WHAT I LOVE most about this season’s decor trends is that it’s all about taking what you love to the max. If you love pink then make sure you’re thoroughly in the pink. It’s also all about a mix of old and new and of refurbishing the old to bring it back to life. It’s about family heirlooms getting centre stage, about surrounding yourself with more of what makes you happy. It’s also about taking an old love letter and framing it, instead of

hiding it away, so you have a spark of joy when you walk past it. I love the idea of a Victorian bath with modern mixers, or an old teapot with modern cutlery. It’s mix and match and being true to your essence. It’s looking around at what you have and seeing the beauty in what’s already there, selling what no longer makes you happy – and ensuring whatever you’re left with is a comfort to you. With rising costs and problems in supply chains, homes will
continue to be our nests and we will learn to turn the old into the new. In this edition of Home Improver we highlight some of the latest trends – yet the biggest trend is in the uniqueness of a home filled with what YOU love and what makes you happy. Here’s to more of that... Enjoy!
