The Lifestyle Report
Fringe is creeping back into interiors via sculptural sofas and tasselled parasols — a softer, moodier shift away from rooms that have felt overly serious.
The forever kitchen has arrived — replacing scratched non-stick pans, giant black gadgets and plastic-heavy clutter with beautifully designed pieces made to last.
Straight lines, sharp edges — it’s how most of us have lived for years. But as curved furniture takes over, something shifts.
The homes we grew up in got a lot right — we just didn’t realise it then. Now, the warmth, softness and lived-in ease are back — only this time, they’re intentional.

Some homes smell permanently of disinfectant. Others rely on vinegar and optimism. The smartest homes sit somewhere in between.
The books people quietly pass to friends — the ones that stay with you, and subtly change how you see everything.
Less roses, fewer clichés—more signature scents, softly glowing candles, clever tech and a bottle of something dark and expensive waiting for after hours.
As homes are asked to do more emotional work than ever, wood-drenched interiors offer calm, warmth and quiet confidence — without feeling dated or decorative.
