As spring/summer edges closer, now is the time to start to consider the new-season home style.

Sripes have been big news in the fashion industry for years and they’ve now moved into the home. They are large, compact or thin, the stripes always find a way to be a fashionable pattern. The simplicity of the stripes trend will give your interiors a style update that is timeless and chic without ever looking cluttered. The simplest ideas are always the best.

Here’s how you can work the trend in a functionally, stylish way but rememeber that a rug will read as one of the largest pieces of “furniture” in the space, so be sure to take into account the tones in your flooring, walls and other fixed finishes when selecting.

The top colour trends for 2017:

GREENISH CHESTNUT satin gold, greige, pebble and graphite, tied together with slick, inky black.
PINKISH ASHEN dark grey and pearl meld into nude, soft rose, blush, dusky pink and vibrant rose.
