LOVE IT This look is as laid-back as they come, mixing design inspiration from all over the world. It's for the long-term, as it's a style that can evolve over the years as your collections grow.
USE IT Working well in any room of the house, this trend combines different shapes, textures and colours. It's all about putting together mismatched furniture, accessories and artwork with different (or even clashing) colour, pattern and detail, so unify the diverse themes with a neutral, one-colour backdrop.
DO IT YOUR WAY Incredibly versatile, this look can easily include things you already own to create your unique take on the trend. It's a good way to showcase items brought back from abroad, so your home tells your personal story.

KEY ELEMENTS Natural materials: This look has a slightly boho or hippy vibe, so choose beaten leather, metal, wood and wool.
Artisan aesthetic: Avoid the polished or ornate, and go for hand-crafted ceramics, woven fabrics and carved bowls.
Folk pattern: Continue the look with Moroccan tile designs, ikat textiles and kilim rugs.
Old and new: This trend is time-neutral, so mix modern pieces with mid-century or older for a ‘collector' feel.
Curated displays: It might look informal, but this look features visual ‘set pieces', grouping items for impact.
