What Is a Trend Spotlight?
Who Do These Help?
What Surface Pattern Designers Are Saying...



What You're Not Getting...
Because you deserve something of substance—that gives you clear direction.
❌ A philosophical trend forecastÂ
No abstract predictions or cultural think-pieces to interpret. Just straightforward themes and motifs buyers are actually searching for.
❌ A coffee-table 'lookbook'Â
Not just pretty pages—you get clarity, substance, and practical takeaways you can actually design from.
❌ A rigid set of style rules
No bias toward one design style. You keep your creative voice while applying the trends your way.
❌ Instagram doom-scrolling
Skip the comparison traps and imposter syndrome—the Spotlights fuel your creativity so you’re itching to design before you even get to the last page.
❌ Desperation from "Pinterest ideas"
We’ve all been there — but “maybe lemons?” doesn’t cut it when your goal is designing to sell.
What Spoonflower Sellers Are Saying About Trend Spotlights



Won’t everyone just design the same thing?
No, they won’t... and here's why 👇
These Spotlights aren’t rigid prompts or design briefs—they’re jumping-off points. You bring your own voice and style to the theme, which means even if the inspiration overlaps, the results won’t.
We also include a range of product types and imagery to reflect different aesthetics—so there’s space for your style, not pressure to fit a mold.
