gather
Expanding our “pod” because we can and we missed you. Invite guests over for an outdoor picnic & bonfire in the backyard or on the beach. Join a club with others doing something you feel passionate about. Go to an actual gym or spin class, eat out at your favorite restaurant. We are all eager to be out and about and to socialize again. Oh hey you... I almost forgot what you looked like! Great to see you!

Trend Characteristics
The color palette for Gather has depth and richness, just like our conversations with friends. I think about the colors of a table setting from the wood tones of the table to the rich greenery on the table scape. Perhaps the wine, bread, and food that we share with one another. Coming out of the last year, we have gained an appreciation for a different setting. Dinner parties set up in a barn where there is texture paired with a livable comfort.
Project: DIY Candlelight Trays
Ursula, from Homemade by Carmona, used the 2022 FrogTape® Design Trend "Gather" to create decorative wooden trays that can be used as a table centerpiece. She used warm tones and pillar candles to add extra coziness and highlight this trend that encourages us all to come together.

- Set the mood and ambiance for your long awaited, much anticipated gathering so that it is as perfect as you imagined it would be. I know you’ve had plenty of time to think about it! Create your own centerpieces using a mason jar and dipping it in paint or hot gluing twine to it.
- Paint your kitchen cabinets or fireplace in a rich tone like navy, dark teal, or forest green.
- Try sprucing up your game boards to give it a more custom feel.
