British brand John Lewis highlights two trends – Coastal and Fusion – in its Spring / Summer home collection in selected SM Home branches.
The spirit of the British seaside is alive in Coastal, where the warmth of nostalgia is given a fresh, modern update. Relaxed textures, simple stripes and plainly crafted pieces reflect the comfort and informality of a home by the sea.
This relaxed, beachy look combines all the colors associated with the seaside. Think sandy beiges, off-whites and greys, and pepped up with Côte d’Azur blue.
Bring the nautical look to life with decorative touches. Think rope details, fish motifs, and galvanized steel pendants. Use accessories to express your personal style. This look should be informal, comfortable and filled with stuff that you love.
Fusion, on the other hand, is a collector’s paradise that celebrates a rich, cultural diversity of influences. It blends colour, pattern, and texture to create a style that is both worldly and individual. You can infuse your home with global style no matter where you live.
In your bedroom, mix striking patterns and textures against a neutral backdrop of pale walls and dark wood furniture. Textiles take their influence from across the globe with ikat prints and intense colours such as saffron and indigo. You can also hang lighting at a low level to create a relaxed glow in your bedroom
