Over the last couple of years a new trend has taken over when it comes to bringing plants into the home. Among the usual ceramic pots to put them in, baskets and boxes have grown in popularity as well as paper pots. We have spotted these gorgeous versions from Oohh at Room365. Part of their new collection these pots are 100% waterproof, made from recycled paper.
‘Danish in design and inspired by nature and the environment these fairtrade, handmade pots have a truly unique edge to them’
In between the love for white minimal and Scandinavian pops of colour, the strong trend for dark tones within the kitchen is a beautiful stylish style direction to head in.
Choosing between dark cabinets, counters, wall tiling, floor covering or all of the above creates a deep rich interior – a modern look for a home.

Bringing together a lot of dark tones (greys and blacks) is a bold move but it pays off. Although high lighting with colour or white is also a great look. Intersperse dark cabinets with white tiling or use a paler paint or flooring to soften the darkness.
For accessories, using other on-trend colours of the moment including metallics, blushes and pastels or light greys will really add to the look.

Across the high street big brands and smaller independent brands, seek out well chosen kitchenalia, ceramics, equipment and utensils to compliment the look.
If you are looking for a new way of framing posters and prints how about trying these attractive hanging frames. With a simple wooden edge at the top and bottom you will only need 4 strips of wood. This make is so adaptable to any size poster you have and you can paint or stain the wood to fit in with your space. You can also personlise your frames with the hanging element, use string, leather or chain, the choice is yours.

Without breaking the bank, Very have this Danish inspired, midcentury-style Isla Armchair with its curved silhouette, textured midcentury fabric and gently splayed out legs. Perfectly designed and comfortable.

We have a bit of an obsession with lighting, and why wouldn’t we when there is such a great choice available online and in stores. Habitat has just launched a load of new arrivals including this Quad light and we think it’s pretty cool. The striking architectural design will work best in a modern monochrome inspired living room, kitchen or office.
Authors and culinary geniuses, Alice Levine and Laura Jackson, two women synonymous with the famous supper clubs in London, have joined Habitat and released a gorgeous collection of homeware. A combination of organic and influenced by nature styles, with earthy ceramics, coloured glass, printed leaf fabrics and woods. Beautiful pieces with prices from £8.
‘As founders of the “hottest supper club of the year”, Laura Jackson and Alice Levine know a thing or two about throwing the dream dinner party. They also know that creating a space that is as impressive as the food is the recipe for the perfect evening. Recreate their supper club vibe in your own home with their top picks, including the must-have pieces from their debut home collection for Habitat.’
Beginning the 1960’s this new exhibition at the Design Museum, London explores the rise of product design and advertising in America and the infuence California has globaly.
‘While California’s mid-century modernism is well documented, this is the first exhibition to examine its current global reach. Picking up the storyin the 1960s, the exhibition charts the journey from the counterculture to Silicon Valley’s tech culture’
Last Summer saw the brights of tropical prints, fruit and a lot of flamingos, with patterns full of palm leaves and more fruit. This year is as vibrant but a bit more muted when it comes to colours and this time round its all about safari.
Zebras, lions, elephants and hippos replace pineapples and falmingos when it comes to ornaments, lighting and accessories. Printed wallpapers focus on leopards and big cats in bold yellow, oranges and burgandy.
Animal lamp from Rockettstgeorge.co.uk [ £129 ]
Rather than going overboard with an array of clashing patterns consider introducing small pops of colour and print throughout the room. Use animal art work mixed with other photos and prints for a nod to this trend [ Desenio do some great priced posters ]. Combine this with brown leather on chairs and brass tables & shelving.
Bring in a bunch of faux palms and grass reeds and you have the look. Go as full on as you like, but be careful it doesn’t feel themed. Keep it relaxed and eclectic.
