The Milan Furniture Show is the place to go to catch up on the trends that are about to hit your home; it’s where designers’ names are made and big business is done – and last month’s show was no different.

Key trends emerged including adding quirkiness and individuality through standout pieces, introducing retro elegance (as illustrated by the 1930s Hollywood inspired Armani Casa’s collection) and the increased use of precious metals, with gold and silver extremely popular.
Colour was certainly a stand out this year, with bold and bright colours from tangerine to teal, aubergine to green used across the board - and they looked fantastic. Memorable pieces included Edra’s vibrant storage unit, which displayed the use of the colour spectrum at it’s best; some amazing bold seating presented by Modus; and the Established & Sons Stack drawers, which were the talk of the show.
Whilst we may not all be able to afford the latest designer pieces in our own homes, we can certainly build on their inspiration. Colour is easy to introduce into the home, and if you’re keeping green try bamboo – it’s a great sustainable material and can be lacquered in an array of bold and bright colours.
