sweetness & light
Give your home a vintage vibe with a modern twist
This playful look is packed to the brim with fresh, spring-like energy. It’s a trend that doesn’t take itself too seriously and creates joyful, informal spaces. If you’ve already embraced the cottagecore look in your home, this is the newest update of the trend. Key patterns to look out for are stripes, checkerboards and trellis designs. These geometric-inspired prints give structure to the soft colour scheme. Keep the palette light and warm, basing the look on plaster pink, sage green and sky blue.
