Following on from our trend post yesterday, this gorgeous rattan chair caught our eye. This 1970s inspired chair from Graham & Green is perfect as a stand alone office chair or combined with others around a dining table.

The dark elm wood makes it a great addition to any scheme and room.

Continuing from 2019, here are beautiful materials that are still strongly evident in all aspects of homeware and furniture.

Bamboo, cane, wicker, rattan are all across interiors stores with modern silhouettes and varying styles to suit all rooms.

Not just suited for outdoors or conservatories these materials can blend into many styles and trends. Tie together with a room featuring tan and mustard colour tones, mango woods and florals or use as a light highlight in a room of dark jewel tones. Throw a faux sheepskin over a chair, and add a cushion for a look suited to the colder months and then swap for light weight bohemian fabric throw in the summer.

Last week we spotted this really cool and relatively easy DIY project from the boys at Mini Moderns.

Turn an old lampshade into something a little bit special, using raffia and a bit of patience. We really love the effect it gives and of course you can do this with any size shade.

To get this 1960’s vibe head to Mini Moderns Instagram, hit on their ‘lampshadeinspo’ story, and follow the tutorial.

home: trend [ arches ]

A key trend to keep an eye out for this year is arches. The rounded shape of an arch softens a space whether it’s from a mirror, a piece of furniture or a doorway.

Unless you happen to live in a Spanish villa or a Moroccan road you may be lacking arches in your architecture, so take inspiration from the many products available to create a calm inviting room.

Mirrors are a great place to start, and the bigger the better. You can also get the arch shape from a curved floor lamp, it’s more subtle but will still draw your eye.

Be bold and create arches on your walls with a printed wallpaper or perhaps using paint to draw out shapes. Whatever your style, you can bring some curve appeal to your home.
