​TECHNOLOGICAL STATEMENT.
Picture
The digital age has moved on beyond what we may have thought possible, making pattern design a paradise and playground for designers to create new looks. Trends see us using printing techniques more, allowing greater colour capability with purposefully pixelated edges. From this we can get photographic prints onto all sorts of substrates whilst linear overlays add movement with multidirectional pattern giving a modern alternative to woven material.

IN CHECK.
Picture
Vibrant overlays of colour bring all varieties of checks to life. Mix these with traditional colour combinations to modernise staple tartans and use chunky yarn to emphasise stripes. If you don’t dare to go bold keep things tonal or monochrome to give a subtle nod to this key trend.

​We know now until Christmas is a super busy time for our Interior Designers. So we've been researching our top four style trends that are happening right now.  We have also included links to the rugs we currently have in stock - so no lead time, these can be delivered in just 48 hours! What's not to love!

WILD

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
This trend allows nature to take back the landscape to it’s untouched and untamed beauty. Purposefully left to regenerate wildlife and natural habitats has been of great importance to balance out our busy urban city lifestyle and sustain a greener future for generations to come. Boundaries are blurred where indoors and outdoors come together for a sense of peace and mindfulness. Indoor plants have soared within
home interior trends and have been proven to create a happier living environment. #planteriordesign. The idea of city forests have taken focus in our ever growing awareness of our surroundings. Colours are earthy but soft with clay, terracotta and rust adding a contrast of warmth against brighter tones of forest green, moss and verdigris. Textures are rustic and make use of natural elements of stone, wood and vegetation. Crackled surfaces of worn and weathered elements allow for abstract colour movement and oxidised effects.
This fairy tale forest floral creates a sense of midnight mystery, highlighting detail with moonlight tones of stone.

STORY

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Tracing routes back to a cultural heritage of nostalgic times, designs take a worldly influence whilst still remembering individual personality. Designs have an aged look with textures of weathered wood and stone layered up with patterns of decorative blooms and botanical elements. Faded prints of flora and fauna embrace a vintage look often drawn with linear qualities to give more of a simplistic graphical look. Colours include a bright and cheery ochre, mahogany, marine blue, cardamon, greige, sail white, brass and haint blue.
Take a look at our Ornament rug evoking feelings of our cultural heritage and nostalgic past, this looks absolutely fabulous in period homes.

SOLACE

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Minimal design takes on organic abstract style within this Solace trend. Layers of natural elements creating landscaped pattern. A considered palette of almost neutral tones; blue now being a close third behind cream ones and grey keep a balance of tone, not being too bold or too brash in contrast. Harmonising is key with colours bleeding into one another for subtle change. A search for silence is described with Antarctic reference of white space and soft texture. Grey tones of haze and storm sit alongside purple infused twilight blue and amethyst grey with only maroon making any difference of colour impact.
Our Conglo rug completely reflects the Solace trend. The minimalistic palette of neutral tones of grey and a flash of dusty pink compliment the carved detail of embedded pebble pattern and washed texture.​​
​

VIBE

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Colour and light is the centre focus for this trend where experimental clashes of pattern create high contrast and a curiosity to discover more. Designs make use of simple polka dots, bright accents and black outlines creating a very pop art style.

Our latest "Construct Collection" is completely on the Vibe trend.  These stunning and dramatic, modern designs create a brilliant talking piece and really add the wow factor to any hall way or contemporary styled home. We designed these and had them handmade in readiness for the Decorex Show where they proved to be very popular, want one for Christmas? You'll need to act fast! Our Vibe collection is available in handtufted in 2 sizes 120cm x 180cm (£950) and 160cm x 230cm (£1620).

Spring into Summer with our top Trends for 2018.

Finally we have seen the sun for the first time this year and colour has burst into action and opened our eyes to key trends. Pantone has demonstrated key pops of colour reflecting recent exhibition and trend direction from Heimtex and London Design Week amongst various other shows so far in 2018. Embracing bright colour will be the standout trend for Spring 2018 and the Pantone palette features in our blog Top Tips for a Luxurious Living Room.

London Design Week Highlights.
The trends brought to us by the showrooms of Chelsea Harbour this spring, bring us sophisticated and intricate design with a wealth of confidence in bright colour and bold print. The depth and attention to detail stands up to further scrutiny rewarding your eyes upon their second look. Neutrals are brought to us in natural, unbleached materials such as sea grass, wool, slubbed silks and cottons with a celebratory splash of champagne to add some class. Metallic tones of silver and stone greys pair well with mineral and elemental inspired palettes of green malakite and peridot, showing the first shoots of spring greens. Other dominant accents brought us shades of yellow including butter milk, mustard and ochre. Indigo, teal and peacock blues will be big and pair up well with a warmth brought by coral through to rouge and burnt orange. With sunshine hopes for spring and summer come playful but subtle ice cream tones of raspberries, mint, vanilla and pistachio as shown below in our colour stories

London Craft Week returns to the capital for its fourth edition and tickets for the special event are available here http://dcch.co.uk/London-Craft-Week-2018. 'Reflecting a rising global appreciation of exceptional craftsmanship, it attracts a discerning audience united in their admiration of beauty, substance and authenticity'... if the hand crafted look is for you check out how our rugs are made https://www.thewovenedge.com/rug-making-process.html.
​
Watercolour and painterly feels are still apparent, easy on the eye and fresh with texture flowing on all levels. Marbled effects, cloudy treatments, washed out bleeds and ikat influences extend the trend surrounding indigo dyed products and handmade techniques. These handmade elements mixed with recycled goods really highlight current world issues and just shows how much influence on interior trends this can create.
An industrial influence of worked metal surfaces such as iron, copper, brass, and silver take on etched inlays, beaten top work creating an imperfect but polished finish adding a sense of richness with crafted quality. Faceted jewel inspired cut effects are a strong influence on pattern, bringing geometric plays on light to another level. Dynamic tonal use of different materials makes for an edgy strength of structure and a range of elegant product.

Tribal elements of primitive mark making pattern give a sense of freedom and energy in bold accent pieces. Oversized henna motifs from India, indigo
Shibori from Japan and african wood cuts with hand drawn lines give an overall global feel and show a cross covering of trends world wide. Brian Yates capture this in their Siroc wallpaper

Spring Has Sprung
Combinations of green tones and pastel shades of lilac inspired lavender and blue are a combination born to be together. They bring meadow inspired interiors and accentuate the need for foliage inside our homes. Farrow and Ball have created a refreshing look using their Pitch Blue, no.222 and Calke Green, No.34 giving us a real countryside inspired decorative scheme. http://www.farrow-ball.com

Picture
An Ice Cream Cone full of Colour
Choose your flavour and sprinkle a joy of pastel shades over the top to mix and match shades of coral, pale blue, lilac grey and peach. The power of pastel is strong and injects lightness and a calming sense into a room. We have seen this flood not only into the interiors market but the catwalk too, really bringing fashion to floor. Use multiple shades combined with simple abstract forms of floral and fauna to add some contrast. ​https://www.celine.com/en-gb/home/

The Perfect Imperfect

Having a focus on the revival of handcrafted products, 2018 has seen an
influx of the changing of attitudes towards the effects we have on the planet and from this we have a new found acceptance for perfect imperfection and the recycling and reuse of materials such as plastic and rubber. Deriving from Japanese cultures of wabi sabi its all about bringing nature back home and being content with whats we have. Handmade crafts such as shibori and woven products are brought back to life within this trend. 
Picture
Heimtextil 2018 incorporated this movement as one of their future trends. It is the art of finding beauty in the something that is incomplete and not conforming to what is believed to be pure.

Picture
The Power of Pigment. Red and Blue

Graduations of blue and red use as tone on tone colour palettes are big news. Design is kept simple with layers of contrasting scales of light and dark gradations of colour.
Cherry Tomato and Palace Blue from Pantones collection of Spring Summer 2018 colours show us the brightest sides of these bold hues. Red is seen to be the relaxing influence coming across as confident but soft, whilst Blues encourage energy being uplifting and fresh. Dior seen on the catwalk, combines multiple trends of translucent layers with a reflective edge of molecular design in a rich and appropriately royal blue colouring.

PLANT LIFE

‘GREEN WITH ENVY’
A simple look full of natural beauty focuses on the smaller details, skillfully drawn and delicately balanced. Landscape scenery and life like foliage bring the outside feeling indoors with oversized elements enhanced by wild touches of exotic prints and luscious tones of green.

ABSTRACT FORM
Geometric pattern has stood the test of time and launches back into fashion with force. Flat 2D design is layered with linear elements of permanent marker style black outlines and block colour. It’s all about pattern clash with bright geometrics and bold colour creating contrast to the more simplistic of patterns, adding vibrant tone with iridescent layers of angular shapes.

WABI SABI
This ancient Japanese art of Wabi-sabi emphasises the use of organic materials and the acceptance of imperfection. Its origins lie within Zen Buddhism where it’s all about finding beauty in hand made goods with irregular characteristics.
Bold palettes of pumpkin orange, rustic red tones and grassy greens add focal points to neutral environments keeping colour at one with nature. Taking influence from traditional Japanese design, certain shrines and gates use these warm tones of orange and are believed to obstruct magical powers and evil spirits.
Handmade bowls and creased linens are a must, so leave your show home worries behind and embrace this eastern trend.

A GOLDEN AGE 
INDULGE IN GLAMOUR AND GLITZ
Giving us a classy edge to an interior, gold covers a room with a certain allure of warmth. Pairing this metallic trend with deep tones of black and dark blue creates a contrast like a moon glow against a midnight backdrop of twilight. Opulent and timeless, a touch of gold adds a reflective quality and instantly lights up a room. Contrasting elements are hot on trend and as shown, gold works effortlessly against wooden or concrete textures giving a great clash of natural and man made materials.

MIXED MATERIALS
Mixing and matching creates visual interest so clashing complimentary textures is a great way to add tones of colour without being overly bold. Play with patterns and flow one into another and really show some diversity of style. Combinations of matt and high gloss surfaces work well together either to divide a space or just to add some variation of touch. We get excited by spaces that give ourselves different elements to view and so for this trend, more is definitely more!

Colour is key and now is the time to be adventurous with vivid combinations of light and bright tones of peachy pinks and sunshine yellows anchored with statement bold tones of deep emerald green and indigo blue.
Indulge in large items of furniture such as a rolltop sofa or an oversized mirror to create a focal point and then accent around this with flashes of metallic and hints of pattern through fabric and accessories.

Pantone 2018​

‘The Spring 2018 palette encourages a sense of fun and playful release. With an air of complexity and distinctiveness, we find ourselves in a sanctuary of color that is ideal for some more unique and dramatic color mixing.’
Source. https://www.pantone.com/fashion-color-trend-report-new-york-spring-2018

Embracing bright colour will be the standout trend for Spring 2018 having an intensity of tone rather than the subtlety of softened pastels. This allows for dramatic colour mixing for a unique look and Pantone have given us some great colour clashing opportunities. The core back to basic neutrals are key for a landscaped backgrounds of natural tone effortlessy anchoring a vivid pallette. Even metallic tones can be used as a neutral base, teamed well with marbled whites and concrete coloured surfaces.
Pantone have created a colour palette to allow consumers to start building their own personal style.

Forty years of Decorex launched the beginning of London Design week again held at the ever picturesque setting of Syon Park. With over 400 exhibitors, a wealth of experience was reflected in opulent style combining the best of the past and present. Creating innovative future design trends, Decorex brings together an abundance of designer goods, launching new products and the latest in colour direction.
Brands such as Cole and Son, Sian Zeng and Charlotte Jade capture a tropical infusion of rainforest activity brought to life with a vivid colour palette of aquamarine, hot pink, burnt orange and teal blues. Deeper background tones were evident in providing a richness of colour allowing for pattern to stand out as a statement.

Other colour combinations gave more of a classic feel with indigo blues, grey and moss greens accented with the popular metallic choice of majestic gold.
Natural hues mixed with shades of soft mauves take note from Dulux’s colour of the year, Heart Wood.

Whilst pantones 2018 release of colour reflects a balance of primary tones of ‘Cherry Tomato’ red, ‘Palace Blue’ and a green tinted ‘Meadowlark’ yellow. A calmer collection of shades are also included to soften a palette, ‘Almost Mauve’, ‘Ash Rose’ and ‘Nile Green’. Margo Selbys range of fabric really grasps the bright and light poppy geometric trend seen below.

Contemporary design was strongly influenced by marble and mineral textured effects. Organic bleeds of tonal colour palettes and tactile surfaces gave a real natural feel. Hayles and Howe scagliola collections imitate marble and other hard stone surfaces with a powerful injection of on trend colours of jade greens, rusted orange and indigo blue contrasted with graphite greys and muted browns.

​Botanic prints and tropical palms influenced by Pantones greenery bring walls and floors to life with an organic feel.
Digitally inspired tribal prints also inject some vibrance of colour, mixed with Ikatted repeating patterns creating a modern twist.
Stencilled and silhouetted pattern with textured backgrounds create a more simplistic and sophisticated style of ornate design.

​Watercolour and paint splashed washes create a more contemporary look when painted with a hand drawn feel.
Bluebellgray capture a playful take on loosely painted plantlife and perfectly balance layers of colour with highlights of yellow and fuschia rose tones.

​Tribal inspired cushions and oversized traditional florals were modernised with moody backgrounds and dramatic jewel tones.
Just as jewels do, colours shine and highlight pattern whilst also transforming colourful brights into neutral backgrounds.
Picture
Traditional styles presented opulence, decadence and ornamental drama with rich
velvety fabrics illuminated by oversized chandeliers.
Jacobean embroidery, tapestry with birds and peacocks create a luxurious interior whilst giving a feeling of oriental style.
​
An inspiring and exciting trip to Decorex remembers its past whilst designed for the future.

EVERY HOUSE IS A HOME AND WE ALL LOVE TO INDULGE IN THE COMFORTS THAT GIVE US THAT EXTRA FEEL OF PURE LUXURY.
READ OUR GUIDE OF TOP TIPS AND INSPIRATION TO ADD AN ESSENCE OF OPULENCE TO EVERY ROOM AND FEEL DIVINE!

Picture
1. HOTEL CHIC - A glamorous entrance is everything within a hotel and this should echo within the interiors of a luxurious home. Flooring is a great way to add a vibrance of pattern and colour whether this be tiling or a designer rug.

2. DESIGNER GOODS - Get inspired with the latest trends at all of the best design exhibitions. Visit designer showrooms at Chelsea Harbour or take a trip over to Syon Park with Decorex showcasing the best of interior design.

3. OVERSIZED - Statement mirrors are a must within any room. They increase a sense of light whilst also adding a depth of space. West Elm have an inspiring range of decorative mirrors in an array of sizes so check them out!

4. EVERYDAY - Luxury need not be a one off enjoyment. Be glamorous in everyday life with the latest technologies to ease your day to day tasks. See below our 5 Must Have Luxury Items and start enjoying more time to relax.

5. ART WORK - Create interest and instant colour by dressing your walls with decorative prints and paintings. Research and support local artists and get designs personal to you of surrounding landscapes.

6. ATTENTION TO DETAIL - Quirky ornaments and decorative accessories make a house a home reflecting personality. Carry a theme through your home to create continuity of a trend, linking room to room as if in a high end gallery space.

7. ADD SOME SHINE - Gold, brass and copper elements have been at the centre of fashionable interiors over the past few years. They are complimented by bold but neutral tones of grey and black and look great with matt and polished in juxtaposition.

Hotel inspired home interiors are increasing in popularity with more people willing to take a risk, spend more and design a catalyst of creative glamour for everyday use.
With the need for new technology an emphasis on being able to control everything at the touch of your smart phone is key and we see exciting state of the art products flooding into the market.
Environmental influences steered by Pantones colour of the year, Greenery sees yellow-green shades take centre stage.
Other focus colours include earthy shades of Kale and Hazelnut, with splashy shades of Lapis Blue and Flame, a fiery orange.
Wallpapers evoke opulence and come in many different textures and colours to enable you to make a personal statement.
