Dip-Dyed Design

Soft ombre effects put a lovely boho spin on products

Implications - From time to time, tie dye becomes prevalent in design, but now something softer is coming to the fore. Ombre, or dip dye, is inspiring everything from fashion to furniture. Both consumers and designers crave color, but it is often hard to incorporate or can look very harsh against neutral tones. Dip dye provides a gradual play on color, which creates a softer and more sophisticated way to add vibrancy to a design or product.
Trend Themes
1. Ombre Effect - The gradual and soft play on color provides a more sophisticated way to add vibrancy to a design or product.
2. DIY Temporary Hair Coloring - Temporary hair coloring solutions allow consumers to try out the dip-dye style without the damage or commitment.
3. Personalized Gradual Fading Color - Personalized gradual fading color provides endless opportunities for unique and creative expression across many industries.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Ombre effect and DIY temporary hair coloring have influenced many fashion trends.
2. Home Decor - Ombre effect and personalized gradual fading color has influenced the design of furniture, containers, and other household items.
3. Food and Beverage - Personalized gradual fading color has influenced many food and beverage trends.
