Lifestyle Trends in 2020
Neutral color palettes are still very popular in Vanguard’s designs. Now more than ever, the trending neutrals are more warm… even the grey color palette seems to be a warmer grey (not a cool grey). These neutral color palettes are then accented with pops of color. Harriet also mentions how Vanguard has seen a lot of lilac, plum, and merlot colors trending in the market place. All shades of blue (from deepest indigo to sea-mist) are still very strong for Vanguard, and greens seem to be turning from emerald greens to a more yellow-green.

Vanguard Furniture & Consumer Trends
According to Harriet, one of the biggest trends in the marketplace is casual comfort … it’s no surprise that people are living more casually in their homes throughout this pandemic. One way Vanguard has embraced this more casual way of living is by adding deeper, lower upholstery to their products. Finally, upholstery that you can really curl up in. For the same reason, Vanguard has expanded their performance fabrics assortment to accommodate everyday living. Now, people can purchase custom upholstery and feel comfortable knowing that their furniture can withstand the wear-and-tear of daily life. Who doesn’t want a piece of furniture that they designed, or their designer designed specifically for their space? Vanguard’s Make It Yours Collection gives a designer that exact opportunity. Similarly, Vanguard is also expanding their Lillet Collection, which addresses the traditional market, and their Dune Collection, which addresses the modern/casual market. Both will feature new additions in the dining and occasional product categories.
