Summer Trends
With the recent UK heatwave, it’s safe to say summer has officially arrived!
From sunny outdoor BBQs, to long golden evenings and those much needed refreshing showers, now’s the perfect time to make the most of these special moments at home in the sunshine.
Dive into some of our favourite trends of the season, think texture, playful patterns and plenty of ways to bring warmth and joy into your home.
Miami Pastels
Introducing a gentle take on beautiful pastel hues - we’re heading overseas to Miami for a much-needed dose of playful colour.
Soft buttery yellow, baby blues, powerful pinks and gorgeous greens bring a touch of the tropics to your home this summer.
Look to Florida's bright, picturesque buildings, or vintage Art Deco paintings and posters for inspiration.
Often used as the foundation for design in many hotels, transform your interior with a luxury yet fun touch.
Seaside Stripes
Ever returned from a trip to the seaside and thought how can I recreate this at home?
Beautiful coastal motifs, such as blue or red ticking stripes can be easily incorporated through a variety of soft furnishings and accessories.
When combined with organic textures and relaxed fabrics, you’ll achieve a soothing, laidback feel in your home.
Our newly launched Carnival stripe collection with Margo Selby is inspired by the idyllic Kent seaside town of Margate and its nostalgic attractions - one to add to your moodboard definitely.
Patterns with Personality
A well placed pattern can instantly add a sense of depth and a whimsical touch to your interiors.
And it’s not always about going bold, even the most pared back, neutral tones can work wonders.
Beautiful, interesting patterns have such a way of weaving storytelling and an aspect of your creative personality into your space.
See what takes your interest this summer and find a way to incorporate it into your home.
Boho Gardens
Boho gardens are becoming a popular trend, not just for summer but all year round.
They bring a relaxed, characterful atmosphere that makes your outdoor space feel just like your favourite holiday resort.
A creative mix of outdoor rugs, oversized scatter cushions, ambient lighting and colourful accessories to achieve a peaceful setting.
The key is to avoid anything too polished, embracing an imperfect, lived-in approach.
“Courtyard gardens are rising in popularity as homeowners seek to create serene, intimate outdoor spaces that feel effortlessly elegant. Inspired by the timeless charm of Provence and Parisian terraces, these gardens blend structured beauty with relaxed informality. Achieving the look doesn’t have to be costly - simple touches like repurposed terracotta pots, climbing vines, and a small water feature can transform even the quaintest courtyard into a retreat.”
Alex Bridgman, CEO of Bridgman
A Peaceful Retreat
Prioritising sleep and relaxation is essential in the bedroom, especially in the heat!
Although knowing what textures to incorporate can be tricky.
Starting from the ground up, create a bedroom that feels calm, inviting and stylish.
Look to incorporate materials that are soft, breathable and durable to last you all year round.
