BAUHAUS INFLUENCE
After celebrating its centenary last year, and with 61,560 searches, it's clear the Bauhaus movement continues to influence modern design. It's coined a contemporary design principle that is functional and full of bright visions for the future - a sentiment we all need right now.

SCULPTED RATTAN

STRIPES ON STRIPES ON STRIPES

Green Walls
Every shade of green symbolises growth in our natural world, the connection with nature that many of us are missing right now. In our homes, it brings the outdoors inside, evoking tranquillity and peace; perhaps that is why it's one of New Zealand's most popular colours when it comes to painting. However, there is a move away from vibrant leafy greens to a more muted, olive this season.
Statement Vases
A statement vase filled with seasonal, scented flowers has the power to transform any room in minutes. Right now, it brings that much-needed joie de vivre into a home, and if you are thinking about proportions, go big bold. At the back of your cupboard, if there is a vase in a quirky shape, it should take centre stage in your home this season.
