Since Crate and Barrel opened their doors in 1962, they have offered functional products that have sleek shapes, innovative forms, and up-to-date colors.
In order to develop a line that consistently meets the standards they have become known for, their buyers must be tuned into upcoming color and style trends and translate these trends into new products.
Traditionally, such thinking has been done behind-the-scenes and retailers, including Crate and Barrel, haven’t specifically revealed the trends behind the merchandise selected.
Recently, however, Crate and Barrel decided to take a different approach and added a section to their website that offers buyers insight into their key trends and shows the merchandise available in their retail stores and online that is associated with each.
Naturally, this isn’t a complete trend resource, since not all styles or color trends would be right for the store. But sharing the philosophy and trends behind their current product lines is a great way for Crate and Barrel to connect with their customers and assist them in finding perfect items for their homes.
