What We are Shipping at Sarreid…
Now that we have our cocktails in hand, let’s talk about what we are shipping this summer. Sarreid has been diligently purchasing and restocking the racks in our Wilson, NC warehouse. Trends change as often as the seasons do and so it’s no surprise that what we have been shipping lately reflects the beauty of summer. It’s the season that we all want to bring the outdoors in….
Trend # 1 is all things blue. Pops of color bring life to any space and nothing says coastal more than any shade of blue.
Trend # 2 is a reflection of a sandy beach. Raw, organic and unrefined wood is a summer favorite because it reflects the casualness of the season. The neutral color of unfinished wood can anchor any room just as the sandy shores do a coastline.
Trend # 3 is reminiscent of afternoon clouds. There is just something about summertime and sunshine which is why designers still go for bright whites any chance they get.
Trend # 4 is is endless waves. As summer trends lean towards neutral colors and materials, designers are craving items that can wake up the senses without color. Texture and patterns such as waves can bring a boring piece to life.
