Village life

15 March 2018 

Embrace warm sunny yellow and ochre tones this season with the Village Life trend. Combining cheerful colour with a mixture of delicate floral prints and show stopping accessories, Village Life is guaranteed to put a spring in your step.

Yellow is the main focus of this trend. Deep rich velvet ochre and sunshine colour pops bring a vibrant punch of colour to the floral look. Add in hints of the country, like rustic furniture, and you get the right idea. Want to know how to recreate the style? Read on.

Sofa sumptuous

A statement sofa looks fabulous when finished in a rich hue such as this mustard velvet Hepburn design. Furniture can be a fairly big investment, so it's best to take time when choosing the right couch for you. We love the versatility that the Hepburn offers. Not only does it look great here amidst bright yellow and floral applique cushions for spring, but by swapping cushions for darker coloured ones and adding in a throw it will also look equally appropriate come winter. Match it up with an eye-catching Geo Diamond rug for extra yellow pizzazz.

Painterly bedding

There's nothing quite like fresh sheets and bedding to help spruce up the bedroom, it's a simple yet effective way to revamp the space. Choose the Village Life trend and kit out the bed with Meadow Floral painterly sheets in multi-coloured tones of yellow, pink and blue. The wild flora and fauna country scenes are too pretty not to pick.

Dine in style

Bring this lively hue to the dining room by choosing a selection of yellow accessories to adorn the tabletop. Our Spinwash dinner set is painted in mouth-watering tones of yellow and Seville orange, perfect if you're looking to revive your crockery collection. Like the pendant light? It's our Dixon easy fit pendant, quick to install and a bit of a steal at just £12.

Work from home

Setting up a calm and organised workspace is the most constructive approach to working from home, but that doesn't mean it has to be boring. By bringing a bright backdrop to the zone, such as this jolly Pasture Trees design, and choosing a rustic and altogether more casual desk like the Huxley, the area becomes a fun and comfortable place to sit and work from.

Design detail

A trend like Village Life really comes together when you consider the small details. That's why these Floral Jacquard towels are such a clever finishing touch. Depicting abstract floral motifs, they complete the colourful look.
