Being 'on trend' is cool, right? But do we still want to be seen as fashionable in our homes?
I find trends really fascinating, it comes down to people wanting to belong, to be part of the club! It's also a big push for retailers to try and sell us more things we didn't know we needed....
Historically fashion trends have always influenced interiors, usually by a few seasons ahead. So, I thought I'd share this season AW20 with a few key looks on the catwalk, according to Vogue, and provide you with some inspiration from the catwalk for your home.

A contemporary take on granny chic, cardigans with useful pockets, they're practical, add layers and interest, a staple we might have overlooked?

INTERIORS: WHAT TO LOOK FOR
For the equivalent in your home, look out for the humble pleated lampshade. It adds a little detail with delicate pattern, it's a quick update to any lamp base and your granny would approve.
