Meet Future Classics

Imagine walking into a room that is comfortably familiar, yet energised with something new. The term is ‘newstalgia’, and it is one of this year’s most popular design trends. Newstalgia combines the familiarity of the past with sparks of joy and excitement.

Design classics from the 1970s and 1980s are back in fashion, but with a twist – they’ve been modernized and reimagined in rich colours, textures, patterns and finishes. This year is all about self-expression: Creating a space that is mood-boosting, playful and reflective of individual personalities.

We’re shrugging off the cool, careful, minimalist styles that have weathered a long stretch of popularity. Instead, we’re becoming fearless and free in our creativity, hunting down bold and attention-grabbing décor to refresh our living spaces on a budget.

We might invest in a single statement piece that brings us joy every time we look at it. Or we might look to upcycle, rehome, repaint, re-love, or repurpose nostalgic or inexpensive pieces that provide us comfort.

Painting is an easy and inexpensive D.I.Y. project that can instantly lift, brighten or change the mood of an entire room. Choose delicious colours like smoked paprika, pomegranate and caramel. Refresh a piece of furniture in Taubmans ‘Straw Basket’. Create dramatic features in either Dulux ‘Mars Red’ or ‘Very Cherry’. Or surround yourself in the comforting warmth of

Taubmans ‘Gingerbread Man’ on your walls. Pair these colours with brushed bronze, brass and stainless-steel finishes.

Go bold with geometric patterns while indulging in nostalgic textures – velvet, bouclé and shag – to bring a tactile, reassuring feel to your home. Use these in cushions, throws and rugs.

Look for freeform designs that are wiggly, wavy and geometric –anything that has a handmade or artisan look to it. Use these in vases, stools and lighting.

Above all, be playful. Embrace unapologetic, off-kilter pairings that delight and amp up the feel-good factor of your home. More and more, our homes are reflections of our identities. Make yours a place of joy

Natural-looking textures, neutral colours and small, intentional imperfections give these artisanal urns a traditional look.

Indoor lighting can completely alter the ambiance of a room – and our mood. It’s an important feature that’s often overlooked and it’s a small change that can have a big effect on a space.

This year’s style trend is all about ‘newstalgia’, a modern twist on design classics from the 1970s and 1980s. Table lamps

Meet Nature’s Narrative

Nature soothes the soul. It has a proven positive effect on our physical and mental wellbeing, and so it comes as no surprise that, in times of uncertainty, we seek it out. Nature is a huge inspiration for this year’s style trends, with designs that amplify well-being and stability. The focus of this trend is creating calming spaces we can retreat to, encouraging a connection with our natural surroundings.

Our home should be a place to relax and unwind. Our Nature’s Narrative collection sees a neutral focus utilising authentic materials and crafted textures – items that are soothing to admire and reassuring to touch, that inspire a sense of serenity.

Designs blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. We’re inviting nature inside with the use of colour (wooded browns, leafy greens, ocean blues), ceramic, stone and wood, creating a feeling of peace and relaxation year-round.

The emphasis is on selecting nature-inspired colours, pieces and materials that update our spaces, rather than transforming them. We’re choosing accents that make us feel good. We’re also drawing a firm line separating work from downtime through clever organisation and storage that keeps our space – and mind – clear.

Texture is king in creating a soothing and sensory home. Choose plush rugs or ones made with a tactile, chunky yarn – anything that feels good underfoot. Wrap up in throws made from faux-fur or bouclé – something that makes you feel cosy and secure. Look for natural-hued cotton weaves and linens for cushions – it will help you keep nature front of mind in your day-to-day life.

Surround yourself with colours that are warm, yet reduced. Greens, like Dulux ‘Shallot Leaf’, are a symbol of growth and hope. Earthy tones (Taubmans ‘Doctor Jones’, for example) cultivate a sense of stability and timelessness, while soft whites are meditative. Refresh a piece of furniture in Taubmans ‘Oak Glen’. Create a dramatic feature wall in Dulux ‘Bona Fide’. Pair these with wicker and ceramic materials and tarnished metal finishes.

Choose authentic, natural materials of wood, stone and marble for accents like plant pots, mirrors, and lighting. Add softness in the form of woolen rugs or woven texture baskets for storage, for example. Look for curves – anything that provides a feeling of security or a sense of movement.

Nature is completely imperfect, and we trust that, because –somehow – everything fits together. Your home can provide you with the same sense of calm. Bring the outdoors inside and make your home your sanctuary.

Mats

Indoor pots with luscious plants not only look great in the home they also bring a lot of health benefits, from increasing relaxation to purifying the air. Plant pots also bring their own beauty to the room. Choose natural materials for warmth, like a rattan planter with weaving, or a brushed brass planter on a black stand for an elemental impression.

Get clever with storage, choosing vintage-looking pieces that are innovative and designed for modern living.

A study nook, home office or craft corner is a key component of your home, look for accents that make it as relaxing as possible. Surround yourself with soothing colours. Good organisation (including clever cable management and power solutions) is another way to enhance calm, especially if you select stylish products in pretty hues.

Don’t underestimate the impact of organising your electronic devices. Power boards with multiple outlets, cable organisers, clips and cable trays can have things under control in no time.
