As I've said before I'm not an Interior Designer and nor will I claim to be. What I do know is that on a daily basis I get to see what the public are buying throughout the year. As a curtain maker and seamstress and now with Jolee I have 27 years of experience in seeing trends and fashions for household fabrics. I love seeing how the seasons change peoples' buying habits and I don't think there is a country better than the UK for highlighting the differences in the seasons. I don't know about you but my moods and buying habits change through the year. Whilst designs for Oilcloth may change, ultimately the colours roughly stay the same. A new introduction to this over the last 3 years has been more greys and mustard yellow the latter being a colour I absolutely love.

At this time of year with Christmas now behind us we start to look to this strange period between the New Year and the beginning of spring. It never fails to surprise me how every year during every season we see the colours that people order changes. After the period of Christmas and selling lots of Christmas Oilcloth and PVC Vinyl we now see a real shift.

Gone now are the pastel colours and we welcome warmer and deeper colours which is very much in keeping with the weather outdoors. Beige, grey, warm red, oranges and mustard yellows have been popular for the last couple of years. With the designs we see more of a shift towards floral oilcloth designs, plain oilcloth designs and more traditional animal oilcloth designs. Whilst in the summer and spring we might see designs such as our seagull  oilcloth replaced with designs such as  Stags  or hares.

We see it a lot with our food choices during the winter. Salads are for the summer and we find ourselves cooking more 'hearty meals' such as warming stews and soups. It just goes to show how much the weather and the seasons outside influence our interior design decisions and especially when choosing an Oilcloth Wipe Clean Tablecloth for winter. Who knows what the psychology is behind our interior design choices through the seasons but is is clear that it has a bearing on our Interior Design thoughts and buying habits.
