Artist Anne Bomio has updated her website with some brand new designs. Anne is a French designer who studied graphic art in Paris but now works from her studio in Switzerland. Her Danish origins have given Anne a love of Scandinavian style using simple stylised shapes with clean lines. Here are some examples from Anne’s portfolio, with more on Instagram, and she also has some of her designs featured on fabrics with Nerida Hansen Textiles.

Trends are so much more than ‘what’s hot right now’ – they’re a lifestyle choice. Come with us as we explore the evolution in styles and design movements that will be doing big things in 2022. 1. Bring the outdoors indoors and connect with nature Biophilic design champions the idea that it is good for us to feel connected to nature while we are indoors at work, rest and play. At an architectural level, this means making sure there is plenty of natural light and fresh air, while pieces in raw timber, concrete and stone also have a part to play, alongside loads of indoor plants, fresh flowers and foliage. Although studies have found even images featuring nature help bring a calm feeling to your space. Shop Similar: 2. Decorate with handmade beauty and artisanal pieces Make your home unique by eschewing “fast furniture” and embracing the timeless beauty of artisanal crafted or one-of-a-kind beauties. In 2022, we can expect to see people making considered investments in pieces to be treasured for a lifetime. Shop Similar: 3. Living in the 70’s – retro style for modern times If the idea of rattan everything, bold patterns, a hanging chair or a statement sofa are your idea of a good time, you’re in luck! The charming and playful retro stylings of the seventies are back. Keep it fresh by integrating a few elements in a contemporary setting: try a collection of bold cushions to get you started or introduce a few elements of rattan to bring this groovy trend home. Shop Similar: 4. Structural pieces and contoured curves Structural style furniture and curves are as hot as ever. Whether they are built-in architectural features or the soft curves of a sofa, hanging chair, or tables, these pieces continue to be prized by designers as they bring a sense of ease, tranquility and fluidity to a space, while adding a huge dose of personality and interest. Shop Similar: 5. Maximalists, Assemble! Although it may be one of the more challenging design aesthetics to pull-off successfully, maximalism is here in all its exhilarating pattern-clashing and textural mashup glory. If you’re new to maximalist style, experts suggest adding drama in small doses. Start small with breakfast nooks, powder rooms and entryways. Another clever way to incorporate a maximalist feel without ma
king a huge commitment is to step outside your comfort zone and invest in a lamp that has big maximalist energy. Did somebody say chandelier?! Shop Similar: 6. Dreamy minimalism Don’t worry, minimalists. Trends may come and go, but minimalism is eternal. When it’s done well, minimalism enhances the livability of your space – and that’s always in style! Given that the home office is here to stay, minimalism is a great style that will encourage a seamless transition from work to home. Of course, this doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with a of pop colour too! Shop Similar: 7. Checks and stripes Stripes, lines and checks are already starting to make their presence felt, but you can expect this look to hit the big time in 2022. Interior designers think this is a trend powered by our collective need to reflect some order in our homes after the upheaval of recent times. This is an easy trend to incorporate with clever use of décor: look for rugs, cushions, throws and artwork to give your space a fabulous symmetrical refresh that is both contemporary, timeless and very pleasing to the eye. The best news? This trend works in just about every style of décor and every room of the house! Shop Similar: 8. All hail the mighty tablescape If your dining table is also your home office, a spectacular tablescape is a way to signal that the workday is done and it’s time to enjoy the simple pleasures of a shared meal with family and friends. Channel laidback sophistication and easy elegance with linen napkins, candles and flowers. Shop Similar: 9. Active brights and vibrant hues Trend forecasters WGSN and colour specialists Coloro recently collaborated on a project to forecast five of the key colours we will be seeing everywhere in the coming year. The results are in and although it includes a few soothing neutrals, the list is dominated by tropical brights and saturated hues. Think colours like bright fuchsia, saturated blues, rounded out by juicy orange – although orange in all its forms from dusty peach, amber and dusty coral will be making its way into our homes and workplaces. Artwork, soft furnishings and a statement chair or sofa can be ways to experience the trend – or you could go all out and paint a feature wall – which is also due to make a comeback next year! Shop Similar: 10. Sustainable choices Of course, the theme uniting all of these trends is the idea of making a sustainable choice. Whether this means you are mindful of the kinds of materials you are introducing to your home, that you take on a “buy once, buy well” approach or you embrace a minimal style with statement features to ensure your decor has longevity, is completely up to you.

2019 Topic 11: Retro Colour Palettes Hello everyone, Keren here with a blast from the past; quite literally! One of the great things when researching new topics is learning new things. Looking into Retro colour schemes meant a decent definition of ‘retro’ was needed to be found. This descriptive term has been used since the 60’s. It tends to be used in two ways; either describing something entirely new but referencing to characteristics of a previous era’s style, or products/ colours/ styles that are more recent but seem like they’re from the past. Looking back at history, it seems that so many artists and designers have often ‘borrowed’ from the past. Because of the blurring of definitions and also as we’re looking at colours, I have included strictly retro examples and also colour schemes that are directly from different decades.Hopefully there are colour combos to inspire all of us! Lotte Kristensen is starting us off with a subtle colour scheme and using Kim Dellow stamps for PaperArtsy. As we progress through the examples, you’ll probably notice a trend of flatter, less saturated colours. In fact you’ll be forgiven for thinking we’ve added an Instagram filter over the post! This is probably the sort of image and style many of us would jump to in our minds. This gorgeous geometric design dovetails with the colours so perfectly. Mandy Reinmuth Colours can have an emotional impact and often connect with memories we associate with a time or image. This is indicative for me of the 70’s and early 80’s; reminds me of Raleigh bikes, BMX’s, party dresses and more! Alisa Galitsyna Orla Kiely is a perfect example of true retro. From the colours, the designs and styles of image, she perfectly encapsulates an era. This is one of her colour combos, but is a welcome brighter palette. Orla Kiely This artist uses a muted palette for many of their prints. Seeing the gorgeous domino colours also reminds me of another piece of art work; Eric Carle’s ‘The Hungry Caterpillar’! Budi Kwan It’s incredible that this book (which is still supremely popular) is 50 years old. The strong yet muted colours are calming yet familiar. I can imagine creating this sort of look using PaperArtsy Infusions! Design is everywhere and this clothing design is reminiscent of the Atari brand stripes. Love the gradual colour change. Red8 Designs You can see the translation of colour combination from that last example to this one with the addition of a ubiquitous ‘retro colour’; brown. The pattern here looks a whole decade or more before and it’s interesting that combinations of colours are so recognisable to a particular period of time. Mint Velvet There are so many quirky prints linked with retro and I love the fabric design and brighter colours here. Parisbebe Fashion is a great place to scout out combinations. You can imagine 1000’s of people looking exactly like this woman. It’s a slight shift in the colours we’ve featured so far. Buzzfeed As the trends changed over time, so did the colours. This modern print encapsulates the retro look perfectly. Ben Lalisan Home decor styles have always changed with time, and this colour palette and image could easily have been in vogue in the past. The style of lampshade and even the sideboard are reminiscent but with a slight modern twist. If you follow the link, there are a whole bunch of inspiring retro schemes. Trend4homy Mustard tones (or Spiced Honey) fits in well with many retro colour schemes. Fresco Finish Mustard Pickle has all the right retro tones and would go perfectly with Fresco Finish Pine Grove, Mulled Wine, Mahogany, Mermaid and so many more! The retro look below plays with shapes, fabrics, pattern images and so much more! Original Style Pippa Shaw is a contemporary designer, whose designs have the perfect retro feel; current in look yet with a distinct previous era’s stamp on them. Pippa Shaw Leandra reminded of one very retro feeling colour scheme; Avocado. We had a bathroom suite in that colour when we moved into our current house. You might be surprised to find that it’s making a (partial) comeback. Could this be the ultimate retro scheme?! Rotator Rod We’ll finish the romp through retro with an example that screams retro, with perhaps a little adorable kitsch thrown in for good measure! OMM Design Hopefully the variety of schemes we’ve showcased have got you thinking about a set of colours that might call your name! You’re going to love the projects we have coming up for this topic. We are not doing the linked challenge for 2019, so if you want to create along with us and this topic, please share on our social feeds so we can see what you get up to.
