With Spring approaching, ’tis the season for home improvement… and boy are we gonna embrace it! As soon as we get a glimmer of sunshine – we’ll be replacing old wallpaper, fitting fresh new blinds and treating our beds to summery linen! Caaaan’t wait!

At Next, our Home collections are inspired by ethnic influences this summer. Indonesian handicrafts feature throughout with embossed lanterns and imprinted vessels. It’s like a permanent vacation in Bali… sort of. We’re loving the laidback feel of things though… the natural textures and laundered fabrics are perfect for the season ahead. But luxury is never far away and metallic embellishments give the collections a bit of an edge!

Another favourite of ours is the ‘Promenade‘ collection – which, as the name suggests is all about the seaside! Shades of fresh blues and chalky greys are complimented with soft stripes and checks – while conversational prints inject a bit of quirkiness into the range!

Green remains a key colour for summer and we’re loving the botanical themes with leafy photographic designs and citrus fruit prints!
