graphical way across home interior products and although seemingly stark, this trend is not without its comforting elements or sense of humour; print icons for this trend include sharp, bold chevrons or quirky whimsical characters, which work especially well across dining and cookware. Black, white and grey herringbone patterns and warm, dark wools evoke a comforting angle to this graphic trend. By working this palette into
cosy, tactile fabrics, this trend is easily translated for soft furnishings. Over the festive period, black and white can be integrated; intricate, papercraft table and tree decorations work well in this stark, bold colour scheme and by adding a metallic accent, this instantly lifts the palette to create a sophisticated, celebratory Christmas style.
CULTURE CRAFT Lastly, by far the biggest trend in terms of the festive season is the continuing cross-cultural tribal
story we’ve seen growing over the past couple of seasons. The look is crafted and handmade, with a bold injection of colour to brighten the home during the dark, wintery months. Unashamedly lo-tech, this trend celebrates rudimentary craft and traditional skills, as a wider consumer base begins to appreciate handmade goods for the home. Navajo inspired geometrics and harlequin patterns are a focal point for printed textiles and ceramics, whilst rugs and throws mimic the knitted patterns of vintage Welsh Carthern blankets. Hand- embroidery is an essential decorative motif, which will invigorate white cotton bedding and small soft furnishing accessories. For Christmas, embroidered felt and ceramic decorations breathe life into the traditional Christmas tree and recycled wood is repurposed for a
smaller seasonal decorations. n
