home: trends [ Brazilian modern ]
Bring together all the pattern, colour and vibrancy of a Brazilian carnival in your home. With major sporting events heading to Brazil this year, homeware is taken inspiration from the strong ‘more is more’ attitude of the colourful community.
Brazilian modern, mixes prints and patterns with well thought out clashing flair. Stimulate the senses combining patterns of flora, fauna, tribal, vintage and stripes, sitting patterns of different scale together, and miss matching woods and textures.
Seek guidance from the colour wheel to ensure colours, although contrasting with each other, still are harmonious and complimentary.
Missoni is a key brand to seek out for inspiration but high street brands including BHS and Anthroplogie, and one of our favourites Mia Fleur all have great pieces to suit this trend.

home: made [ tie dye ]
Memories of the 80’s and 90’s tie dye may be a thing of the past, but now tie dye is back in a new modern way. Gone is the rainbow of colours and in is a more monochrome simple colour pallette.
It’s very easy to get the look yourself on pillow cases, tea towels and napkins, with a few essentials. And it’s fun!
Head to A Beautiful Mess and Honestlywtf to see tutorials on following Shibori tie dye [ a simple technique ]
