Now more than ever our homes have become our sanctuary – a haven for us to feel comfort and protection, a space from which to virtually connect with extended family and friends, to discover new creative skills or rediscover past hobbies as well as a versatile space or dedicated room for our home office and all-important virtual classroom for our children. Spending more time indoors provides the perfect opportunity for us to better understand our habits and rhythms and how we ideally want each space within our home to function and to look. And with spring finally here, now is the perfect time to start planning a refreshing update or full refurbishment for your home.
To provide some inspiration, we take a look at the top interior design trends for spring/summer 2020. We would love to know your favourite trend and hope that we can support you in refreshing, maintaining, or enhancing your spaces in the coming months.

This year, Pantone’s Colour of the Year is Classic Blue. Intimate and calming, blue interiors represent harmony, safety and stability. One of the great things about blue is its versatility. Dark tones can bring drama to a space whereas paler shades can act as a calming base note. In our blog post ‘Why the coolest colour of 2020 is here to stay’, we look at why blue is such an effective colour to use in interiors, and explore some of the ways in which we’ve applied this versatile shade to some of our projects.
