Weddings: The Bridgerton effect<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Thank Shonda Rhimes and Netflix for an influx of Regency-inflected inspiration. The Bridgerton influence is real, as evidenced by increased interest in puffed-sleeve wedding dresses, feathered headpieces and long gloves. Regency-era details are embellished and romantic; lines are simple, with scoop necks and empire waists. If you\u2019re not a bride-to-be, don\u2019t worry\u2014\u201cThe Queen\u2019s Ball: A Bridgerton Experience\u201d is coming to Montreal, L.A., Chicago and Washington, where guests can hobnob with actors in period dress and attend a beautifully accurate Regency ball.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Technology_Tricks_on_sleeves\"><\/span>2. Technology: Tricks on sleeves<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Global spending on wearable tech devices was predicted to top $81.5 billion in 2021, according to a study by research company Gartner Inc., and is poised to increase another 15 per cent in 2022. American startup Nextiles has patented the items required to create \u201csmart thread\u201d\u2014conductive threads powered by data sensors that can be blended with cotton, spandex, polyester, etc., and woven into fabric. In high-performance athletic wear, it can be used to collect detailed biometric data based on the slightest change in motion, speed, acceleration and more, which, according to Forbes, has piqued the interest of the NFL and MLB. Will smart clothing for all be far behind? Experts say no.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Fashion_Easing_back_to_work\"><\/span>3. Fashion: Easing back to work<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many people are returning to the workplace\u2014trouble is, we\u2019ve gotten used to being dressed from the waist up. Transitional clothing will focus on comfort and function without sacrificing style or sustainability. Earth-friendly materials like Tencel, made from lyocell and modal fibres, as well as fabric blends made from recycled plastic or cotton are the future. Think fluid layers that feel like your softest pyjamas, but that also\u2014with the right accessories\u2014look like a dream.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1230744\" style=\"width: 364px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-sizes=\"auto\" class=\" wp-image-1230744 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DESIGN-TRENDS-COX-THOMPSON-NOV12-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"354\" height=\"516\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">A reusable takeout container.

Packaging: Rethinking takeout<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The impending government ban on food containers made from \u201chard-to-recycle\u201d plastics like polystyrene and black plastic plus the rise in takeaway food during the pandemic have created a burgeoning industry. Businesses providing reusable takeout containers are popping up in Toronto, Edmonton, Vancouver and smaller cities like Waterloo and Guelph, Ont. Stainless steel containers are most popular, bringing the tiffin lunch boxes of India to mind.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1230746\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-sizes=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-1230746 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DESIGN-TRENDS-COX-THOMPSON-NOV12-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"331\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Illustration by Antony Hare)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Home_decor_Round_we_go\"><\/span>5. Home decor: Round we go<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Furniture for every room is softening its edges, from swayback sofas with rolled arms to chubby accent seating to channel-tufted dining chairs. Curves, circles and arches provide visual comfort from the realities of the outside world. Multi-use modular couches are retro-inspired, part of the 1970s resurgence that also includes velvet, moody eggplant and mustard, cylindrical seating and pill-shaped tiles for backsplashes and bathrooms.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Travel_On_the_road_again\"><\/span>6.

RV and camper van sales increased over the past 18 months as people sought a safe way to escape and enjoy the outdoors with their bubbles intact. The road-trip trend will continue along with its boho-inflected aesthetic as people decorate vehicles like vacation homes. Experts also predict an increase in hobby-based travel and wellness retreats as folks seek out more personalized experiences to maximize time off.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Food_Flexing_it\"><\/span>7.

Plant life: Leafy clean<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As we ease into post-pandemic life, air-purifying plants are the next big thing. While an oft-quoted 1989 NASA study showed that plants can remove or absorb toxins in the air, the number of plants required to make a difference is too many for the average home. But there are still benefits to having plants such as rubber trees, which remove formaldehyde; spider plants, which can remove up to six different types of toxins, including carbon monoxide; and leafy bamboo palms, which can remove ammonia (a key ingredient in cleaners, which may be in increased use at home).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1230745\" style=\"width: 1510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-sizes=\"auto\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1230745 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DESIGN-TRENDS-COX-THOMPSON-NOV12-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Corner of modern kitchen with white and green walls, wooden floor, green cupboards and bar. 3d rendering (Ismagilov\/iStock)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1230742\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-sizes=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-1230742 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DESIGN-TRENDS-COX-THOMPSON-NOV12-05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Illustration by Antony Hare)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Kitchens_Wheres_the_fridge\"><\/span>9.

A warmer aesthetic is struck by rustic accents like natural textured tile, dark cabinets in maroon or olive green and a single, long open shelf replacing upper cabinets.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em>This article appears in print in the January 2022 issue of<\/em> Maclean\u2019s <em>magazine with the headline, \u201cCalm, cool and connected.\u201d Subscribe to the monthly print magazine <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/secure.macleans.ca\/loc\/MME\/head_subscribe\">here<\/a>.<\/em><br \/>\n<span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async defer crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
