Gift Shop Plus Fall 2022
It’s a Colorful Life By Julie McCallum

Fall 2022 Trend Report

Bold or calming, colors have the power to influence our moods and inspire creativity. The playful, fun aesthetic of ’90s nostalgia harkens back to the postmodern Memphis Design movement of the ’80s. These reemerging color combinations are bringing a vibrant quirkiness that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Earthy, muted tones appeal to our overstimulated selves who welcome a respite in a neutral cocoon.

Pastels are being used in much bolder ways across a large variety of mediums while blues continue to calm us. The vibrant colors of the tropics speak to our sense of adventure and fun.

Presenting new and exciting color trends in your store creates a visual experience that can inspire and uplift your clientele. Come with us on a colorful journey as we explore the trends with a mix of products on the following pages.
