New textile trends emerge each year offering tempting ways to restyle or refresh our interior spaces so that our homes reflect how we feel and who we are.
Inspiration can be drawn from current events, like those we find ourselves in now, follow directional fashion trends or they can be the slow evolution of a look that’s been developing over time.
Two new collections that have fast become a Lahood favourite are Fusion and the Fusion Cocoon collection by James Dunlop.
Fusion is a beautiful range of fabrics that explores the natural nuances of form, texture and technique. It is inspired by nature with organic shapes and natural colour palette.
“All the fabrics in this collection have a natural beauty that brings balance and harmony to the home. This is a very current style direction and works well in both modern and traditional villas,” says Susan Brooke, Lahood Senior Design Consultant.
James Dunlop design states the collection’s perfection is in its imperfection, underscoring its artisanal approach to textile design grounding its authenticity and honesty.
Available in a range of linens, cotton, jute and polyester linen blends, the collection comes to life through its earthy colour palette which uses natural dyes in hues of inky blue, vibrant ochres and warm terracotta.
“It’s part of a resurgence of the global folk aesthetic that has a focus on a handcrafted look and the feel of the fabrics. Textured and tactile yarns are offset with botanical inspired patterns and traditional block printing means finished textiles ooze colour and individuality,” explains Susan.
Not dissimilar is the James Dunlop Fusion Cocoon collection featuring soft dream like textiles that evoke a calm and contemporary feel.
“As a collection it follows in the same footsteps of Fusion but really embodies the nurturing qualities of tactility and comfort. It’s all about making the home a sanctuary and has a much more feminine touch,” adds Susan. And indeed, James Dunlop say the collection was inspired by a feminine sensibility with natural linens and semi sheer fabrics that are embellished with frayed edges, fringing and needlework.
“It is an exquisite range that’s grounded with handmade craftsmanship. With muted tones and on-trend shades of warm pink and dusky purples, it’s ideal for residential and commercial interiors,” explains Susan.
