Lifestyle Trends for the Home - AW 11/12
2011 is a year torn between two polar opposite moods; between
being reserved, conservative, careful, investing in the practical
and functional for the long-term benefits, and on the other hand
being exuberant, pushing forward, celebrating life and the end of
the recession.
At times, Autumn Winter sports a devil-may-care attitude as we
see colour and pattern generally reserved for summer seasons used
in wild abandon for winter. There is a sense that the consumer,
although revitalised with a new enthusiasm and the desire for a
fresh start, will still exercise caution and conservatism around
spending and saving with the painful memories of the recession
still fresh in our minds.
