Ditch the dusty doilies, but keep the vintage vibes! The latest interior trend, the "moody martini aesthetic," isn't your grandma's tea party. Think more old Hollywood glamour with a modern twist, like sipping martinis with Audrey Hepburn in her chic Parisian apartment. Style director Louise Hilsz shares this gorgeous new trend.
Imagine vintage-inspired pieces whispering stories of the past, paired with luxurious fabrics inviting indulgence. Ornate glassware gleams like jewels, while rich, warm tones create an atmosphere of intimate drama. A subtle nod to the olive and martini motif adds a touch of playfulness without veering into kitsch.

This aesthetic isn't about chasing fleeting trends. It's about cultivating a timeless space that reflects your refined taste. Imagine hosting intimate gatherings where conversation flows as smoothly as your favourite martini or simply unwinding in a haven that soothes your soul with its quiet elegance. This trend is about embracing sophistication with a hint of intrigue, like a captivating book you can't wait to finish. It's about creating a sanctuary that reflects your unique journey and speaks to your personal sense of style.
