\"Home<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019ve just moved house or your four walls are in need of a make-over, it can be tricky to know where to start when it comes to interior design<\/a>. From tableware and plush rugs to artwork or all-important lighting, getting the right set-up in your home is a fine balance. <\/p>\n

Much like the latest catwalk trends can help steer your wardrobe, designs from the biggest studios, designers and brands can inspire your interiors. From lighting and materials to colour palettes and tiling, luxury interiors trends soon trickle down onto the high street, as they do in the fashion world. <\/p>\n

Zara is a go-to for expensive-looking designs that lean into minimalism and mid-century. Elsewhere, John Lewis\u2019 collaborations with Collagerie and Sanderson offer an affordable way to shop luxury, while H&M and M&S\u2019s homeware combines bargain prices with covetable designs, from Le Creuset alternatives<\/a> to Alice Palmer-inspired cushions.<\/p>\n

But if you really want to know where to look, turn to industry-insiders. While they might shop from luxury designers for hospitality or residential projects, interior designers know a good find on the high street when they see one, be it a particularly good table lamp<\/a> or a statement vase. <\/p>\n

The key to adding some good design into your home isn\u2019t a complete overhaul, but a series of considered choices. \u201cIt doesn’t have to be a full-blown redecoration but rather integrating small decorative pieces on top of existing furniture,\u201d Rosie Gangar, founder and interior designer, says. \u201cTry adding a new vase on top of an existing sideboard or swapping your lampshade for something more daring.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, to help inject some of the latest interior trends into your home, I asked three designers what they\u2019re forecasting for this season \u2013 and the affordable homeware from the high street to shop now. <\/p>\n

Meet the experts \"IndustryIndustry insiders know a good find on the high street when they see one (Andreas Christodoulou\/Tabitha Organ\/Rosie Gangar)<\/p>\n

Andreas Christodoulou <\/a>is the founder of House of Dre<\/a>, a Hackney-based design studio behind the interiors at the Kensington hotel, Ember Locke, and the upcoming East Sussex retreat, Crafted at Powdermills. <\/p>\n

Rosie Gangar <\/a>boasts nearly a decade\u2019s experience in the industry. Having worked in some of the industry\u2019s biggest studios \u2013 including David Collins \u2013 she has founded her own studio, GANGAR<\/a>, working on large-scale residential projects in some of London\u2019s most-coveted postcodes. <\/p>\n

Tabitha Organ<\/a> is the founder of a boutique interior design studio, Tabitha Isobel. Working on residential, hospitality, retail and workplace projects across the UK, she\u2019s designed spaces from Carl Friedrik\u2019s Regent Street store to Islington townhouses.<\/p>\n

Colour palettes <\/p>\n

\u201cThere is often overlap between the fashion and interiors industry, like the reemergence of chocolate and earthy browns,\u201d Gangar says. \u201cPantone\u2019s colour of the year for 2025 was Mocha Mousse but as we head deeper into this autumn\/winter, these tones are becoming richer and more sumptuous.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are seeing much more earthy, richer and \u2018grounder\u2019 colour palettes consisting of browns, olives, rusts,\u201d Organ elaborates. \u201cThese aren\u2019t just being used as accent colours but with much more confidence within joinery, fabrics and surfaces.\u201d <\/p>\n

The key to incorporating a deep chocolate brown into your home is complementing it with the right colour palette. Try a \u201cbright, sugary aquamarine or a lemon yellow \u2013 the kind seen at Louis Vuitton’s Objets Nomades Collection, which launched at Milan Design Week earlier this year,\u201d Gangar says. \u201cIt feels fresh and unexpected but with just a hint nostalgia.\u201d <\/p>\n

Christodoulou adds that \u201chigh-gloss finishes are back, but only in rich, saturated tones.\u201d<\/p>\n

Modern folk <\/p>\n

\u201cModern Folk is the design style I\u2019m most excited about right now,\u201d Christodoulou says. \u201cIt feels cosy yet elevated.\u201d A particularly good design choice for older homes with existing character, Christodoulou says it\u2019s surprisingly easy to achieve. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe look is defined by an earthy palette, a healthy dose of mid-century influence, and an eclectic mix of curiosities,\u201d Christodoulou explains. \u201cDone right, it feels like heritage: as if a space has been lovingly curated over time, with each piece carefully chosen from across the decades \u2013 think the best of the past two hundred years brought together under one roof.\u201d <\/p>\n

Patchworks <\/p>\n

\u201cPatchwork seems to be appearing across many applications from rugs, to mirrors, to ceramics and within timber,\u201d Organ says. \u201cIt adds a striking graphic quality whilst also being quite playful.\u201d <\/p>\n

Christodoulou looks to patchwork quilts to \u201cbring warmth and softness to a room \u2013 it\u2019s just as happy on the bed as it is dragged downstairs for a sofa duvet day.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThis quilt has that handmade feel that makes it perfect for the colder seasons,\u201d Christodoulou says. \u201cIt\u2019s just as happy on the bed as it is dragged downstairs for a sofa duvet day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Craftsmanship <\/p>\n

This season, traditional craftsmanship is firmly on the moodboard. As Gangar explains, \u201cwith most of us living such digitised lives, we’re seeing a revival of traditional craftsmanship, be it hand-painted ceramics, hand-turned woodwork, hand-blown glass or hand-dyed or hand-woven textiles, like Loewe\u2019s cult teapots<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lighting <\/p>\n

Creating the perfect ambience, any design-nut will agree that lighting is of paramount importance in any home. This season, \u201cthe application of lighting is being pushed further and we are seeing an increasing move away from purely functional lighting, but lighting in sculptural and statement forms,\u201d Organ says. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lighting revolution happening, and it\u2019s all about softer, lower-level illumination\u201d Christodoulou says. \u201cSwap out harsh ceiling spots for small but impactful lamps like the Habitat x Morris & Co below \u2013 with a hint of deco and a warm amber glow, it\u2019s affordable and mood transforming.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"HabitatHabitat x Morris & Co glass shade lamp<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a hint of deco and awarm amber glow,\u201d Christodoulou describes this lamp \u201cas affordable and mood transforming.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"ZaraZara ceramic lamp <\/p>\n

Organ recommends this uniquely sculptural lamp from Zara Home, which adds instant intrigue to the corner of a room \u2013 and an ambient warm glow. <\/p>\n

Chrome and silvers <\/p>\n

With Christmas just around the corner, chromes and silvers are part and parcel of tablescaping season. \u201cChrome and silver are the metals of the moment,\u201d Christodoulou says. \u201cThey bring a subtle modernist edge while reflecting the tones of their surroundings.\u201d <\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s \u201cpart vintage\/part contemporary\u201d pieces like the Oliver Bonas x Shrimps\u2019 sculptural daffodil holders or H&M\u2019s set of glossy snack bowls that \u201cnod to old school cinema glamour\u201d, the trend is rooted in mid-century influences. <\/p>\n

\"OliverOliver Bonas x Shrimps large daffodil candle holder <\/p>\n

\u201cThese sculptural daffodil holders have real presence\u201d, Christodoulou says. \u201cThey work beautifully with simple beeswax candles, but you can also play with tonal shades for a bolder dinner party statement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"H&MH&M stainless steel serving bowl <\/p>\n

A top pick from Christodoulou, H&M\u2019s silver serving bowls are ideal for hosting. \u201cThis set of glossy snack bowls feels like a nod to old school cinema glamour, the perfect upgrade for your box set nights in.\u201d<\/p>\n
