textural art

“There’s a trend in art that moves away from

static-framed pieces and towards bringing

art into the home with different materials.

Throws are becoming the new affordable

canvas. They’re really woven artworks that

work practically at the end of a bed or sofa,

but can also be hung on the wall as a softer,

more tactile feature – such as the Slowdown

Studio ‘Clifton’ throw, $299, by Jonathan

Niclaus from Koskela, in this room (below).

And the size helps to bring large-scale art

into the house without the price tag.”

open shelving

“One trend we see gaining momentum for

kitchen design in 2019 is using contemporary

open-frame shelving to create a cafe-style

feel. Our new ‘2020 Alumin’ matt black

frames (above) with glass shelving are the

perfect pairing for other on-trend black

elements and also lends the opportunity to

style decor – which is a great way to connect

your open-plan living spaces to one another.”
