LOOKS YOU'LL LOVE

You’ve no doubt seen this colour on the catwalks this year, most likely paired with beautiful velvet. Whether you’re looking at rust, burgundy, marsala, carmine or cherry, it’s a rich, warm hue that will add a pop of cosy colour to any space.

We’d pair it with black and white, or walnut and brass and gold finishes. Or, for a real burst of colour, mix it with petrol blue (our next trend). It’s brilliant for homes in a velvet finish – just like fashion. Think cushions, or a sofa, or BoConcept’s multifunctional Wire, which functions as a stool or a side table. 

This might be one of our favourite colours of all time – it’s versatile and timeless, yet it has an edge to it. It’s considered a greyish-blue, with a touch of green to it. We love it with gold, we love it with walnut or oak, and we love it in velvet. 

This look is similar to soft and sharp, but it’s about materials rather than forms. Juxtaposing opposites can add dimension to your space, and particularly so when you’re mixing materials. Raw, matte wood and soft felt are this season’s hot picks, creating a cosy, Scandinavian vibe that takes things back to basics. Bring in a little marble or stone if you want to add another layer to this look.

Add visual interest with this easy look. Think about combining the clean, strong lines of a bookshelf with curving silhouettes: decorate your shelves with round plates and fluid vases; or pair a square coffee table with a round rug. Here are our picks for how to make this work in your space.
