Trend Alert: Denim

We’ve written about this trend before. And we’re bound to do it again – because denim never seems to go out of style. From handbags to home decor, from shirts to sofa covers, this durable textile remains a hot trend in our wardrobe and our homes.

The cool, laid-back appeal of denim is the perfect match to the utilitarian simplicity and unexpected beauty of the Industrial Vintage look that we like so much.

Take inspiration from boyfriend jeans with slouchy masculine seating. Structured pieces act like seams to bring the room together.

For a softer rustic style, look to dip-dyed denims, using black details and inky fabrics to emphasise depth.

Layer smart, tailored and geometric textiles upon a distressed denim style background for rough-and-ready urban style.

Add denim textile details for a fun, tactile finish. Time worn wooden furniture is the ideal partner.

Use neutral architectural accents in the same way as a classic white tee - to break up multiple blue hues.

If the cosmopolitan-inspired Urban Living design is more your thing, combine denim with different shades of black, dark brown, charcoal and granite. Then break it up with accents of subtle pattern, like classic check.
