A CELEBRATION OF SPRING
Retro re-engineered furniture twinned with bold patterns and artisan fabrics make an adventurous statement, advises interiors expert Holly Tyne
The new season has ushered in a vibrant and adventurous new approach to interiors at the Emporium in Clitheroe.
While the ground floor features an ever-changing collection of beautiful furniture and accessories, the upper bar and restaurant introduce visitors to the concept of ‘dining in retail’.
While Holly Tyne and the team at Emporium Interiors can offer their expert advice on how to put together the perfect living space, every floor of the Emporium gives visitors the opportunity to see what works on a practical and aesthetic level.
From the artwork on the walls to the dining tables and accessories, the Emporium demonstrates how different styles work perfectly together – and everything can be bought!
This season, it’s all about making bold statements with striking patterns and rich textures that reflect the vivid palette of spring in all its glory.
Rustic, artisan, upcycled and re-engineered are the watchwords for furniture and focal pieces, with elegant art deco and opulent, expressive design very much on trend. Teal and copper are the must-have colours – the more confident the better.
The good news is that this approach can be overlaid on a more muted palette or introduced to a neutral backdrop without going right back to fundamentals.
So a soft grey or pastel living room can be transformed with the introduction of a bold feature wall featuring antique print paper and some carefully chosen artisanal furniture.
This confident approach is a brilliant way to reboot the kitchen, where a vibrant teal feature wall, some polished copper cookware and a distressed butcher’s block can radically reinvent the more restrained approach of the last few years.
Or for a more laid-back approach that works well in a bedroom, embrace the natural rustic Scandinavian style that always feels so homely. Soft natural palettes of pebble, sandstone and cream set off with a few geometric accessories delivers a totally on trend look.
With new lines arriving daily, the displays at Emporium Interiors have been remodelled to showcase the new season’s key trends, colours and moods. Pop in to browse the spring collections or discuss specific ideas and bespoke design services.
