Autumn brings a fresh take on our wardrobes and a host of interiors updates ripe for the new season.
Style director Louise Hilsz shares three exciting trends from a platform that constantly inspires us - Instagram. Read on to find a mood board of colour, texture and style to help you update any living space.
Japandi
An elegant mash-up of Japanese minimalism and rustic Scandinavian simplicity, Japandi blends two of the most-loved interior styles. This trend will suit someone who prefers an uncluttered interior style with a less-is-more approach, think clean lines, and a calm, subdued colour palette. The vibe you’re aiming for is a blend of cosy Scandinavian hygge and the Japanese theory of ‘wabi-sabi’ - effortless beauty in the simple things.

Retro Colour Blocking
Clashing colour happens to be Hilsz’s area of expertise, and with this trend, she has taken inspiration from the ’60s and 70’s interior design. It’s definitely the boldest interior look, and paint is where to start if you like this trend. We suggest building your style around three striking colours and then fill your home with accessories, bold fabrics and quirky art that clashes beautifully.
