Batik is Back

This trend brings back memories. In the 70s, psychedelic batik patterns were popular with dropouts and hippies, who wanted to express their need for freedom and individuality. They did this with the colored patterns created by this tie-dye method that is left up to chance. Nowadays, this retro fashion style has conquered the living area as well. This simple dyeing technique can transform textiles such as tablecloths, cushion covers, and curtains into cool unique pieces. »

Pretty Poufs

In its present form, the so-called pouf established itself around the 18th century. The name comes from the French and describes a comfortable foot or seat cushion. Usually, it has very short, or no legs at all, and is softly padded. It is available in various materials such as fabric, leather, or even knit. This stylish living element fits into every room and every style, whether you use it for putting your feet up, as a seat, or as a shelf. »

Dark Coolness

Dark, cooler-looking shades have taken the lead in the color scheme this year. You can skilfully give your rooms a simple elegance when using them. Blue and green tones have a calming, noble, and confident effect. Coordinated in different nuances, they create a stylish, exquisite, yet homey ambiance. Dark brown tones are often combined with them, and grey and black are also a perfect match. »
