STYLE WITH A STORY
The new Disney Home brand is here to bring bold, joyful style to your interior. We look at the inspiration behind the designs, and share some inspiring ideas for showing off these unique pieces
Interiors experts agree – the most stylish homes are those that tell interesting stories, transporting you from the everyday to a place of comfort and escapism. Now there’s a new way to bring the charm of storytelling into your surroundings: Disney’s modern, versatile home brand. Fusing fun and functionality, it will enchant Disney fans and interiors aficionados alike. The ranges draw on nearly a century’s worth of iconic characters, featuring everything from statement wallpaper and rugs to furniture and children’s bedding. One-off designer collaborations and bespoke pieces are also in the mix. It’s not just for young audiences, either: designs in graphic prints and monochrome colourways are perfect for adding a fresh, modern punch to grown-up rooms. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re a fan of classic Disney (think Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse) or the contemporary cool of Pixar and Marvel. Here, we explore the collection’s hero pieces and ways that you can make the most of them.
CLASSIC CHIC
The Mickey Mouse Vintage Episodes wallpaper has timeless appeal, paying tribute to almost
100 years of magical stories. Whether you use it to create a feature wall or to clad a whole space, it’s like stepping into Mickey’s world, and brings a playful, nostalgic feel to a room. Teamed with pale wood furniture and a simple colour palette, its bright hues are ideal for a child’s bedroom or playroom (it’s washable and peelable, too). Alternatively, think outside the box and try this design in a small guest bathroom or cloakroom, where its narrative charm can be admired up close.
IT’S NOT JUST FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES… THE DESIGNS ADD A FRESH, MODERN PUNCH TO GROWN-UP ROOMS, TOO
For a sophisticated take on Mickey Mouse that suits a chic living room, there’s a range of stylish accessories to choose from. Mickey and Minnie figurines in mirror-finish gold and chrome add a touch of glamour to a sideboard; juxtapose them with your favourite artworks and ceramics for a display that’s full of character. There are also abstract textiles based on the iconic Mickey figure, showing how Disney’s designers have cleverly updated this timeless franchise for the modern home. The Mickey & Friends rug in understated greys transforms three of Disney’s best-loved characters – Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy – into a bold, graphic pattern.
MODERN HEROES
Celebrate Disney’s intrepid superheroes with a range of designs dedicated to 20th-century icons, including Spider-Man, Star Wars™ and Disney Pixar’s Toy Story. The Spidey-Sense rug in ink-black shades captures the daring spirit of the famous stories – with its dynamic design inspired by a comic-book panel, Spider-Man appears to leap off the rug. Made with a low-pile chenille, which is water- and stain resistant, it sums up the escapist charm of Disney Home but retains a cutting-edge feel in subtle greyscale hues that complement any space.
Minimalists will love the Infinite Heroes rug in charcoal grey and cream, which features a host of Marvel characters – including Iron Man, Black Panther, Captain America and Hulk – illustrated as fine-drawn portraits. Its artwork blends seamlessly into a contemporary interior, adding a touch of Disney magic to both neutral and colourful decor.
NEW GENERATION
Fans of the Marvel universe, rejoice because there are now stylish ways to bring its unique sense of adventure into your home. Designed in chic black, white and grey, the Marvel logo rug features an abstract pattern that will delight fans of graphics and typography as well as movie buffs. It transforms the famous logo into a series of graduated stripes, bringing a sophisticated yet fun feel to any room. Displayed in a living room, dining room or hallway, it’s a subtle way to inject character and confidence. Alternatively, for those who prefer to make a bolder statement, the hit of eye-catching colours in the comic-book-style Action Heroes wallpaper is sure to be a conversation starter.
