Trend evolutions 2023

Our affinity for tactile textures isn’t going anywhere, with flouncy sheers and liquid velvets remaining key elements within our schemes. We seek to present them in the colours of nature, enriching our lives by bringing the outdoors into our homes with greens in every imaginable hue.

Neutral palettes transcend seasons while off-white backgrounds retain freshness in classic shades of green, blue, and indigo, often accented by gilded gold. These cool, mid-tone blues and sage greens link to our desire for traditional textiles and take us on an escape into interiors of the past.

It’s clear that the tropics are (still) calling but the season is changing and they're not immune to our beloved 70s colour palette. Autumnal tropical prints are expressed on dark grounds awash with sepia tones and metallic touches, pairing our taste for glamour with dramatic biophilia.

The palette also translates nourishing desert pigments into our spaces, speaking to trends like Care Culture and our ongoing devotion to wellness. Warm, sun-baked shades of burnt rust, terracotta, and spiced cinnamon complement these varied greens and metallic gold accents.

Our Maximalist tendencies are channelling energetic brights, bold colour-blocking, and contrasting colours into our interior schemes. Trends like Full Spectrum and Visual Optimism continue to inspire our creativity whilst the growing desire to fill our living spaces with positive hues suffuses colour confidently across spaces.

Colours borrow hyper saturation from our continued exploration of the digital realm, with striking near-neon brights ensuring statement pieces vibrate within our spaces. From vivid yellow to crimson red, it’s clear that bold is best.

Vibrant colourways play on tradition by offering a modern twist on perennial stripes and checks, crafted in luxurious constructions which are especially enhanced by the technical developments in outdoor textiles.

A reminder of collected textiles, fabrics which spark memories of family homes tie Nostalgia and Reconstructed Legacy into our schemes with a modern bent of Creative Confidence.

In painterly pairings, smudged shades of sky blue, plum, eucalyptus, and ochre hark back to the murky yet complementary shades of nature. These earthy, natural colours create a bold statement in their own way, with colour combinations reminiscent of the works of England’s Bloomsbury Group, incorporating fruits, vegetables, and flowers to bruised perfection within our interior furnishings. 

The past provides an inexhaustible source of interior design inspiration and our nostalgic desire to romanticise it has created Reconstructed Legacy. Cherished heirlooms speak to past comforts, known or unknown, and encourage us to reimagine the design elements through a contemporary lens.

Perennial heritage prints and botanical designs, from scientific illustrations to chinoiserie, are once more returning to the fore in products inspired by antique furnishings. Vintage prints and those with hand-painted qualities found throughout stately European homes speak to a revival of the floral or pastoral repeats of toile de jouy and chintz styles.

These ornate spaces fuel our passion for wallcoverings as modern reinterpretations of luminaries such as G P & J Baker and de Gournay reappear in our spaces, and we continue to seek out opportunities to bring the outdoors in. With modern revisions breathing new life into traditional prints, who wouldn’t want to live in an eternal springtime?

Building on the bodacious 1970s love affair, earthy tones and dark neutrals continue to infuse our interiors with a sense of opulence, updating classic furnishings with tactile velvets and corduroys.

Reconstructed Legacy radiates in sun-drenched tones as golden finishes take dirty martini green, rusted orange, and chocolate brown in an exuberant direction. Rich shades of mulberry, plum, and deep green are enhanced by copper, while wallpapers printed in sepia tones bring a smoky, caramelised glow into living spaces.
