Palm Springs

With hot hues, vibrant pattern and happy mood, this year’s upbeat look is all about modern-retro Palm Springs-style. Blend colours, clash colours, but above all – embrace colour.

Why I love…Palm Springs

‘Colour is not only a fantastic way to express your personality at home but I think it has the power to alter your mood – from calming and comforting verdigris to energising, upbeat citrus yellow. You needn’t go crazy, though, just one shot of bright colour in an otherwise pared-back room results in an eye-catching statement. We make colour choices all the time during our everyday lives, from the clothes we wear to packaging that catches our eye when shopping for groceries, so just choose what comes naturally and you can’t go wrong‘

New Exotic

The Orient is a powerful force in design right now. Patterns are being updated in vibrant shades, stylized or magnified. Furniture is chic and pared-back – a minimal partner for jewel-coloured fabrics.

Why I love…New Exotic

‘For me what make this trend so special is colour – vivid tones of amethyst, anis green, turquoise, lime green, orange and pink. Colours are life and bring happiness. It’s also about being really audacious, and mixing lots of exotic prints and shades in one room is what the new Manuel Canovas collection is all about’

Stitch In Time

Modern abstracts or intricate florals, embroidery is adding a new dimension. Texture is a smart, elegant way of creating interest – so build it up.

Why I love…Stitch in Time

‘Embroidery and stitching on fabric is about adding personality to a surface. It brings fabric to life in a way that print cannot. It gives it story and depth’

In Fashion

Interiors and fashion collide in a new decor look that’s couture inspired and very glamorous. Timeless tweeds are updated in bold colours, florals are softened for an effortless look, while lighting is grand and jewel-like.

Why I love…In Fashion

‘Fashion icons such as Chanel, Vreeland and Pucci are a constant source of inspiration for interiors. Be it the distinctive boucle weave, seductive animal print or playful, colourful swirl, these tactile, timeless classics look as good at a window or on furniture as they do in a wardrobe’

Why I love…Earn Your Stripes

“It’s the variety of creative colour combinations that can be incorporated into stripes that makes them so attractive. Stripes give structure to an interior space and therefore provide a foundation from which to build on.”

Hide and Seek – get the tribe vibe with stylish skins and ethnic patterns

Why I love… Hide and Seek

“The new faux skin fabrics take me back to my childhood in Africa where real skins were often seen as floor or furniture coverings. The sense of Africa, nature and the wild is captured by this trend and by executing the designs in vibrant, iridescent silks. The effect is exciting and exotic. The unpredictable use of colour, key to this look, adds a touch of humour as well as glamour to any design scheme.”

Kathryn Thompson, managing director, The Silk Gallery, Ground Floor, Centre Dome, thesilkgallery.com
