The art-led trends and statement pieces that will help you craft a more inspired space.
Discover the art-inspired pieces you need to know in order to create more expressive surroundings, featuring the latest must-have pieces from David Jones’ stable of brands – many of which you won’t find at any other department store. Because much like a great piece of art on your wall, the homewares you use every day have the power to inspire and make any space your always happy place. Here’s how the artistic principles of colour, shape and texture can help transform your home.
Colour therapy
This season tableware goes primary-hued, the bedroom is awash with colour, plus it’s time to rethink kitchen staples in every shade of the rainbow. Whether you choose a tonal palette or contrasting brights, the memo is to go bold.
Whether a minimalist statement or filled with seasonal delights, bright, sculptural pieces bring joy to the countertop. Dinosaur Designs and Maison Balzac do them best.
For the most complementary hue in the kitchen, opt for fresh bluish-grey appliances. Then, bring the serenity of nature into your sanctuary with soothing shade of green.
The shape of things
Never underestimate the power of bold lines and curves in bringing beauty and balance to a space. This season, everyday items become elevated with statement shapes and interesting takes on balance. From smart speakers to the sleekest kitchen essentials, these playful shapes reign supreme.
Background music may be essential to any good dinner party, but these premium speakers are simply too chic to be hidden from view. Those from Devialet, Bowers & Wilkins and Bang & Olufsen are some of the smartest around.
Copper appliances, in rounded shapes for extra shine, are making a major comeback this season – while the Plissè Toaster by Alessi is the newest addition to the Plissè family of structural and elegant designs for the kitchen.
Texture play
This season, create a heightened sense of interest in your space by layering up pieces in unexpected finishes. Combine tactile fabrics with pieces that play with lines and layers, then top with textural pieces from Villeroy & Boch, Dinosaur Designs, Marrimekko and Ecology, to elevate even the most quotidian of moments.
