SPRING RENEWAL
AS WE SLOW DOWN, EMBRACE THIS SEASON’S RELAXED MODERN-COUNTRY LOOK – IT’S CALM AND CONSIDERED, WITH A STRONG CONNECTION TO NATURE
Spring Renewal is about styling a space that is relaxed and inviting yet fresh. ‘It’s very much centred around creating calm,’ says Philippa Prinsloo, Partner & Design Manager, Home. ‘As we become more mindful of what we eat, how we exercise and relax, we are understanding more and more that our environment plays a significant part in affecting our mindset.’
The new collection utilises earthy tones – think soft blush, mint green, sky blue and warm clay – combined in a harmonious, easy-to-live-with palette.
“Spring renewal forges a textural landscape crying out to be touched”
‘By creating a look that layers natural materials and champions craftsmanship, Spring Renewal forges a textural landscape crying out to be touched,’ says Philippa. ‘Look for ceramic glazes, soft, diffused patterns and woven pieces that build this look into something rich and tranquil, while last season’s sell-out rattan furniture returns with more pieces and new timber finishes.’
It’s a look that allows you to mix and match, building on that relaxed feel, buying those pieces you really love – today and for years to come.
“Use earthy tones to create a restorative and relaxing retreat”
At the heart of this trend, you’ll find the beautiful Aura pattern, which evolved from a mixed media original artwork by Partner & Designer, Home Design Studio, Naomi Barber. ‘The design captures the original painting’s distinct brush marks and soft tones, inspired by meadow flowers across the horizon on a hazy summer’s day,’ says Philippa. Find the design gracing cushions, bed linen and even a wall mural.
Use Aura as the starting point for your accessories, pulling in pieces in plain colours to complement the print. Try dressing your sofa with a strong orange throw draped over its arm teamed with a collection of soft pastel cushions, or layering up your bed with natural linens.
