If you are accessorizing your rooms this Summer, be sure to feature something woven. Its all about the texture and detail.

Consider potted plants in woven baskets and bags, heavy woven cushion covers [ think macrame ] and jute rugs. Adding these pieces into a room will bring an artisan / handmade feel and soften a space.

If you want to make more of a statement choose a woven light fitting [ There are some stunning picks online – try grahamandgreen.co.uk & rockettstgeorge.co.uk ]. Woven chairs are big this season as well, like bold rattan furniture but focusing on a smaller weave.

Moroccan, Bohemian and Atzec pattern in design is still big in homeware, bringing a layed back and relaxed feeling to a room. We have found this flat – woven arrow print rug which we love, and will bring interest and appeal to a living room or bedroom floor.

Whether Moroccan, Scandinavian, minimal, country cottage, midcentury, industrial, boho or luxe style is your thing, there will be woven baskets to suit.

Easy, adaptable and practical for storage, however big or small there’s a use for woven baskets all over the home – for magazines in the lounge, to store blankets, great for indoor planters, housing nick nacks or bath toys in the bathroom, keeping all your wrapping paper handily stored, for fruit, for eggs, for bread, for outdoorwear kept handily at the front door, as a laundry bin, as display, to keep knitting stored… the uses are endless.

For great styling, mix and match heights in clusters and tie in colours to your decor or wood tones.

1. Wall hanging from La Redoute, in room set up (featured this week on NICE PRICE) £89

2. Esther Pallett : made to order £40 Not On The Highstreet 

3. White Elkeland £94 Trouva 

Whether you choose to try creating your own or shop from the huge range available online (especially from Etsy); the wall hanging trend is huge. 

When colours and styles can be chosen to suit your interior, a wall hanging can add texture and a craft feel to a home. 

The workmanship and skill level can be so high in some of these fine works of craft but even the simple woven designs that novices can create can be beautiful and a great addition to a room styling.

Another great trend for spring/summer is Exotic. A bright and vibrant trend full of print and texture. The main elements will come from the soft furnishings – floral and heavily patterned cushions, throws and rugs. Pile up cushions for depth on sofas and beds, with a statement rug as a focus in the middle of the room.
Accessories like bowls, vases and statement lighting help pull this look together. [ Check out West Elm ]
Wooden furniture, especially bamboo sit in this eastern influenced trend. Low units and tables work best in medium and dark woods.
Colours to consider are green, orange and purple with accents of gold and bronze, with texture coming from woven baskets and ceramics.
