For Autumn/Winter 2021, Harvey Norman have taken a simple approach: ‘CLARITY’. After all, it’s been a fuzzy forgettable last year and they want to offer the customer easy options in understanding what is both on trend and worth investing in in the future. Trying to make your home work your way is going to be an ongoing project but if one thing is clear this year will end with us being TOGETHER again. Celebrating and showcasing your beautiful homes is where it’s at for now. Two major growing trends for Harvey Norman are ‘Grandmillennial’ and ‘Cottagecore’

Grandmillennial

Simply a style of mixing what appears to be retro elements with Modern day pieces. It’s brave and might have been referred to as Maximalist in previous seasons but moving forward is more thoughtful. Comfort is central; the ‘chesterfield’ like sofa is deep seated, high armed and more importantly available now. It feels and looks vintage the colours are decadent, rich and mixed with velvet digital jungle like prints. It’s about giving a fresh take on things we’ve known all our lives ; items that may have been seen as fauxpas are now bang on trend but it’s all about mixing and being brave with colour.

Cottagecore This is built on all of our true commitment to changing how we live today for the better. Taking more responsibility about how we treat the earth we live on. After the events of 2020 we have been left feeling nostalgic and the need for comfort is strongly expressed in interior trends. We can see the influence of nature taking a precedence. Taking time remains important and focus even more so as we navigate our way to a new way of living post pandemic. The palettes are surprisingly fresh and floral for Autumn/ Winter but we also see a warming up and a move away from grey to warmer tones. We see newness in bedroom linen designs; cotton being more important to us than blends and sustainability key. Everything we need for a bright new future.
