Trad to the Max • The new take on classic English, French and American traditional decorating is a mishmash of familiar elements. It’s all the things your granny may have loved, but used in a different way. Think tartan, seagrass matting, vintage carpets, chintz, leather, pleated shades and overstuffed sofas. The palette is muted with graphic hits of black, lots of pattern on walls and drapes, and modern art. This confident mix says “decorating is back” — loud and clear.

QUIET COUNTRY • Tired of Modern Farmhouse? Then you’ll like this refreshing, pared-down take on country style. The furniture is clean-lined and simple. Fabrics are neutral and mostly without pattern. Floors are often bare and accessories are handmade and artisanal, such as pottery, forged iron or mouth-blown glass. The backdrop is quiet so the craftsmanship of new Shaker-inspired cabinets can shine.

DECORATED MODERNISM • Form follows function was the mantra of the modernist movement, which favoured minimalism over ornamentation. Almost a century later, the clean lines and white-box aesthetic is still preferred by many, but with the addition of bold colour, lavish pattern and a playful use of materials. If homes are an extension of our personal style, this trend leaves lots of room for self-expression.

WHAT’S HOT NOW • The decorating elements shaking up the status quo.
