What
a winter. One minute we are blasted by our coldest winter for
years the next greeted by milder interludes and warmer than
average temperatures. No wonder we are a nation obsessed with
our weather. Here are a few ideas to bring comfort, joy and
some Seventies colour to our ‘fifty shades of grey’ days as we
seek solace in our homes. |

Yes,
this softly tactile and slightly decadent material was a
great hit last year and velvet continues to be one of
the top interior trends for 2019. Midnight blue seduces
us this winter with brighter shades of orange, yellow
and green in store for spring. There is a vast array of
designs from upholstery pieces, patterned velvets (check
out divine-savages.com) to plush lighting. The velvet
sofa is a luxury lounge staple, velvet chairs versatile
enough to be used in every room and velvet is a natural
bedfellow for headboards. Take to the floor with our
velvet-style carpets in our Faux and Barefoot
collections. |

It’s
time to rethink tie-dye. This crafty tinting technique
was named in the Sixties, reached peak popularity in the
Seventies, briefly resurfaced in the Nineties and is now
given a modern update. It’s characterised by bright,
saturated colours and bold patterns. Forget the Summer
of Love and enjoy the Wool Iconic Stripe Cassidy and
Wool Iconic Stripe Fitzgerald bringing a sophisticated
tie-dye effect on multi-coloured carpet in red shades to
warm up our floors this winter. |

The
new PANTONE colour of the year is Living Coral, a
cheerful peachy pigment that ‘embraces us with warmth
and nourishment to provide comfort and buoyancy in our
continually shifting environment. Representing the
fusion of modern life, PANTONE Living Coral is a
nurturing color that appears in our natural surroundings
and at the same time, displays a lively presence within
social media.’ It is now gaining traction in homewares.
We love this alternative Margo Selby Stripes shot
through with Coral... Dare we say coral is the new grey?

One
final thought is the popularity of green in kitchens
this season and a colour likely to spread throughout
your home. Green is the colour of nature, calm and
compromise, all elements that we need more of right now.
