SEASONAL LIVING; DECORATION
AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF INTERIOR DESIGN

Home living is close to our hearts. As an expression of personality, the home no longer
paints a rigid picture but is becoming a continuous process instead. Changes in interior design
aren’t just influenced by trends, though; they’re directly affected by what’s happening
in the nature surrounding us and the rhythm of the seasons, as well as our cultural customs.

TRADITION AS A LIFESTYLE

It’s becoming increasingly common for the colourways and motifs of interior trends to reflect seasonal changes in nature. Obviously, seasonal decoration is nothing new. Although the form may vary slightly, every year tableware, candles, flowers and Halloween pumpkins return to our homes as the seasons come and go. But for a growing number of people, this tradition is becoming a lifestyle – irrespective of their stylistic preference, whether that’s Scandi Chic or New Glam, Natural Luxury Page or Wabi-sabi, a liking for marble or a fondness for terrazzo.

EMBRACE THE DECORATIVE

The For Seasons trend is based on a willingness to embrace the decorative without being hampered by taboos. The interior design sector is taking decorating seriously again, and even in minimalist interiors, using seasonal accessories to create a strong, perfectly placed accent is no longer considered a stylistic sin. Because decoration has become an integral part of interior design.

FURNITURE AS A CANVAS FOR CHANGING STYLES;
TURNING THE HOME INTO A HOBBY

STRIKING THE RIGHT BALANCE

When it comes to buying furniture, people who make a hobby out of their home are more likely to consider how well the furnishings can serve as a backdrop for changing styles. Striking the right balance is important here: furniture should be neither too extravagant nor too boring. Ideally, the colour scheme should be relatively neutral, and the design strong but understated. Anything that doesn’t fit in is adapted as necessary. A new coat of paint, different buttons or a repurposing hack – the For Seasons trend has no inhibitions.

A CONSTANT CHANGING COLLAGE

Sofas become surfaces for displaying cushions and blankets, dressers and sideboards are used for showing off lamps, decorative items and finds from the great outdoors, and even a corner of the oversized dining table is permanently reserved for decorative touches. Glass-fronted units are extremely popular again too – even in the bathroom. Cabinets are dotted with open compartments and coffee tables are used to showcase accessories. And they’re being joined by consoles, side tables and cube shelves whose sole purpose is to provide a stage for attractive arrangements. Décor is becoming a collage that changes constantly in keeping with the seasons and our perception of nature.
