When cork, copper and ceramic are used to describe one single item it’s definitely a winning combination.

We love this half and half cork and copper coloured ceramic vase from Quince Living. It would work well grouped with other pieces from the range and looks striking against a dark background like Farrow and Ball’s ‘Pitch Blue‘ or Dulux’s ‘Teal Tension‘. 

Copper & Cork Ceramic Vase £62

home: trends [ louche seventies ] 

The louche 1970s trend pushs the boundaries of taste, with style and design ideas that are lavish, ostentatious and brave. 

The hedonistic vibe oozes from the styling choices including crushed velvet, gold, rich colour tones and bold patterns. 

It is over the top and glamorous. Metals and glass are favoured for furniture with velvets, silks and heavy weight tapestry in upholstery. Be generous with accessories, multiple vases, candle sticks, cushions, throws and show-piece lighting to make a statement.

Breathe life and light into tired decor with this year’s on trend colour – yellow.

With so many hues to choose from, to use in decorating or home accessories, yellow is colour to bring a fresh invigorating look. It sits well against greys and compliments metallics including copper. 

Have a peak at Habitat’s collation of the best of yellow currently in store.

Spring is coming.

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.
