DESERT INSPIRED
Deserts have long aroused the curiosity of artists and designers. In their size and intensity, they test the limits of the imagination, stretching endlessly between horizons
A mix of earthy hues and patterned tiles, a desert-inspired decor is a great way to add warmth and tactility to contemporary homes. It can be as pared back or embellished as you like and is one of the major trends to watch for 2020.
Tan leather furniture is a great starting point for any desert-inspired theme.
Its warm grains have a rustic elegance that echoes the rich simplicity of these arid landscapes. When it comes to lounging, look for casual silhouettes that can be paired with fluffy textiles and cowhide prints.
Artfully draped leather seats are another way to really nail this look.
Distressed finishes really help to bring the outdoors in – an oxidised coffee table brings a sense of connection to the elements, as if it’s been finished by Mother Nature herself. As well as adding texture, it will patina beautifully with time, creating a design that is utterly unique. Leather, copper and burnished brass are perhaps some of the best-known materials for achieving this look and can be found through desert-inspired decor.
Have you ever been on holiday and wished you could bring a little piece of it back with you? Ranging from terracotta to burnt orange, these vibrant desert hues promise to do just that.
An evolution of traditional boho style, it’s a palette that works well all-year-round, really coming to the fore in the cold winter months.
