Scandi design, and its Japanese fusion counterpart Japandi, takes second place. Offering soothing, peaceful, and serene colour palettes and a clutter free approach to life, it is unsurprising that such a dynamic and joyful trend is so popular across the UK.
Nostalgic eclectic is a great vehicle for expressing your unique personality at home. Combining vintage and quirky patterns and items, nostalgic eclectic offers a broad foundation of options for you to make your home truly unique.
In fourth place is industrial chic. For those that love raw materials with a touch of urban cool, industrial chic is the must have design style. Exposed brickwork, natural wood and metallic shades are ideal for this trend which is dynamic and exciting in equal measure.
Cosy, inviting and chic, modern farmhouse captures the homely comfort of the British countryside with a contemporary twist. Offering a rustic finish that’s elegant and suave, it’s a sublime interior design style.
Fusing patterns and textures from civilisations found around this world of ours, global nomad is a growing trend. Perfect for those with a more eclectic outlook on life, global nomad is the perfect way for celebrating the diversity of culture and tradition.
Brits have been long known for their love of gardens and the natural world, and as a result, its unsurprising biophilia is growing in popularity. Characterised by leafy prints and natural woods, biophilia interior design is the perfect way to add a sustainable finish to your home
Luxurious, opulent and comfortable, lavish lux is a trend dominated by rich tones and soft fabrics. This is a trend typified by velvets and soft wools, geometric shapes and shimmering finishes. This is definitely a decor style for the more adventurous decorators.
Synonymous with the classical style of old stately houses, traditional elegance captures a regal finish in any home. Traditional plant patterns, sophisticated stripes and chic checks are at the core of this delightful trend.
Bold, voracious and energising, maximalist interiors celebrate bold colours, large patterns and an uncompromising commitment to make a space truly unique. Clashing colours aren’t something to avoid in this trend - they’re to be celebrated with style.
