Introducing our top five trends

1. Bold stripes

Stripes aren’t going anywhere in 2025. This time they’re back with bold and brave colour combinations. The beauty of this trend is that it’s so easy to incorporate into your home or wardrobe – even if you’re colour-shy. The key is picking a statement piece to inject some fun into your day-to-day life. This could be one of these gorgeous cordless lamps from Love Frankie Ltd, a playful circus tent canopy for your little one’s bedroom or a mood-boosting scarf to brighten up those grey days.

2. Fruit Harvest

The supermarket’s probably not where you’d expect to find inspiration but this trend has come straight from the fruit aisle. Think playful homeware and whimsical accessories that will put a smile on your face. We love these hand-blown blackberry earrings from Picnic Blanket Jewellery that look *just* like the real thing.

3. Über-femme

Bridgerton fans, assemble. Meet the trend you’re destined to fall head over heels for. This ‘all frills, no chill’ collection is all about embracing your romantic side with a nod to the Regency era. Go for a modern, maximalist take on pearls with this beautifully embellished bag from Rianna Phillips. Or, add a touch of elegance to your home with this dreamy swan butter dish.

4. Folklore

Folklore celebrates storytelling – whether it’s through intricate folk embroidery, artisan craftsmanship or patchwork. Look for nature-inspired details like the ones on this hand-painted ring, decorated with pearls and four-leaf clovers to bring good luck. Instead of fast fashion, choose one-of-a-kind pieces that you won’t find anywhere else. Take these handmade kids’ quilt trousers that not only look great but are durable enough for playtime, too.

5. Earthy hues

If you secretly wish it was the 70s, then you’ll love this throwback trend that’s all about earthy, terracotta tones. These grounding shades are perfect for warming up your home or wardrobe, whether it’s a transitional teddy-style gilet to see you through to spring, a snack bowl crafted by artisans or a pair of the cosiest moccasin slippers from small brand, FOLKIT.
