Finally, we congratulated two members of our staff—Mary and Wayne—who have been with us at Sweetpea and Willow for 15 years. We are so grateful for all your years of service, thank you.
Looking towards the future, we often get asked by our customers what the latest trends are for their homes, and we thought it would be nice to highlight our favourite upcoming trends. You will see these reflected in our new arrivals, so do check them out as they change weekly.
Here are some of the latest trend predictions…
Sustainability: Investing in Timeless Pieces
Thankfully, people are starting to prioritize not spending on fast, disposable furniture that often ends up as landfill. Invest in a timeless bed or sofa that you will love for years to come. For well-made pieces made from lasting materials, if trends change or the fabric wears, it’s easy and cost-effective to repair or reupholster.
Natural Materials
Natural shades and shapes are effortlessly timeless (travertine and marble especially!) I believe this stems from the shift toward sustainability. People love things that feel like they have been derived from nature and will last the ages. Silk, natural stone and wood—soft whispering shapes and gorgeous curves—are abundant in our new collections.
Warm Woods
It was all about white-washed woods for a couple of years, but we are seeing richer, darker woods make their way back in. Avoid shiny mahogany and varnishes: a natural finish is what it’s all about.
Statement Lighting
With all the neutrals and understated glamour, people are prioritising statement lighting, but with no bling involved. Again, opting for natural stone, glass and unusual shapes fits harmoniously with the trend of neutral interiors.
A Pop of Colour
Neutral isn’t for everyone so if you are a fan of colour, we are seeing the warmer tones of rust and rhubarb trending.
Thank you for joining us on our journey to Love The Way You Live.
