Winter may not be over yet, but we’re already CRAVING the SPRING INTERIORS TRENDS that will give our HOME a REFRESH…
THE COLOURS
Global colour authority Pantone has given us a peek at the hues that will be everywhere this year (each year, Pantone sells the self-predicted shades to fabric mills, printers and other designers). It’s a simple model, and business has never been better. A versatile blue called Niagara and happy, pretty Primrose Yellow are the colours (out of ten) destined to dominate cushions, paint, summer dresses and smart accessories.

MUST-HAVE COAT
Space feeling drab? Taking its name from the distinctive colour of Italian chicory, Radicchio No96 Estate Emulsion has a bright, modern feel. Try painting your woodwork a gloss in the same shade for impact. This vibrant hue will instantly draw attention to your art. From Farrow & Ball.
HOMEGROWN TASTEMAKERS
Fresh from the collaborative project with Louis le Brocquy’s archive prints, Stable is making its first foray into the world of furniture with the help of award-winning furniture designer Simon O’Driscoll. Hot on their heels, watch out for the fruits of TextISLE, a collaborative project between designers and producers to develop new products which will be unveiled at Showcase 2017, January 22-25 at the RDS.
INSTA-WORTHY
We’ve all heard the cerulean speech in The Devil Wears Prada: the speed of fashion’s runway-to-rack process (big brands “copy” predicted runway hits and, within a couple of months, near-perfect “inspired by” designs are in store). Now, the interior world is catching up. No sooner is a colour or accessory a major hit on Instagram (the interior-lovers bible) than the trend is available to shop. A few months back, London restaurant Sketch’s interior fit-out was the Insta-hit, now you can get a bit candyfloss cool with this retro-detail blush Circus velvet pouf by Norman Copenhagen.
