The Where Saints Go S/S Edit 2023

The new season is here, which means you"ve hopefully got your windows flung wide, that the sunlight is hitting all of those stunning angles just right and that you are - quite literally - full of the joys of spring. As we usher in longer days and warmer temperatures with very open arms, you might also be considering an interior refresh to reflect the changing weather - or simply be on the hunt for the perfect pieces to tie your chosen theme together. Fear not, Sanity shoppers. We"ve rounded up our joyful Spring Shopping Edit, and made a few predictions as to what interior trends are going to remain hot topics into the summer season. Explore the guide for yourself below. The eclectic, uplifting beach bungalow It goes without saying that spring and summer are times of sunlight, warmth and optimism - so they deserve a colour palette to match. Our heavenly visions of an eclectic, uplifting beach bungalow look as though Frida Kahlo found herself in a quaint coastal cottage. If you're not picturing it already - think vibrant, Mexican colours meet vintage accent pieces in all-out, eclectic, exotic abandon. This space feels welcoming and vibrant, with art pieces lining the walls and bold colours readily available in the form of throws, cushions, rich jewel-toned paint and vivid, patterned wallpaper. For those not quite brave enough to wield a paintbrush at their walls, this look is easily achieved through statement interior accessories which can simply adorn your more understated pieces. Looking to boldly go into the realm of exotic, eclectic colour? A great place to start is this divine Savuti Wallpaper by Cole & amp; Son, which will provide a stunning backdrop for our Wishbone-Inspired Olson Dining Chair in the dining area, the vibrant pink velvet Tapas Bar Stool in the kitchen or some form of statement seating in the lounge. In terms of accessories, you can effortlessly infuse your home with this aesthetic by styling the David Bust in orange flock velvet atop the Tuku Round Table which can pose as a boho bamboo drinks trolley, or by hanging the Sumba Seagrass Lampshade from your ceiling, or the Sugarbushes Wall Art Set from your wall The pared-back paradise While some of us undoubtedly enamour the maximalist, eclectic trend of the beach bungalow, others no doubt pine for a space of straightforward simplicity. Cue the pared-back paradise. In essence, this interior style comprises three vital components - a restrictive, neutral colour palette, natural materials and revolving the design of a space around how the natural light hits it. Think chic Parisian apartment meets a luxuriously zen spa, a la the serene spaces curated by one of House & amp; Garden's Rising Stars, Angus Reid. This is a largely Japandi-style aesthetic, but with the added imperfections of lime-plastered walls and the occasional antique accessory. For this trend, it's essential that your furniture pieces do all the talking, which is why choosing them carefully is pivotal. This minimalist trend keeps clutter to an absolute minimum, which is why it's really all about accent pieces such as the Adagio Chair, Sazs Chair and Captains Chair. Introduce subtle texture with a boule piece or carved wooden elements like our Siggy Side Table and style surfaces sparingly with rustic accessories such as the Pandora Vase filled with Black Eucalyptus Stems. The womb room it's no secret that we all craved comfort during the pandemic, and actively sought this out by bringing warming neutrals and soft fabrics back into the interiors arena. Three years on and this remains a key theme throughout both private and commercial projects. Think feminine shapes and ambient palettes - silken shades of oyster, salmon, beige and brown coming together to evoke a deep sense of calm, reassurance and relaxation. In conversation with British Vogue, designers Kathryn M Ireland and Jake Arnold predict that "romantic mauves" and earthy tones will continue to dominate the design realm. Soft, welcoming and soothing, the trend is all about warm tones and gentle texture such as the Rust boucle of our Lorenzo Accent Chair, the delicious speckles of the Artichoke Yellow-Brown Candle Holder and the softened shapes of the Halas Dining Chair. For a complete look, we"d style the living room with this Stunning Antique Gold Damask Wallpaper from Cole & amp; Son, adding the Helios Nesting Tables in Golden Bronze topped with a Rustic Pillar Candle in Walnut and our Burgundy Eucalyptus Stems in the Glass Bubble Vase. The Architectural Apartment There's no doubt about it - interior trends are much like fashion in the sense that it remains cyclical, and we have usually seen some version of everything before. However, there seems to be a noticeable resurgence in Mid-Century Bauhaus staples which brings us to "The Architectural Apartment." While our beach bungalow, pared-back paradise and womb room all allowed for organic lines and elements of rustic romance, the Architectural Apartment is all about precision engineering, statement silhouettes and mostly-manufactured materials. Think polished concrete floors, shimmering chrome framework and rich teak pieces. These interiors do not have the appearance of "just happening" to come together; instead, they look as though things have been painstakingly placed at specific angles and checked with a protractor. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Every piece of furniture in the architectural apartment has a clear purpose and unrivalled ergonomics, which is why we would style it with the black leather and nickel metal Rocker Chair or all-black Wilman Chair, the Cesca-inspired Armchair, the Binky Floor lamp and our Geometric Lola Rug topped with the Pablo TV Unit. Accessories will need to have the same blunt, brutalist feel to them, which is why we would choose this Rectangular Mantel Clock and the Garbo Ornament. While this level of modern minimalism usually means a monochrome palette, could get away with one vibrant splash of colour, perhaps in the form of these attractive orange Amsterdam Book Storage Boxes or by making the Presley Armchair the focal point of the lounge.

The botanical, antique bolthole While the farmhouse aesthetic might be considered all-played out, its distant relative, cottage-core, is still very much on the rise. Since being named on Tumblr way back in 2018, cottage-core has evolved into a biophilic, nostalgic look that combines old-world antiques, rural romance and sustainability to form a truly heavenly interior that feels as though you stepped into a fairytale. This interior design trend is likely to be a firm favourite of your friend who got really into making sourdough during the pandemic and who would delight in taking a trip to a French flea market. Think lush, leafy houseplants of all species, shapes and sizes dotted around the house, along with overstuffed Victorian armchairs and statement pieces in wicker or rattan. Our botanical, antique bolthole sees vintage baroque work alongside contemporary boho with a rustic, naturalist twist. Picture a flourishing potting shed filled with priceless antiques and you get the idea. While this aesthetic calls for bold, dark and brooding paint and wallpaper choices, you can still achieve it by opting for large furniture pieces such as the French Wicker Bench and Churchill Chair with Footstool, before adding faux houseplants galore (we love these Trailing Plants, the Typhonium and the Dieffenbachia). Then, simply layer your shelves and surfaces with eclectic, vintage-inspired accessories such as the Arbus Double Photoframe, Ember Antique Copper Candlestick, Naturalist Beetles Prints and the Theo Greek Bust. An easy tip is to keep your palette centred around rich green, brown and gold accents.
