A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON SPRING TRENDS 21/22

gingham green spring trends

It has long been understood that the fashion and design industries come hand in hand. Often, one will inspire the other, and many design houses – Fendi, Hermes, Armani, Missoni (just to name a few) – have their own homeware collections. The interiors market has also seen a boom in collaborations with the fashion industry over the past few years: take the Dolce and Gabbana hand painted fridge for Smeg, or Obeetee’s rugs jazzed up by Matthew Williamson.

For our spring trends article this year, we have decided to look beyond the interiors world and find the answers from the Spring/Summer 2022 fashion trends. You will see these trends begin to filtrate into the high street homeware stores next year, so start now to get ahead of the curve and be a trendsetter…

Neons

A “I love it or hate it” shade, neons have been dividing opinions for years. Should they remain on the packaging of a highlighter pen, or do they spring an outfit to new levels? That one is up to you… But bringing neon into an interior may not be as scary. Match drama with drama, and the overall impact is diffused – so use neon in the spaces which are loud and impactful already, that way the neon will not be taking centre stage.

Textural overload

This is a style that we may argue was originally inspired by the world of interior design, but the ‘overload’ part is certainly a new feature which has got us excited! Maximalism has always had a strong foothold in interiors, but that largely focuses on the play with patterns and ornaments, so textural overload is a great one to adopt for those who are pattern avert, but prefer a little more drama than the typical minimalist sleekness.

Orchid Pink

Forecasting agency WGSN’s key colour for 2022, Orchid Flower (code 150-38-31) dominated the runways in all four cities during fashion month. They expect it to be a key colour in fashion, beauty, on socials and in interiors, stating: ‘Within the home, add rich texture and apply it as an accent to create a luxurious mood’. Proenza Schouler’s elegant dress from New York Fashion Week with pleats and buttons show how well the pink sits aside different textures.

Gingham

Gingham has always been a staple in fashion, but has not quite had the same foothold in homewares. Navigating this pattern within the home needs to be done delicately to avoid the it feeling dated and mismatched, and perhaps the easiest way to do this is layer on the pattern! Introduce more check in a different scale and shade, or pair with other tricky patterns like damask to create a kitsch yet homely look.
