Hello trendsetters! Last year our homes became a place where we experimented a little more with personal style and focused in on what worked best for our updated way of living. As we emerge into a somewhat back-to-normal world, our homes will continue to be a place of refuge and personal expression. What’s next? Enhancing the styles you’ve discovered you love and investing in the spaces where you’re spending more time.
1. Vintage Vibes
Sustainability and supply chain issues are more top of mind than ever before. Upcycling and investing in quality items that last is definitely in, so explore local vintage shops or choose unique furniture and accessories with antique flair.

2. The Maximalist Aesthetic
Vibrant colours and grand millennial trends were strong last year. Now it’s about pushing it to the max. Think: walls with patterns that are paired with bold furniture and personality-packed accessories. Your ceiling? Detailing welcomed.

3. Elevated WFH
Working from home went from a short-term pandemic solution to an evolution in the corporate world. With many now permanently shifting to a home-based working model, it’s time to invest in making the at-home workspace special.

4. Embrace the Curve
Taking a throwback cue from fashion, this 80’s and 90’s comeback trend is continuing to gain popularity. Explore curved lines on furniture and mirrors, orbring in a pattern that features some comforting curves or interesting arches.

5. Bar Service
Cocktails, mocktails, mixers and more – many of us have become aspiring mixologists and we’re ready for a proper service setting. Create a night-out retreat with a beautiful built-in to add to your living room or classic bar cart.
