The year is passing us by.
Held hostage in our homes for our own safety, no one is quite sure of the best foot forward.

What we can control is our own environment. We can make our safe spaces places of beauty and solace. Read on to learn this seasons trends….

Making a trend work for you.
If the pastel pink trend was too sugary for you, adding a hint of lilac to you neutral tones can be just as effective. It’s a lovely alternative to grey and promotes balance between he more vibrant red and blues also on trend.

Trends that are here for the long haul.
As stated in earlier blogs different variants of green are a massive trend this year. This season these shades seem even more prevalent as we have been ‘stuck in’. There are beautiful variances on the market, just a few of my favourites are below.

I need Space!
No matter what space you have at home, we all feel on top of one another at some point just now. We can kill two birds with one stone by taking inspiration from sunnier climbs (as inspiration may be all we get for the time being) and having a bit of a clear out. The recycling units are opening next week and I’m sure we’ve all de cluttered and have trips to make! This minimisation in rooms will remind us of holiday homes and hotels. Twin this with some clever decoration and we could be anywhere in the World.

Things are changing every day. Let us help you make at least some of these changes positive ones!
