Alysha Alli, group interior designer at Redrow , says breathing new life into your space and reinventing furnishings can be as simple as switching out wintry textiles for free-spirited decorative accessories and airy accents. “This season is all about embracing new materials, bold designs and sustainable innovations that enhance both style and functionality,” Alli says.
“Whether you’re looking to introduce eco-friendly elements, experiment with vibrant colours, or create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, these key trends will help you transform your space.” Here are her style notes to put you on the front foot..

” To bring this approach into your home, she says to opt for statement pieces that contrast beautifully with their surroundings. “Think a reclaimed wood table in a sleek modern space, or recycled metal light fixture adding edge to a cosy, rustic setting.” And while sustainably crafted pieces may come with a higher price tag, they offer “superior quality, longevity, and one-of-a-kind character that mass-produced items simply cannot match,” notes All.
