do so in more than one way. Whether used as a wall paint color, in furniture cladding, or as accessories in the form of plants or vertical gardens. Panelate has fully embraced this fresh tone and its possible variations.

Green communicates peace, balance, and harmony. It can rejuvenate and restore walls and furniture, giving the feeling of being connected to nature, helping to feel well and at ease… hence its popularity in current interior design.

In 2018, the green trend has remained in the form of sage tones, with grey also appearing as neutral greys and dark grey tones. Peachy Pink is also a contender in this trend, providing a great burst of color while still resonating with the earthy tones we love.

And well, we believe we can say with complete confidence that “textures meet nature” remains one of our favorite trends.
