Introduction
“Looking ahead to 2023, Habitat has focused on providing versatile additions for the home that can be easily incorporated to existing collections and interiors.
“Our design and product development teams have prioritised enduring, long-lasting products that will live through evolving interiors trends and the needs of the modern home, particularly for renters.
“With an emphasis on updating rather than transforming, it’s never been easier for customers to make small refreshes to create comfortable and personal spaces in the home.
“The spring / summer collections introduce three new conversational styles that champion adaptable and transitional designs, created to fit within existing schemes and produce inspirational interiors.”
Christine Kasoulis Home & Furniture Director, HabitatGlobal Artisan
This collection combines bohemian escapism with forest and fauna inspired patterns, together with bold geometry and silhouettes. The collection utilises the natural tactility of the wooden grain, enriched by the accessories with layers of mustard, terracotta and red for a truly eclectic and vibrant style.

Textiles
EmeraldThe Emerald collection is designed to radiate positivity with maximalist, pattern-drenched accessories and contemporary furniture that celebrates colour. Bold prints are inspired by the simplistic, naive shapes of Matisse, while larger pieces such as sofas and sideboards celebrate simple Scandi-style forms that let the colours sing.
Trending: Bubble Shapes
“Bubble Decor has been dominating social media, with over 33.9k #bubblemug tags on TikTok. The trend is born from a nostalgic look back to the 80’s and bulbous inflated like forms. These shapes evoke peacefulness and relaxation with round, comforting bubble forms. This whimsical decor brings a touch of fun and playfulness into the home.”
Anna Cross Habitat Head of Buying – HomePalette Power Couple:
Emerald and Lilac
“Inspired from this year’s fashion catwalk palettes, this collection is bursting with colour and positivity. Taking drawings from brutalist architecture, the print and pattern has been created to bring a bold yet fun collection of products for the home. Emerald and lilac sit opposite each other on the colour wheel, bringing the duo together creates a high-impact look for the dopamine-seeking.”
Andrew Tanner Habitat Head of DesignResetThis look is filled with modern, soothing shades designed to help reset and revive the feeling of wellbeing in the home. Equally key are the restful textures of boucle, rattan and velvet that juxtapose with a mix of light and dark woods for added depth.
Trending: Pebble Shapes
“Sculptural shapes and organic forms are a cosy, escapist addition to our interiors, and the popularity of voluptuous, cocooning furniture continues. Our Xylo coffee and nesting tables have been stripped back to the essentials, defined by a pared-back design and smooth pebbleshaped curves which bring a relaxed, nostalgic feel to interiors. We’ve also reintroduced our classic Rattan Chaise from the Habitat archives for the new season, whose plump curvilinear silhouette prioritises comfort to promote serenity and wellbeing in the home.”
Andrew Tanner Habitat Head of DesignDesign Details: Marshmallow Mugs
“These appealing marshmallow-shaped mugs take inspiration from the popular chunky forms that have dominated Instagram feeds in the past year. Featuring a unique oversized handle, each hand-made mug has been designed to fill the hand in a pleasingly comfortable and reassuring way. Completed with a smooth matte glaze and speckled finish, the mugs are available in fashionable lime and lilac shades.”
Andrew Tanner Habitat Head of DesignOutdoor
We continue to use our outdoor spaces more than ever before, using them as an extension to our interiors and an extra room to style. Habitat’s flexible outdoor offering is well suited for a variety of outdoor spaces, from gardens and patios, to balconies and terraces. A number of pieces have been designed by the team to be used in both indoor and outdoor spaces for maximum versatility.
Design Details: Teka Chair
“The Teka Chair is a contemporary statement piece with a sleekly designed low-slung seat and black metal frame. Equally suitable for indoor use, a pair of these chairs create a conversational focal point of a monochrome, minimalist space.”
Dave Hutcheson Habitat Senior DesignerTrending: Outdoor Entertaining

In response, we have built our outdoor furniture offering to include a range of stylish solutions that span flexible and compact options for outdoor spaces of any size available in a range of styles, materials and colour finishes for all.”
