Top Homeware Trends

August 6, 2015 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 2 Comments

Top Homeware Trends{sponsored by Target}

Over the past month, the man of the house has been busy repainting our home. We have been living here for 12 years and it is well and truly time to give everything a refresh and de-clutter. I have been looking around at homewares to get an idea of current styles and trends. I love the look of modern homewares – there are so many fun products to add some colour and style to your home. Here is a round-up of what is in vogue for 2015 – our top 10 homeware trends.

1. Word Art

Whether it is decorating a wall, a cushion, or a coffee mug – typography continues to be on right on trend. Loving my new Hello wall art which features wooden cursive lettering with yellow dipped paintwork. Colourful and fun!

Top Homeware Trends 2. Geometric

Geometric prints, especially triangles, are a current design trend. Inject some geometric love into your home with cushions, plant pots, linen, throws, and home décor items. The Lisa T Modern House adds some flair and modern style to your home décor. Top Homeware Trends 3. Black and White

Black and White is always a classic colour palette and it gives your home a modern edge. It can be introduced in cushions, linens, artwork, photo frames, and more. Scrapbook paper was added to this Aloha Frame to give it some black and white flair.

Top Homeware Trends 4. Quirky

Quirky accents can add some fun to a room, Who can resist the Catty Cushion for an original look.

5. Woodland

The woodland theme has been a recurring theme over the past years with owls and foxes making an appearance. This year deer are a design feature.

6. Mint

The colour mint is right on trend and you will see it appearing in lots of accent pieces and linens. The Lisa T Ceramic Candle in Mint adds a pop of colour.

7. Pastel Colours

Pastel colours are popular, particularly in bed linens. The Modern Folk Cushion, pictured above, is colourful and fresh.

8. Succulents

Cacti and succulents make ideal pot plants for a sunny windowsill. Succulents are easy to grow and need very little attention. They are very popular at the moment and a great way to incorporate some plants into your décor.

9. Candles

Candles are popular and are a great way to add warmth and freshness to your living spaces. There are so many lovely scents available – we love the Black Fig and Apricot which makes your home so inviting.

10. Wooden Accents

Add some natural colour and material to your living area with some wooden accents. Wall Art, photo frames, wooden trays are items that you can use to incorporate some natural timber.

A lot can change in 10 years ❤️ It’s been fun look A lot can change in 10 years ❤️ It’s been fun looking back at where I was in 2016 and how far life has come since then. Swipe for a little trip down memory lane.Back in 2016, my priorities were firmly centred around family. I was working full‑time, sewing in the guest room, sharing tutorials on my blog, and slowly dipping my toes into selling a handful of patterns on Etsy. It was a busy, full season — and creativity was something I fitted in around everything else.  Fast forward to 2026… I’m now retired and living the creative life I once dreamed of. My kids have grown up and are living in their own homes nearby. My husband and I are free to travel, explore, and enjoy this stage of life. And I get to spend my days designing, sewing, and connecting with this beautiful community.Life looks different now — in the best possible way.Were you following me back then, or what has changed for you over the past 10 years? I’d love to hear your story too.Tagging the lovely makers of my quilt: @arabesquescissors @ministryoffabric @belloquacity @alittlepatchwork @sameliasmum coleandtaffy @quiltymamaof4 @shequiltsalot @downgrapevinelane @lizzierosesews @lovethatfabric @sew_mimi.k #2026isthenew2016 #10yeartransformation #sewingjourney #sewingcommunity #aspoonfulofsugardesigns
