home: trend [ bohemian ]

The boho trend in interiors is broad ; with colour and styles – but the layering and the type of fabrics or patterns is always key. Look for deep colour palette in weaves and wall hangings, hand crafted woods, worn leather, kilim and ikat patterns, lace, crochet and paisley.

It should be an effortless look that evolves and can be built on, with it benefiting from nik naks, flea market finds, homeware from world travel, heirlooms and collectables.

For online highstreet shopping try Urban Outfitters and La Redoute for a huge range of soft furnishings, cushions, throws, hangings, dishes and more that really fit this trend.

home: made [ printed doormat ]

First impressions are important and so is the entrance to your home. Doormats are usually an essential item which until recent years were pretty boring. Now stores are doing fun slogan and more colourful versions. But instead of having something others may have, why don’t you design your own. Still as popular as ever is typography, using words like ‘hello’, ‘welcome’, ‘hey ya’ whatever you want. Keep it monochrome or stencil your mat with colour.

With a basic doormat [ try ikea.com or homebase.com ], cardboard stencil and waterproof paint or permanent marker you are ready to go. This simple idea takes no time at all, and we have some tutorials to help.

home: trend [ jewel tones ]

For those who want the antithesis of monochrome interiors and prefer a richer more opulent look then using jewel tones for interiors can give a warm, rich, homely and welcoming feel to a home.

A variety of jewel tones, including turquoise, teal, jade, ruby and burgundy can compliment each other and work well in a room together – but also varying shades of the same colour can be very effective and impactful.

Currently other on-trend colours including navy and copper sit very well with this colour palette and act well to set off the rich tones.

We love going bold with this trend and including floors, woodwork, furniture as well as soft furnishings all in the colour palette. Using high street brand Habitat paint is perfect as it works on both walls and wood to ensure matching colours throughout. And for fabrics opt for velvet, cord and satin to compliment the trend.

home: trend [ gunmetal silver ]

Layering tones of grey builds a smart, modern and calming interior look. Add gunmetal into the equation and it gives a luxe look, the shine brings richness with an industrial edge.

Use amongst other greys or to stand out, use in accessories in a monochrome colour palette. Add the tone in with vases, candle holders and other small homewares or it’s perfect to use in lighting, radiators and door furniture.

Gunmetal, like other metallics would also sit against rich tones including navy, burgundy and mustard. It looks expensive and strong, and is great for table legs, shelving and other furniture.
