Tips, tricks and inspiration for finding your thing
Finding your style isn’t as easy as it seems.

How to FIND your style
Ready to discover your deepest interior desires? Check out our top tips and advice for how to find your style below.
FIND your starting point
We know it’s not realistic to begin your style journey by throwing all your furniture away and starting from scratch. Instead, why not find your style using something you love as a foundation?
It might be the heirloom dining table passed down by your grandma’s grandma, or something as small as the funky cushion you brought back from last summer’s holiday. Maybe you’ve seen a new trend sweeping Tik Tok and can’t get it out of your head.
The question is - why do you love it? Is it the colour, the shapes, the theme, or something else entirely? Once you’ve got that down, you can start by choosing furniture, or even a whole design style, to match.
FIND the trend for you
If you don’t know your cottagecore from your castlecore, mix up maximalism and minimalism, and think biophilic interior sounds more like a medical condition than a design style, you’re in the rightt place.
Our trend hub features all the latest and greatest in interior design - compiled in one spot for you to browse to your heart’s content.
