Google Trends has shown a recent increase in the desire for tropically-inspired home furnishings and décor. Palm leaves, pineapples and animal prints bring an enticing holiday-at-home atmosphere into interiors. Our Tropical Vibes range will ignite your jungle fever with colourful leopard and tiger canvases and leafy cushions. The gold leopard statue would look adorable peeking out from your indoor plants.

Colourful canvases with bold and vibrant imagery are very much among the trend for 2019. Cheeky cow portraits, vivacious flowers, and exotic doorways into foreign lands offer a playful rebellion against traditional design. The darling eyes within the Folk llama Print seem to follow you around the room. This enchanting Folk canvas (pictured) would bring an international vibe into any interior space.

Each year colour categorising company, Pantone, nominates the hot colour of the year. For 2019, it is “living coral”, which they describe as “animating and life-affirming… with a golden undertone”. We’ve responded with a number of pieces, including the Cate chair in coral and Aruba coral cushion. The Constance Lady Bust and the Tate Collections French Lady with Flowers (top of page) emanate European chic.

Kitsch is all about reinterpreting high art with bold colours or humour and irony. We’ve embraced this idea with gleeful abandon.

Gold, silver, brass and copper have had a comeback. Although, rather than have your spaces dripping with Hollywood glam, think subtle accents, frames and trims. Our collection has embraced the bling with gold-trim bathroom accessories, a cat trinket dish and dazzling golden mirrors with a ‘Cosmic’ theme. Or pop a plant into the Marrakesh plant stand to gild your greenery.
