Interior Trends- Spring/Summer 2013: Folklore

Now that the bulbs are  bursting into bloom  and the sun is starting to peak though the clouds we are feeling all inspired! so, over the next few weeks we thought we would introduce you to some of the latest interior trends, we hope you enjoy looking at the lovely products and that you find inspiration for your own space! 

To start we have gathered some beautifully delicate, elegant and calming products that are in keeping with Folklore style. This pretty trend incorporates cool pastel colours with stunning motifs  with a subtle us of symbolism.

  

From wallpaper to cushions, products that fit within this trend can be used to style a complete room or of course just add an in-style finishing touch to any room. Here are some ideas ….. 

Shimu does their own interpretation of the trend with this individualistic cabinet, £225. 

This graceful chair by The French Furniture Company, £345,  will add a charm to any room.

Wallpaper is a great way to incorporate the trend to a room, Shimu has a fabulous range from £340 sq m.

Having a folklore feature chair will enhance a rooms character. This classy interpretation on the trend by The Odd Chair Company, £2,100.00, is a perfect example.

Or why not go for a larger feature in the form of a sofa by The Odd Chair Company, £3,200.00.

007: How to get the Bond Lifestyle

The recent release of the latest James Bond film, Skyfall, is sure to spark a new trend; gentleman’s club style. 007 may have become a style icon for the man of today creating the desire to want a Bond lifestyle.

The majority of males have watched the film, absorbing themselves into the world of Bond, and we are sure that many would like to be him; and why wouldn’t they want his toned physique, action adventures, amazing cars, beautiful women…need we go on.

Obviously, the normal man to Bond transaction is not easy; intensive gym sessions and mind blowing brain exercises are hard, even for a trained agent. But the average male can enjoy their own piece of the Bond luxury lifestyle, with little effort and from the comfort of their own home, by surrounding themselves with all things Bond. We think that these gentleman’s club style products are a great place to start. 

Bonds treasures will be safe in these storage boxes by Shimu…

007 would be very at home on the latest Chesterfield collection of sofas by Iconic Interiors; we can imagine him now, sat on these classy sofas in his swarve suit sipping a Martini (shaken not stirred of course)….

But he’s going to need somewhere to store those Martini bottles and glasses, The French Furniture Company have just the thing in a manly dark wood…

Now any man can follow Bond lifestyle trend without putting their life on the line and who knows this image may just draw the ladies in.
