    ICONCETTI: SIXTIES-INSPIRED FURNITURE

    Now that season five of Mad Men is taking us back to the Swinging Sixties, lovers of the decade’s iconic interior decor are eyeing their screens for inspiration. Luckily, the popularity of the show has created a renaissance for this desirable look, which has been beautifully captured by Spanish brand Iconcetti. Featuring walnut-hued armchairs, streamlined coffee tables and room-dividing bookcases, the collection combines simple lines, natural elements and earth tones with eternally cool shades of black, grey, cream and stainless steel. We love the statement-making dining tables and the walnut-veneer dressers, but the best thing about these retro furnishings is how beautifully they blend with contemporary accents. Just remember to stay true to the style by choosing a neutral background and keeping the floor plan clean and simple for a timeless and sophisticated feel.

    FERN LIVING: PLAYFUL SCANDI ACCESSORIES

    For a fun living space we recommend embracing the paler end of the pastel spectrum. This season designers have fallen head over heels for sherbet colours, muted hues and ice-cream parlour shades. Give the trend a sassy spin with this quirky and cool Ferm Living collection. Featuring cosy cushions, porcelain tableware and adorable storage solutions, it’s the fine detailing that really brings a smile to our face: a charming penny-farthing print, delightful geometrics, bunting-inspired patterns and chunky knit textures. Sprinkle these whimsical offerings around your home and relive childhood memories of a fairground scene filled with enchanting tents, maypole dancers and candy floss. These heart-warming designs will slightly sharpen up your interior with a playful twist.
