Refreshingly discreet into the spring season with "hearted + minimal”

2 Mar 2022

Christmasworld Trends 22+ under the motto "Facing forward" provide retailers with orientation for individual assortment compilation and window dressing for the festive season. For Easter, the focus is on the "hearted + minimal" style world. The style agency stilbüro bora.herke.palmisano gives tips for a trend-oriented implementation in the shop.

Those who love minimalism will find this style world particularly appealing. Because the clear lines, restrained colours and natural materials create a calm and pleasant living atmosphere. Cross-seasonal ornaments and motifs, timeless décors and durable materials convey permanence - and are therefore ideal for transferring from Christmas to Easter.

"hearted + minimal goes very well with Easter. The soft colours with gold as an accent, the minimalism with discreet but thoroughly decorative blossoms on porcelain pendants as shown in the trend collage allow the transfer from the Christmas tree to the Easter bouquet. The stylised pendants in the shape of a heart and a blossom are reminiscent of real jewellery and are also conceivable for the breakfast table on Easter Sunday. Combine them with candles in the colours shown. Delicate blossoms from floristry complete the picture," advises trend expert Claudia Herke.

In hearted + minimal, subtle colours determine the palette. The neutral range is dominated by a light grey-white, a medium grey and deep black. In the cool range, a Nordic blue, frosty mint and wintry green. The warm colour row starts with gold, followed by soft maple and mild rosé.

"The desire for more sustainability is omnipresent, is growing day by day and permeates all style worlds. At hearted + minimal, for example, rely on bio-based and biodegradable materials, paper and algae as well as durable natural materials such as wood and stone. Glass adds a filigree touch, as do floral motifs and accents in gold and brass. Shiny decorations and fragrant beeswax give candles a romantic touch," Herke adds.

Christmasworld: Seasonal Decoration at its best
Christmasworld focuses on the strongest-selling and most emotional time of the year and exploits the success factor of experience at the point of sale like no other consumer-goods trade fair. This makes it the world's most important ordering event for the international decorations and festive decorations sector. Every year in Frankfurt, it presents the latest products and trends for Christmas and all other festive occasions. In addition, it provides innovative concept ideas for the decoration of large and outdoor areas for wholesalers and retailers, shopping centres and city centres. Christmasworld offers the entire range of decorative and festive articles - from hand-blown Christmas tree baubles, ribbons and packaging to large-scale light displays for shopping centres and city centres.

Home of Consumer Goods - the new one-stop shop for the global ordering season
Under the motto "Home of Consumer Goods", Ambiente, Christmasworld and Creativeworld will be held simultaneously for the first time at one of the world's most modern trade-fair centres from 3/4 to 7 February 2023. In particular, the new design of the Working product area under the umbrella of Ambiente, the world's leading trade fair for the sector, will create future-oriented impulses. The newly created combination of three successful leading fairs at one venue at one time thus combines their strengths and offers an unprecedented, simultaneously available, future-oriented product range in terms of quality and quantity. Frankfurt is once again the centre of the global ordering season, strengthens synergy effects and efficiency for all participants and is thus the one, comprehensive inspiration, ordering and networking event for a globalised industry. This is where the hottest trends are presented and the global metatrends are experienced and made visible.
