There was so much to see at the show that it was almost impossible to cover in one day, let alone one blog post. So this second post focuses more on furniture and objects.
There were distinct themes and trends coming through. My favourite was the natural, scandi-influenced furntiure and styling, using natural palettes, fabrics and textures.
This table was a stand-out piece for me. It reminded me of long-lazy summer lunches and made me wish for a mediterranean terrace to set like this. The picture probably doesn’t do it justice, but it really was wonderful. I could imagine an outdoor wedding or birthday party full of friends and family around this table.
There were lots of dusky pinks and slate colours, and light blues as accents.
There was also some quirky stuff, which, in small doses in the right place could look quite cool. This bird and the weird wooden lamps were fun.
This is literally a drop in the ocean on the items on display and the beautiful roomsets to view. You could easily spend a couple of days taking in the vastness of the show and spending time talking to the designers, but all too soon our whirlwind tour was over! I think we covered about 5 miles in the exhibition centre alone, so if you do go next year, wear comfy shoes!
