Mixed textures
Creating interest and intrigue in your home can be easily done through the mixture of textures, colours, and materials which are renowned for elevating a space’s style. There are multiple ways to incorporate this trend into your home, through soft furnishings, shaggy rugs, and carpets, from short and hard-wearing to soft and luxurious. Layering textures achieves this maximalism inspired trend, which promotes incredible craftmanship and durability for the best of both worlds. Selecting the right materials and knowing how to mix them is key to a timeless design.
For style and substance, our Home Choice Dublin Shore Beige Twist is a classic wall-to-wall carpet, whilst deep pile carpets such as our Home Choice Madrid Capital Cream Saxony, are popular in bedrooms as they’re super soft underfoot. If you’re after something a little more luxurious and textured underfoot, discover the pinnacle of luxury carpeted flooring with our incredible range of wool carpets.
Carpets have really evolved as an interior trend throughout the year, as natural materials have grown in popularity as we all focus more on sustainability. So it’s not surprising carpets are making a huge comeback.
Another way you can incorporate the use of natural materials is with characterful solid wood, or even the look of them with flooring options such as DIY-friendly laminate and striking stone-effect vinyl. Marrying any of these varying textured floors with different materials within your furniture creates a funky and individual look that’ll have your home bang on-trend.
Global influence

It perfectly pairs together wooden, rattan, and woven accessories and can be easily bought into your home. This trend is all about capturing a multi-cultural aesthetic with styles used and loved all around the globe.
Giving a broad taste of what Global Influence includes, it has best been described as: “Taking influence from nature, nostalgia and the desire for a tropical getaway, living spaces will reflect the current situation we are faced with, embracing calming colour palettes and familiar patterns that create a sanctuary in any home.” [credit: www.homesandgardens.com]
