The Team IAnD spent a lot of time researching the most notable trends that will shake up the design industry in 2018. Our prediction for what the globe will look like in the next year is as follows: Voice assistants will be present in every market. Voice assistants are now able to manage everything in a smart house, including the temperature, the lights, and the music. They can even place an order for groceries or summon a cab for you. Smart homes have become the standard. This year, a greater number of households will be equipped with sophisticated gadgets such as the Amazon Echo, Google Home, and the HomePod speaker that will shortly be offered by Apple. And it won’t be long until you discover a voice assistant in your bathroom as well, since these very firms are forming agreements with third-party companies in order to make your life easier! All of the products will be packaged in a trustworthy manner. The clean labeling trend, which enlightens customers’ buying choices without confusing or misleading them, is a reflection of the need for components that are straightforward and easily identified. The Global Packaging Trends 2018 research from Mintel indicates that manufacturers will adopt the “essentialist” design philosophy in the next generation of the clean label in order to offer buyers with a sense of serenity and clarity in an environment that is becoming more chaotic in the retail sector. It is becoming more daring to develop graphics. Images are not going to go out of style any time soon; rather, we will begin to see hand-drawn illustrations that are combined with visual effects such as multiple exposures, negative space, or glitches. In 2018, even graphics that are made digitally and coupled with images will succeed in breaking through to the masses. Giving a fresh appearance to kitchens and bathrooms is becoming less difficult than it ever has been before. Despite the fact that all-white kitchens are still popular, we will see a significant increase in the use of jewel tones in strategic places, such as on cabinets, accent walls, and even appliances in the kitchen. In addition, concrete is making a significant presence this year, both as a finish and as an accent material. As a result of the ease with which trendy tile skins may be applied, bathroom renovations can be accomplished in the blink of an eye. The concept of wellness will be front and center in the workplace. This trend will take root if workplaces actively incorporate biophilic design across the workplace. By doing so, it will go beyond just putting a few potted plants about the office. The use of both real and artificial plants, green walls, natural lighting, and patterns and textures that are inspired by nature strengthens this well-established trend that has been shown to benefit the health, productivity, and overall well-being of employees. The lines that separate leisure and schooling will become more blurry. One of the most popular buzzwords in the toy business is “STREAM thinking,” which stands for science, technology, robotics, engineering, art, and mathematics. Nevertheless, this trend that encourages the use of toys that assist children of all ages in using their imaginations, critical thinking, and abilities is getting greater momentum this year as a result of new discoveries and studies. Toys that blend fun and learning will become more popular as a result of this trend. These toys will include robotic kits and colorful toys that engage all of the senses. A multi-textured appearance is achieved on the exterior of buildings. It is expected that the traditional brick facade will continue to be popular in 2018, but the emphasis will shift to combining various textures in order to provide a more tactile experience. Whether it’s about creating contrasting textures by playing around with gloss and matte levels of the same material, using light and dark shades of similar colors, or even mixing and matching complementary materials on to a single surface, the exterior surfaces of homes will now be just as important as the interiors. This comes with a number of implications. The use of augmented reality is becoming more common. It has been reported that augmented reality and immersive technology will be a mainstay in 2018 and beyond, with gesture and emotions serving as the new interface in place of screens and hardware. This is according to reports that were presented at the recently concluded Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2018. Whether it’s experiences in the retail space that allow consumers to ‘try before they buy’, dissemination of knowledge at the workplace through virtual simulation training, or virtual museum visits and the ability to learn from more than just a one-dimensional view of an artefact or photo, augmented reality will change the way we look at things.
