Soft Gold
We love this subtle gold look that offers a
matt finish and complements most interior
shades and styles. Soft gold has great visual
impact but isn’t too overwhelming making
it great for even small spaces. Introduce
soft gold lighting using pendants or a table
lamp.
Tactile Textures
Wood pendants continue to be popular
and hand-crafted beaded pendants
are also increasing in appeal. To avoid a
pendant that’s a dust collector, make sure
the material is practical.
Colour
Lighting is a great way to introduce colour
into your home. Soft pastel shades such as
eggshell, pink and mint will continue to be
popular as they offer a restrained yet stylish
look. We also predict nude shades to be a
popular deviation from traditional, neutral
colour palettes.
Layered Looks
Put The Fab In Luxe Fabrics
Cooler weather is all about rich fabrics and
textures – think faux furs and sheepskin,
velvets and chunky wools. Line your couch
with blankets and swap your bedding for
warmer textiles.
Explore Your Dark Side
Make your colour palette dark and moody
for the cooler months – think rich, earthy
tones like navy, coffee and black. Balance
those darker shades with pops of white or
soft neutrals.
Bring The Outdoors In
Bringing nature indoors is a great way to
add warmth and freshness to any room.
From a bunch of artificial flowers to fresh
cut magnolia in a white vase. Look for floral
prints and eclectic vases to layer your look.
LED
The energy efficient value of LED lighting
is also becoming more widely recognised.
What’s more, LED lighting designs are
now extremely stylish and look fantastic.
You can get LED lights in multiple
colours, brightness and shapes – even LED
chandeliers.
Our trained team of lighting specialists

the right lighting for your home. Visit us

We’ve seen the pared back look become
increasingly popular of late. Layering allows
you to draw upon that minimalist trend
and will tie together your overall look.
Keep your palette simple and use art,
cushions, rugs, throws, flowers and subtle
décor items to layer points of interest
within the space.
Tactile Textures
Adding texture to your home works both
in the cool and warmer months. Look
for natural fibres such as linen, timber
and wool and surfaces such as polished
concrete and marble.
All About Art
Art is a fantastic way to enhance your
home and best of all – suits all spaces.
Remember to allow your artwork to be the
hero in the room so keep your furniture
and colour palette simple. For an on-trend
look, mix and match your artwork shapes,
sizes and frames for a layered effect.
At James Lane, we work to bring you
world-class designer looks at affordable
prices. Our range includes furniture
pieces and accessories that focus on jute,
sisal, linen, marble, timber and polished

help create a modern interior that you’ll
love.
