Our Seasonal Previews provide an insight into the trends you can expect to see emerge in stores over the coming months. Our Home & Interior Trends for Autumn Winter 2017/18 were first forecast and published over two years ago.
Here we share a preview of 2 of 4 trends forecast for the season, Forest Frost and Artist Studio.
This story is all about creating a soothing stillness and calming atmosphere in the home. An enchanted forest takes us to a distant place where we induldge in a sense of escapism. Our homes become entwined with nature, filled with comforting tactility.
This trend combines relaxed fabrics with rustic serveware and weathered ceramics for a tranquil, nature inspired look in the home. Loosely dripped and watercolour painted patterns adorn textiles, ceramics and paper products. Dense trees and rural landscapes inspire wall art, prints and patterns providing a mysterious setting for fairytale inspired adventures.
This trend takes inspiration from the creative spirit of the artist studio. Investing in art and creating original designs invigorates the home, revealing a fresh new canvas. A new sense of risk taking and confidence lets us open up our homes like a public art gallery.
Hand painted wall art is dramatic and energetic, whilst figurative hand and face motifs inject a playful element to this story. Graphic product shapes and abstract prints reflect a fun upbeat mood in the home. A bold primary palette carefully introduces strong colours to mirror a new sense of bravery and certitude that underpins this trend.
