Whether you love colourful and characterful interiors, or have a more refined, pared-back style, here's how you can bring SS24 trends into your home.
QUIET LUXURY by Barker and Stonehouse
Quiet Luxury is proving to be enduringly popular. Championing understated elegance, beautiful furniture with curved silhouettes takes centre stage in our home. Combining natural materials with pops of rust and navy creates a sophisticated colour palette that is timeless. Combining old with new allows your personality to shine through whilst creating a warm and welcoming home for all to enjoy.
“Seek solace in a tapestry of texture and warmth. Soft, sumptuous bouclé invites touch, while a palette of terracotta shades infuses the space with vibrant sunset hues. Combine furniture crafted from nature’s finest, such as wood, rattan, and stone, to blend sizes and shapes that echo organic forms.”
Sculptural elements, natural materials and curves are key to achieving a sophisticated and understated look. By adding a diverse range of wall art sizes, blending smaller accessories with medium and larger focal points creates visual interest while avoiding an overwhelming aesthetic.
“Combine floor lamps that can act as a piece of art with an occasional chair, to create a reading corner that not only looks aesthetically appealing but will help you to unwind.”
STRIPES by French Bedroom
As seen throughout Maison et Objet, stripes have emerged as the pattern of the year. French Bedroom has had its finger on design the pulse with its new launch of Granville.
Taking its name from the seaside town in northern France, and the hometown of Christian Dior, the Granville collection consists of a bed, bench and matching accessories. This range offers a combination of bold linear embroidery in a monochrome palette, adding dramatic elegance to the bedroom.
Made in the UK and hand-upholstered in a wide embroidered stripe with a rich black bullion trim, the generously deep headboard of the GRANVILLE bed creates a luxurious and elevated aesthetic, adding the same gravitas to a bedroom that shoulder pads do for the silhouette.
Georgia Metcalfe, Founder & Creative Director at French Bedroom, said:“In the same way that Dior is renowned for using only the highest quality and most luxurious materials, The Granville Bed is upholstered in a wide black, sand and white embroidered stripe in 100% pure densely woven cotton.”
MINIMALUXE by French Bedroom
A portmanteau of luxury and minimalism, minimaluxe interiors are chic and stylish. Combining statement silhouettes with organic textural finishes creates a pared-back look that never gets old.
Metcalfe said: “In recent years, opulent headboards have enjoyed a revival in the world of interior design, acting as a focal point and the main event for a whole bedroom scheme. A remarkably simple way to make a statement, they can transform a room or enliven even the simplest of spaces, in much the same way as a piece of art might do. The key to this look is in the combination of statement and simplicity, by maintaining a limited and considered colour palette that makes use of complementary colours. Think about the materials you choose too: wooden furnishings are perfect as they wear beautifully and the patina that comes with age only enhances the comforting sense of home that is at the core of the minimaluxe trend.”
RETRO from Barker and Stonehouse
Retro is back, both within fashion and interiors. From vintage pieces to classic wooden furniture, we are seeing a resurgence in classic design fused with a more contemporary style.
Combining mid-century silhouettes with natural materials and an on-trend colour palette puts a modern spin on retro design. The key to this look lies in tactile texture and bold silhouettes. Buttery soft leather sofas are styled alongside strikingly sculptural wooden furniture. A pared-back colour palette of chocolate, terracotta and sage adds warmth without overwhelming the space.
A subtle hint of greenery or a potted willow branch invites the outdoors in and is the perfect finishing touch to this sophisticated look.
A monochrome rug with a subtle hint of pattern adds softness and warmth underfoot, beautifully grounding this tonal scheme.
PASTELS from Barker and Stonehouse
A celebration of simplicity and relaxation, soft pastel shades and natural textures are the perfect combination for evoking a sense of warmth and connection to nature. It is all about warm woods, coastal colours and soft fabrics, a beautiful blend of materials and colour that reflect the light, open and refreshing feel of the summer season.
From sage greens to gentle yellows and soft peaches, think breezy light-filled spaces that capture the essence of a seaside retreat.
The less is more approach is key with this trend, meaning it is time to foster a relaxed and refreshing environment, capturing a sense of serene comfort within one’s home.
ENGLISH ECCENTRICS by The Floor Room
Thanks to recent films such as Saltburn and the highly anticipated new season of Bridgerton, there has been a rise in the popularity of maximalist interiors with a traditional flare.
An explosion of bold colours, prints and textures paired with antique furniture and architectural detailing, creates a lived-in look that highlights one’s personal style.
Contrast is key to achieving this look. Pair a classic parquet floor with art-deco furniture and an intricate botanical wallpaper for a sophisticated yet whimsical look. Alternatively, style a bold primary coloured palette with Victorian-inspired tile detailing for a modern and mischievous twist on a classic design.
ORGANIC MODERN by The Floor Room
Contemporary minimalism with natural elements has continued to be a key interiors trends for many years and it looks like it is here to stay.
Colour is dialled down and pared-back allowing natural materials and tactile textures to come to the fore, whilst sculptural silhouettes are contrasted with clean lines for added interest.
Choose timeless walnut or oak wooden flooring to effortlessly add a grounding and earthy feel to the space. Alternatively, wall-to-wall carpet in shades inspired by the natural world, like pistachio or sand, introduces a gentle hint of colour as well as warmth and tactility underfoot. This canvas will underpin the entire room, setting the stage for Organic Modern.
Carly Greening, Creative Product Manager, at The Floor Room, said: “Give your interiors a breath of fresh air by mixing minimalism, organic shapes and mid-century decor to create a neutral modern scheme of comfort for relaxed living. Suitable for all rooms and home types alike, the Organic Modern trend continues to rise in popularity, thanks to its neutral colour palette and love of natural materials. Bringing these into the home helps to create a polished yet casual look, which adds depth and character to a space and is a key part of bringing this organic modern style into the home. From the walls to floors, furniture to accessories, use a mix of materials including wood, wool or cork as your base, and begin to layer the scheme with textured materials. Marble and fluted wooden tables should not go amiss and keep the colour palette cohesive, adding small pops of colour through accessories to bring the scheme together.”
YELLOW – Furniture Village
Inspired by the ‘La Dolce Vita’ of the Amalfi coast, The Lemon Grove is an uplifting take on an English classic country look, with a modern Italian twist.
The zesty tones of ochre and mustard, paired with the refreshing touch of whitewashed furniture, joyful stripes and evergreen plants bring the lemon groves of the Amalfi Coast a little closer to home.
With its joyful patterns that add a touch of whimsical nonchalance to the classic modern country look, the bold stripes bring a nostalgic nod to summers spent by the sea and the splashes of green bring the English countryside indoors for a revitalising and inviting look.
Shelley Cochrane, Accessories Buyer at Furniture Village, says: “Yellow is big in 2024, and pairing this beautiful and rich sunshine shade with refreshing touches of whitewashed English-country-inspired furniture is the perfect way to embrace this trend into your home for Spring. Yellow works beautifully on larger pieces of furniture to create a focal point. By opting for warmer tones like ochre or mustard, you can ensure that with a few simple tweaks, they will translate beautifully in autumn too. For Spring and Summer, combine these warm yellow tones with uplifting pops of green through flowers and foliage and a scattering of mismatched patterned cushions will enhance the laid-back, playful feel of the look and make the sunny shores of Italy feel that little bit closer to home without compromising on quintessential English-country charm.”
Monochrome – Furniture Village
A monochrome colour palette is a perennial favourite and the enduring elegance of an effortless scheme is not only timeless but can also create a statement. À La Mode takes laid-back luxury to new dimensions with its statement silhouettes and delicate details.
Key to this trend are the walls and floors, where white walls are replaced by light clay wash and floors are covered with oversized rugs, making for an opulent environment. Chic black accents and dark wood finishes, found in the Merlin sideboard and Kos dining set bring warmth and a touch of Parisian glamour to our homes.
In a minimalist scheme, pattern and texture needn’t go amiss. Incorporating subtle tactility through linens, velvets and natural stone is key to curating a look that feels modern, fresh and offers much more than first meets the eye. Entwine simple yet bold stripes in a colourway that matches key accessories to bring the scheme together.
Sunset Hues – Furniture Village
Taking its name from the world’s largest desert, Saharah Sunsets embodies the colour palette of the wide and varied that inspired it. The rich russet tones of the desert sunset combined with fresh pops of blush pink and nourishing shades of forest green, creates a warm and welcoming scheme. These sunset hues are rich yet subtle as they gently introduce pops of colour into your home. Take inspiration from this latest look and infuse your home with the energising warmth of nature’s colour palette.
For those who lean towards a more understated colour palette, choosing shades with black and grey undertones, allows you to layer with more vivid colours such as burnt orange and blush pink without making a scheme feel too bold or overwhelming. Organic materials are the perfect pairing for these pared-back shades: think frayed linens draped over a bed, a patchwork of rugs across the floor and plenty of plants to invite the grounding influence of the outside into your home.
Through The Kaleidoscope – Furniture Village
Delve into the nostalgia of evocative kaleidoscopic visions by imbuing your home with rich jewel tones and retro-inspired geometric forms. Combining an affinity for bold 1970s and 80s colour and pattern with familiar and timeless silhouettes, Through The Kaleidoscope encourages you to view your home through a new lens: a canvas for colour and a place to be playful.
Eclectic interiors are the style de jour as our homes take an ever-increasing role in our lives, from work to play and everything in between. Embrace the wonder of kaleidoscopic visions and allow colour, form and pattern to fuse and flow effortlessly throughout your home. With this look, more is most definitely more and anything goes!
Vivid jewel tones instantly fill your room with an uplifting spirit and energy. Bring in pops of trending, warm mustard for a little 70s flare, which combined with complementary hues of blue make for a bold yet delightful contrast. If you’re choosing striking patterns and colours, consider furnishing your home with traditional style furniture that can act as an anchor for the more abstract elements of your scheme. Our Hewitt range will bring a classic country charm while a sleek Scandi-inspired bed frame brings quiet sophistication to this characterful look.
