We have a real mix of trends this season including Japanese and Scandinavian minimalism, marbling, abstract and geometrical shapes and a resurgence of 30s and 70s art deco. In this article we look at the latest home trends for this Winter.
Layering Soft furnishings
Unsurprisingly, given the season, soft furnishings are focused on creating warmth. In fact, Next have gone so far as to create a “Cosy Shop”. Whether it’s your sofa or bed, layering of cushions of multiple fabric, colours, textures and sizes makes for a very stylish, warm nest. Add chunky knit throws and faux furs and your cocoon of warmth is complete. An example of the warm layering trend: Try adding this Claret faux fur cushion from Next, with this ruby/metallic Jacquard cushion from JD Williams, this plum velvet cushion from Debenhams add a wine chunky knit throw available from Amazon and finally this grey knitted pouffe from Aldi.
Adding a touch of retro
The great thing about this season’s trends is the stylists are not afraid to mix their eras. In fact, it is encouraged to mix styles, periods and fabrics. With such a diverse range, mix and match these new style ideas with your current décor to create your own unique space. Try adding pieces like this art deco mirror from Dunelm which will add a touch of the 70s, or perhaps you are feeling more decadent? In that case take a peek at this stunning drinks trolley from Atkin and Thyme.
Furniture and Accessories
The theme for this season seems to be opulence and glamour, bright furnishings teamed with gold retro accessories. Popular furniture colours are rich royal blues, ruby and rose, ochre and bronze, teamed with metallic accessories. We love this royal blue velvet armchair from made.com and our ochre top pick is this stunning ochre sofa from DFS. As for accessories this unusual, gold sunbeam sculpture from Wayfair caught our eye and on a practical storage note these gold wire baskets from George are just the ticket. These gold planters from M&S satisfy our 70s retro fascination whilst this gold tealight holder from Ikea completes the gold accessory look.
Wall art
Abstract and marbling is very much on trend. Luckily there is quite a lot to choose from both online and on the high street. This pink and gold marbled canvas from Very would complement your ruby furnishings. Whilst this Art Deco Midnight Canvas Print from Juniqe would look amazing with the royal blue arm chair. The abstract wood print titled Golden Morning from Poster Lounge is our top abstract pick.
With so many great choices this season you are sure to be able create a wonderful look for your home which is both eye catching and totally on trend.
