September 2020 Home Furnishings Trends

As the world begins to open up again, shops are opening again and people are getting back into their normal lives, part of this is that people are getting back to their normal routine. After months of staring at the same 4 walls around the house, lots of people are starting to hop onto the DIY train and are revamping their home.

Because of this massive wave of DIY redecoration happening we’ve seen some awesome interior décor trends crop up over the past few weeks, so today we’ll be looking at some of the home furnishings that’re taking the country by storm and letting you know how you can bring them into the fold in your home as well.

Double Layered Blinds

So what are double layered blinds? Well, the name sort of says all you need to know, double layered blinds are simply a set of blinds which has 2 independent roller blinds attached, consisting of one blackout blinds which will completely block out incoming light and a dimout blind which will cover the window but still let some light in.

People like these because they’re multipurpose, during the day you can have the dimout blind to keep a room light and swap over to the blackout at night to make your room darker and better to sleep in. So double roller blinds are stylish and functional, as there are 2 blinds you can either colour match them or pair complementary colours to add to the look of a room.

Colourful Scatter Cushions

Another furnishing that has cropped up recently is the emergence of scatter cushions, these are just small cushions/pillows with a decorative pattern on their fabric that look amazing simply being placed around a room or across a sofa/bed. With many different varieties available and even custom scatter cushions on the market, it’s rather easy to get a set of cushions that play well into your interior design and add a splash of colour to a room.

Not only do they look amazing when placed around a room, they’re also quite comfy and can be placed in different places for different reasons. If you want a nap on the sofa, simply use one as a pillow; if you’d like a headrest whilst sitting you can prop one up behind you. There are various ways to use these and they’re all good!

Wicker Coffee Tables

Wicker material has long been relegated to use on garden furniture, but now wicker is having a resurgence, especially in coffee tables due to the lightweight and inexpensive nature of the wicker material, interior designer Nicole Fuller recently told Elle Décor that wicker will be making a resurgence.

The reason behind the comeback of wicker material is apparently due to the nostalgia that wicker can bring, lots of us spent our childhood summers sitting on wicker chairs in the Sun, so there’s an element of nostalgia. There has also been an evolution in wicker making techniques which allow the chairs to perfectly create a modern traditional style.
