SPOTLIGHT ON...
As the days get longer and brighter, our thoughts turn to dream destinations. But regardless of whether you’re planning a summer holiday this year, your interiors can also o er the feeling of escapism you’re craving. With some inspired injections of creativity and personality, a living room, dining room or bedroom can become a destination in its own right.
Kelly Wyles, head of upholstery at DFS, explains, “Drawing on locations from across the globe, we showcase interiors trends that are rooted in a sense of place and enhanced by notes of luxury. Whether you’re taking inspiration from 1970s Palm Beach, a rustic rural cabin or a Scandi cottage, there’s something to suit every taste and personality, and help you make your own home your go-to destination for the summer season.”
Here are some of our favourite looks from the collection: Find your amboyant Florida vibe with the Palm Beach trend
Featuring a bright colour scheme of sunshine yellows and vibrant greens, o set by glossy, bright whites, the Palm Beach look oozes retro Florida glamour. Perfect for either a living room or bedroom, introduce bold pops of yellow into your space with these furnishings. The Sophie Robinson Standen sofa in Buttercup velvet, available exclusively at DFS, injects instant impact into a living room, while the bold patterned DFS Sera na Medium Rug can complement a beautiful bedroom space. Wood, rattan and bamboo materials complete the look to bring this playful, exotic and luxurious trend to life.
Bring joy to your home with the Playful Living trend
If maximalist interiors are more your thing, then it’s time to embrace playful colours and patterns to brighten your home and infuse it with joy and vibrancy. Begin with a colourful sofa from the new Sophie Robinson collection available at DFS, such as the Fairlight 3-seater sofa in Rose, and add additional occasional pieces and accessories in bold and clashing colours. Stripes, cheques and orals can combine to create a wonderfully unique style.
