home: found this [ monsoon home ]

Finding Monsoon Home is a bit of a perfect dream. The latest collection is a blend of bohemian, ethnic, sumptuous fabrics and finishes to create and style a very natural, organic interior.

Soft cottons, weaves, tassels and sequins, pale colours mixed with jewel tones and with Christmas arriving they have a wonderful collection of hanging decorations too.

home: trend [ Luxe Living ]

We have seen a lot of this style before, but the fact is, brands still love it, and we still love it. Leading the way is velvet, we are seeing it everywhere, on furniture, lighting and soft furnishings.

Velvet is the simplist way to get a luxurious feel in your home, whether it’s a statement chair or a few cushions on a sofa. Get extra glam with accessories like gold framed mirrors and smoked glass table tops.

Key colours for this trend are ochre and pink, with accents of brass and gold. This is what we are seeing a lot of but other colours appearing for Autumn are deep blue and burgandy.

With a heavy art deco influence this trend explores interesting shapes and patterns. For example round table tops with square frames, painted detail on cabinets and angular mirrors with interesting shapes. Luxe Living is about pushing the look that little bit further than before, be brave with it and own it.
