Summer is the perfect time to make the most of those special moments at home, from outdoor BBQs and longer evenings to refreshing summer showers.  With new trends on the horizon and endless inspiration to explore, bring warmth, texture and a touch of sunshine into your home this season. 

Miami Pastels: 

Introducing a gentle take on beautiful pastel hues – we’re heading overseas to Miami for a much-needed injection of colour. Soft buttery yellow, baby blues, lush lilacs and dreamy greens bring a touch of the tropics to your home this summer. Draw inspiration from Florida’s bright, picturesque buildings, or from vintage Art Deco paintings and posters. 

We love how pops of pastel hues can elevate a rug, especially with our bespoke Make Me A Rug service. With just a few simple clicks, you can design your very own, tailored to your exact measurements, preferred textures and style.

By The Seaside:

If one of your favourite summer trips is a day spent at the beach, why not bring the seaside a little closer to home? Beautiful coastal motifs, such as blue or red ticking stripes can be easily incorporated through a variety of soft furnishings and accessories. 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. 

If bold patterns aren’t quite your style, consider introducing natural textures to your interiors, often found in beach huts and coastal cottages. A wicker basket or a seagrass rug could be the finishing touch to turn your home into a seaside escape.

Beautiful Bootrooms:

With warmer days beckoning us outdoors, bootrooms are finally getting the attention they deserve. Whether you have a dedicated room or just a corner, making sure your bootroom can withstand slightly more foot traffic than normal is a great place to start. 

Runners are an easy and affordable way to refresh the space, whilst also being very practical too. A hardwearing sisal runner makes a lovely, natural addition by the door or choose a runner in our Anywhere Ca-rPET fibre. The fibre made from 100% recycled post-consumer plastic bottles is easy to clean, extremely durable and eco-conscious, a great fit for busy, multifunctional spaces.

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. Drawing inspiration from French courtyard gardens and Greek-style patios, boho gardens are 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. Don’t be afraid to mix patterns and colours to create a playful, inviting outdoor space that’s designed to be enjoyed.

In Bloom:

Elegant florals in an array of shapes and sizes add a gentle touch of heritage style to any room. Quintessentially British, these timeless patterns reflect the season, as the sun begins to shine and everything bursts into bloom, our interiors blossom too. 

Available in six colourways, our Quirky Bloom collection, designed by Kate Watson Smyth, is a beautiful range designed to uplift your home and elevate your colour palette. Whether on the stairs or in the living room, it’s a pattern that puts a fresh twist on the maximalist trend with a perfect blend of nature-inspired motifs and British wool. 

Natural Sanctuary:

Prioritising sleep and relaxation is essential in the bedroom. Although knowing what textures to incorporate can be tricky. Starting from the ground up, create a bedroom that feels calm, inviting and stylish. Natural textures underfoot, like sisal or wool, bring a sense of freshness and tactile feeling, ideal for the warmer months, keeping the bedroom cool. 

For a sumptuous feeling all year round, look for materials that are soft, breathable and durable. Sticking with a neutral tone on the carpet gives you the perfect base to layer with a playful rug for an added burst of colour and pattern, with summer-inspired hues.
