THE ACCESSORY DU JOUR?

The etegere is displacing bookcases. We prefer our furniture light and airy.  

 Terracotta planters

A timeless piece that will give your interior a well rounded appearance.

 WICKER

The material of the moment. Seek out gorgeous basketware – trays to planters, flasks, boxes and bins.

       Antiqued mirror

It makes everything look posh.   

Greenery

For anyone who thinks a plant is just a plant, consider lofty palm leaves this season for a look of tropical luxe.

             EMBELLISHMENT

Handmade, authentic one-off ceramics, textiles, and porcelain made using trad methods are one of the most desirable interiors items right now. Why? They are decorative, interesting, and a statement that you are educated, well-travelled and interested in the world. Fave sources include Morocco, Turkey, the Middle East, India, South America, Thailand, Korea, Burma, Indonesia, Africa, China, or Japan. 

MIXED METALS

Can’t choose between copper and brass, or bronze or nickel. No problem. The latest trend is all about combining as many metals as you fancy. It follows in the footsteps of the mega-trend for combining more than one material in furniture with a mix of glass, marble, wood, stone or concrete. H&M Home has a great range of bargain brass pots and planters in all shapes and sizes. 

       GLASS

From a lovely lamp base to a glass dome, glossy glass is having a major moment. It makes everything look like a million dollars. Seek out pieces from high end to high street (think H&M Home, Kmart, Ikea and Zara Home).
