GLOBAL OPULENCE
With memories of travels abroad still looming large, this rich and eclectic trend takes inspiration from far-flung climes, with a plethora of jewel-like colours, geometric patterns and sumptuous textures. Think of Morocco with its intricate detailing, soft burnished metals and bold colour palette, then team with deep charcoal grey or midnight blue walls for a spectacularly dramatic look, that positively glows with luxuriating warmth.
