At Homi the password is the decor! So, go ahead to experiments and trends for next year. As in textiles, with the arrival of autumn come the news even in the color field.

Since 2016, the tones are softened and the ranges are in the nuances of the earth, with dusty solutions. The linen will have shades of orange, beige, even available in many brightly colored floral patterns.
And in the wake of an imperative, to make life easier everyday, here are rugs and blankets woven in eco or design fabrics, machine washable, functional and graphic-inspired fashion.

This edition of Homi highlighted that the styles are standardizing and clearly outlining to the new, but with a reference to the heat of what it was.
