WOVEN LIGHT FITTINGS
One of the reactions to today’s
technology-driven lifestyle is a penchant
for natural, organic materials and light
fittings are no exception. Made from
bamboo, reeds and raffia, in designs
ranging from simple woven bases to
showstopping pendants, they add a
touch of the tropics. Install one of these
oversized pendants from SHF above a
dining table as a conversation piece.
MELLOW HUES
Popular hues tend towards dusty pinks,
mustard yellows and earthy terracottas – all
beautifully complemented by gold and brass.
“Yellow is definitely the colour of the moment,”
says Garth Wastie, brand ambassador for Home
Fabrics. “But we’re also seeing loads of hunter
green and bold shades of teal.”

Reminiscent of luxury Palm
Springs resorts, this trend in
furniture has a sophisticated
elegance and is a reminder of
60’s glamour. French pole patio

This season, timber has taken on a natural,
smoky look. “The grey finish cools down
the warmth of the wood grain making it
ideal for all types of decor schemes,” says
Justin Vickers of JVB Furniture Collection.
