With summer just around the corner, it’s important that your house looks the part. Floral, colour pop, antique chic – we’ve all the must-have trends you need to update your look. And it doesn’t have to break the bank balance. Special summer events can get quite costly. But don’t worry there are ways to transform your home on a budget.
Who says style ends at your wardrobe? Make a statement in SS14, here’s how.
Fun Florals
We can’t get enough of florals at the moment, and this includes in the home. The bright and breezy feel is just perfect for SS14. And the real beauty lies in their versatility. You could embrace florals in full force with a feature wall and let the trend do the talking. Or opt for a more demure alternative – soft, subtle rose walls accessorised with a vase of flowers.
For just a taste, flavour your kitchen with cute, ditsy vintage prints. Our new Katie Alice collection of cottage florals looks gorgeous in a summer home. We love this Katie Alice English Garden Tea for One Set – it’s a firm favourite for the new season.
Colour Pop
Be the envy of your neighbours with colour pop. A dramatic burst of colour can really define your home. If you’re feeling confident, colour block in bold yellows and greens; it makes a statement and is perfect for the new season. Or simply accent with a hint of colour pop – a touch of red or teal.
According to colour experts Pantone, the essential colour for 2014 is Radiant Orchid. It’s suitably feminine for spring/summer and really catches the eye. If you prefer the sweet mix of purple and pinks, check out our Eleanor Rug. It’s an understated alternative to conventional colour pop.
Antique Chic
For effortless style, try antique chic. Whilst it isn’t all singing all dancing like other statement styles, it definitely has character. Think refined neutral tones, predominately creams and browns, with excess ornamentation. If you’ve always fancied a luxury pillow or two, or even this Owls Wall Art, this is the trend to shop for.
