How can soft furnishings change a room?
“Soft furnishings can instantly make a room more cosy and comfortable. Additionally, they enhance and add visual interest to an interior scheme, through colour, pattern or a mix of both! Also, textures play a role in enhancing the depth and feel of a space.”
Got a hot tip?
“Play with colour! A pop of colour goes a long way – simply select a colour to form the basis of your soft furnishings selection. Mix and match for added fun and delight. A blue and white floral cushion contrasts well against blue and white stripes, as well as solid blue cushions in different textures.”
What are we likely to see as colour and texture trends for 2019?
“Natural-touch soft furnishings: Wall coverings and fabrics with a natural element (such as bark, abaca and salago fibre) are gaining in popularity. This is thanks to an increased global desire to be more in touch with nature.
Living colourfully: Why go for a bland palette when a kaleidoscope of colour is available? Colourful interiors are a major ongoing trend. Popular colours include jewel tones of emerald greens, ruby reds and sapphire blues. Warm shades are also making a comeback – an example being Living Coral, Pantone’s Colour of the Year in 2019.
All about prints: Abstract prints, floral and geometric motifs. Designers are having fun playing with (and combining) these patterns.”
