In an industry with ever-changing trends and fads, it’s nice to know there are some constants and classic looks that will never date within interior design. There is one trend, however, that not only seems to be here to stay, but has changed the interiors industry possibly permanently. And it’s affected not just interiors, but the building and construction business, both in terms of how and where we work and live.
Our well-being, is now one of the most important themes in our consciousness today, and is fast dictating how we live and the environment we create. With research showing how our surroundings can affect our physical and emotional lives, it feels as though this trend is only at the beginning of its design journey.
As discussed in a previous blog, an English country house interior can be recreated today with all the benefits of the modern age, but without the fear of looking too chintzy or too….Miss Marple.
With the basic colourpalette in place, like many interior design schemes, it is the furnishings and accessories that can lift this look from adequate to outstanding.
When it comes to country homes, it is the furniture, soft furnishings, accessories, souvenirs and general stuff of life that make the scheme. These items can look beautiful in their own right, but for an authentic feel, they also need to tell a story.
