Back in the day, it was either old patterns or simple designs for designers. But in exciting design-world news, these two looks are melding and creating something new and fabulous. Let’s consider how this blend of the old and the new has reconfigured what we count as design.

Old and New Trends in Design Mix

Tradition is what people have always done, and modernity is people trying new things. In design, patterns as basic as flowers or shapes have been with us a very long time. Simple design is, however clean and easily understandable.

Balancing Act in the Market

There is a balance that must be struck between traditional patterns and new styles when designing for people to buy. That means a mix of the classic things people love with fresh ideas that younger people find appealing. In this way, designers can make pieces that are classic but interesting.

Blending Heritage and Turning a Buck

The former is heritage — traditions and values handed down from the old — and the latter is profit — making money. In design, it is often difficult to balance heritage with profit. But by combining both with traditional, simple elements, designers can make things many people will like and be willing to pay more for.

A Clash or a Success?

Combination between traditional patterns and unique design may turn a design failure or a design becoming a great success. It all comes down to how well the two styles combine. By finding that balance between old and new, designers can make something that’s both timeless and trendy — something many people want, and will pay for.

The Changing Value of Design

And as design continues to shift, the value of combining old and new and simple and traditional is shifting too. They are in search of pieces that somehow represent what is best of both worlds — classic patterns with a modern interpretation. Keeping up with these developments has ensured that designers have been able to make not only beautiful items, but also that they are of some worth.
