A time of extensive travel restrictions has had the world longing for distant shores. The year ahead sees our wanderlust returning and the need to bring foreign elements into our spaces. Think Moroccan lanterns, Persian rugs, and the white and blue colour way of the Greek islands. Personally, I’ve converted a vintage trunk into a bedside table to bring my love of travel into my bedroom – nothing like a good repurpose. 

This year, with a growing focus on sustainable living, the world’s got its eye on everything organic – from food, to incorporating natural elements into our homes. I’ve infused my kitchen with a bit of nature’s magic by adding in some hand woven hanging baskets from Baskiti – they’re great for storing vegetables and bringing pastoral beauty to my kitchen. 

There’s something about a fusion between the old and the new that brings real human character to a space – that gives the space an interesting sense of history. This year, we’ll see a lot more rustic elements in the contemporary home – weathered, wooden picture frames, shabby-chic scatter cushions and fabric lampshades.
