Jan 2024 - Interiors Newsletter - Trending Townhouses

 

Dear Reader,

The start of a new year and the design industry is revving up – just like the fashion set, brands and designers display their wares at shows in Paris, London and Milan.

Paris is always the first and I’m off to check it out. What I can tell you is things are looking peachy (think burnished pink and apricot à la the Pantone Colour of the Year) – Martyn Lawrence Bullard has used the hue in drag queen Ru Paul’s LA hallway to great effect. But it’s not just for walls… How about a coral bath or blushing ombre’d rug? Scroll on for more trends to look out for and a host of enticing ideas to make your house sing.

Happy hunting,
