Spring 2024 - 21
Baby
What's Hot: " The baby market is full of so much beauty
right now, " enthused Traci Bixby of Mossy Blue Paper Studio.
" Celestial and outdoor themes are huge, as are woodland
and forest creatures. [There's a] sense of slowing down and
celebrating the natural world, of staying in the moment.
Deep, bold and moody colors are at the forefront with dreamy
highlight colors. Mountains, trees, moons and stars bring a
sense of wonder and magic. "
Tried & True: " Florals and greenery are still very popular, "
pointed out Lynn Lundberg, creative director, Carlson Craft.
" We especially love all the vintage floral motifs and soft
watercolors currently in the market. They're perfect for baby
shower invites or birth announcements. We're watching a new
minimalist trend where the focus is on the baby's photo(s),
and the baby's name is displayed prominently in modern
typography formats on a white background. [This echoes]
minimalist-inspired open floor plans for the nursery as well
as furniture with arching lines or edges that blend seamlessly
with other areas of the home. "
" Sweet and dreamy colors like soft blues, greens and rose
tones are always tried and true, " added Bixby. " [So are]
elements that inspire a sense of wonder and magic and
comforting, serene colors that make the nursery a calm and
cozy space. "
Also Look for: Gender-neutral earth tones and warm, soft
palettes like rust, beige and shades of green. For design themes,
think woodland animals, bears, mushrooms, Western elements
and of course safari animals. " We're also noticing that arches -
either as a die cut or within the art itself, for example, florals
forming an arch - have remained quite popular in baby as well
as other occasions, " noted Lundberg.
Designer Quote: " New baby gifting, whether for a shower or
the announcement of a baby on the way, is the second highest
spend next to wedding gifts. There is a wide consumer range that
will purchase baby gifts, from coworkers to friends and family.
This presents a fantastic opportunity for retailers to fill this need
with awesome gifts and a great personal shopping experience. "
