The biggest home OF SS23

FOR this season’s home trends, we’ve hand-picked moments and places that we instinctively associate with summer, whether that be at home or abroad. From the beautiful Golden Hour, which tries to capture those magical minutes before the sun drops beneath the horizon, to The Rose Garden which references those heady summer days when the nation’s gardens are at their very best. Heaven.

You’ll also find a tribute to the beautiful Balearic Islands in Island Retreat, and an ode to the bustling joy of the French Riviera in Riviera Rhythm.

Our homes should reflect the things that bring us joy – whether that’s a particular colour scheme, a holiday memory, or simply a space in which to gather the family.

Trend:

The Rose Garden

INSPIRED by one of our favourite places to spend a summer’s day, this trend embraces bold colours and playful patterns to create spaces that are bursting with just as much life as their namesake.

Using a palette of rosy pinks and English-garden-inspired greens, this latest look puts a modern twist on classic country style, combining traditional patterns, such as chintz and block print, with contemporary furniture and on-trend accents that bring it right up-todate.

Pale oak designs, with simple silhouettes and clean lines, bring a serene simplicity to each scheme. On the other hand, opting for a bold centrepiece such as a sofa, makes the perfect spot to get creative with pattern – in this instance, more is definitely more.

Frills, pleats, checks, and scallops bring a touch of frivolous fun, and a vase of seasonal garden flowers will always complete the look.

Trend:

Riviera Rhythm

THERE’S something wonderfully powerful about the simplicity of a primary palette. And when combined with a bold, seaside-inspired theme, it really comes to life.

Taking its cue from the French Riviera and it’s mix of art, culture, and colour, this trend is about channelling some of that brimming energy into your interior spaces.

Bold stripes in blue and yellow are combined with natural wood finishes and textured linens to create an inviting look that has a playful rhythm running throughout. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different types of stripes across walls and soft furnishings, and be sure to use a variety of tonal shades to create variety and depth.

Our top tip? Why not add a splash of green too? It will add a fresh dimension and can be introduced through accessories or foliage.

Trend:

Island Retreat

BALANCING laid-back vibes with luxury design, this island-inspired trend is all about creating cool, calm spaces that we can escape to.

A neutral blend of white, taupe, and ecru form the foundation of this minimal scheme, while dashes of black found on window and furniture frames, help to add definition and contrast.

Adding touches of butter-soft leathers and marble-effect ceramic finishes alongside can help instantly elevate the space too.

Boucle-textured cushions (one of the hottest accessories of the last year) and tactile linens provide further softness, while natural accents such as weathered woods, palm leaves and crystals bring a rustic touch that’s restful and rejuvenating.
