This upcoming design trend will see homes become a sanctuary. The most will be made of the unique quality of the light in the golden hours at the end of the day. The late evening sun is amplified by minimalist open spaces with simple modern furniture, reflective and tinted surfaces, and sunset colours. Halcyon Nights ensure that the home reflects and enhances serene summer nights.
An unsettled few years due to COVID-19 is leading consumers to turn their homes into a haven for recuperation, calm and contemplation. The simplicity of design is deceptive as furniture shapes are also modern and imaginative, while textures are varied and interesting with the surfaces of fur rugs and velvet upholstery to soften the look.
“Warm and harmonious colours”
This trend is inspired by the serenity provided by long calm summer evenings, so it is crucial that the textiles and colours are used to mimic the light quality of a beautiful sunset. Soft pinks, blues, yellows and golds are essential.
“Soft and varied textiles”
Textiles and furnishings must complement not contrast the soft and warm colour pallet. Soft fur rugs and velvet upholstery are important, the textiles need to be warm, inviting and crucially modern. Rounded edges create a softness, reflective surfaces help to imitate the glow from a sunset, mixed textures provided needed depth and interest to such a simplistic design.
“Soft and warm tones should radiate through the home”
