The new frontier of home interiors: sleeker, smarter, greener, and all geared at improving your quality of life.

Celestial walls

If the state of the world today has you wondering what it all means, then this trend for celestial wallpaper may ease your existential dread. Starry skies, suns, moons and zodiac motifs all feature against that ever-so-calming deep-blue backdrop associated with the universe and all its infinite secrets.

Living nature

An abundance of plant life, sustainable wood, plenty of natural light and materials, which remind us of the great outdoors (wool, stone and granite), are all becoming effective ways in which interior designers look to bring the outside in. With many of us working from home and the insulative nature of the digital world, this is a great way to deepen your connection with Mother Earth while still staying connected.

Wellbeing wonders

Given the amount of time we spend in our homes, it seems sensible that our surroundings ought to be designed to boost our health and happiness. Furniture that combines style and ergonomic comfort is essential – so neither that hard chaise longue or enormous squishy settee, but something in-between: a wooden-framed settee with deep, soft cushions in a natural and breathable fabric – with soft lighting, curvaceous lines and calming colours that soothe the senses and soul.

Flex your tech

Our living spaces are becoming smaller, but we are using them for more things. This means that certain areas must be used as workspaces without disrupting the integrity of the room’s original use.

With that in mind, designers are becoming more flexible, finding savvy ways to make our homes adaptable without feeling as if you’re living in the office. Coffee tables or consoles that can fold out to become a desk, discreet plug and USB sockets and lighting which can be controlled from your phone in order to create the desired mood (work, relax, play), are just a few ways you can have both your worlds existing comfortably side-by-side.

Serpent time

In the Chinese Zodiac it is the year of the snake, but be not afraid, for wisdom, elegance and transformation are all represented by its seductive, slithering form. Mirrors gilded with silver serpents will have you channelling Medusa and an abundance of reptilian prints in wallpaper and art, remind us of more glamorous times when snakeskin handbags and cocktail hour reigned supreme.
