Decor desires: Three gorgeous new interiors trends to try in 2018

To make it easy, we've identified three key new spring/summer trends - Artisan, Natural and Luxe - that you can shop on the high street. So not only will these looks all add 'va-va-room' to your home, but they won't break the bank, as these top finds show...

1. Get a weave on

Be inspired by creativity and craftsmanship sourced from around the world and take your home into a new decor destination with an 'artisan' theme.

"I love those little variations that make artisan textiles and ceramics unique - that's why this trend has such staying power," predicts Jakki Pay, home design director at House of Fraser. "We've sourced a patchwork of techniques, from mark-making to hand-stitching and tactile fringing. It's our very own celebration of global craftsmanship, so expect natural materials, tribal prints and plenty of earthy, sun-dried colour."

"When creating this interior style, don't be afraid to be bold," advises Claire Hornby, creative stylist, Barker & Stonehouse. "Opting to layer rugs in stripes and patchwork patterns across your living or bedroom space is a simple and guaranteed way to create interest from the ground up. This adventurous streak can make its way to your sofa - select scatter cushions in contrasting fabrics, designs and hues, which can really work if you stick to complementary earthy colours. Celebrate wanderlust by proudly displaying your collected art and accessories, to remind yourself there's a whole brilliant world out there."

2. Take a leaf out of nature

Mirror the elegance of the natural world and its palette - the 'natural' trend is all about organic structures and tactile finishes.

"Way back in 1984, Dr Edward Wilson termed 'biophilia' as the 'innate sense of belonging to the natural world'. Now, 34 years on, this sense of belonging will be entering our homes, with wallpapers, window blinds and other decor. This trend is also about nurturing the planet and sustainability," says Alex Whitecroft, head of design at I Want Wallpaper. "Some key looks will be living walls, plant/tree bark designs, vegetation and the creation of tech-free spaces, because this look is all about immersing oneself in nature. That means an abundance of greenery and vegetation, whether real or faux. It's about promoting a sense of wellbeing through our obsession with the natural world."

"People are asking more of their homes. Scandinavian-style simplicity is still strong, but it will be joined by a desire for understated opulence, with rich velvets, brass accents (replacing last year's copper) and different stone finishes," says Cornelia de Ruiter, CEO and co-founder of Homewings.

"Marble, velvet and mid-century pieces are adding a touch of luxury and smaller accent pieces, like pouffes and ottomans in rich shades, are helping to add colour to homes."

3. Layer on the luxe

Counterbalance the rapid advances of technology with luxury items and a subtle colour palette that projects elegant timelessness; a core essence of the 'luxe' trend.

"To some extent, all trends draw their influence from the past, and this look celebrates history and heritage. There's a sense of 'looking backwards to go forwards', which translates as a fusion of retro and modern influences," says Lorna McAleer from Style Studio. "Colours are classic and modest - for example, mix burgundy and warm brown colourways with mellow neutrals. Team items with sleek, modern blinds to stop a scheme appearing stuffy."

"To maintain the more minimalist and pared-back styling, try not to overload your look," says Claire Hornby. "Opt for a base palette of neutral and natural tones to help elevate the opulence of metallic accents. Consider placing perfectly formed, geometric objects next to natural free-formed elements, such as wood or crystals, for a wonderfully eclectic effect." Alternatively, make it tropical and lush with exotic detailing such as palm prints; Biba at House of Fraser has some great pieces.
