Imagine walking into a room that is comfortably familiar, yet energised with something new. The term is ‘newstalgia’, and it is one of this year’s most popular design trends. Newstalgia combines the familiarity of the past with sparks of joy and excitement. Design classics from the 1970s and 1980s are back in fashion, but with a twist — they've been modernized and reimagined in rich colours, textures, patterns and finishes. This year is all about self-expression: Creating a space that is mood-boosting, playful and reflective of individual personalities. We're shrugging off the cool, careful, minimalist styles that have weathered a long stretch of popularity. Instead, we're becoming fearless and free in our creativity, hunting down bold and attention-grabbing décor to refresh our living spaces ona budget. We might invest in a single statement piece that brings us joy every time we look at it. Or we might look to upcycle, rehome, repaint, re-love, or repurpose nostalgic or inexpensive pieces that provide us comfort. Painting is an easy and inexpensive D.1.Y. project that can instantly lift, brighten or change the mood of an entire room. Choose delicious colours like smoked paprika, pomegranate and caramel. Refresh a piece of furniture in Taubmans ‘Straw Basket’. Create dramatic features in either Dulux ‘Mars Red’ or ‘Very Cherry’. Or surround yourself in the comforting warmth of Taubmans ‘Gingerbread Man’ on your walls. Pair these colours with brushed bronze, brass and stainless-steel finishes. Go bold with geometric patterns while indulging in nostalgic textures — velvet, bouclé and shag — to bring a tactile, reassuring feel to your home. Use these in cushions, throws and rugs. Look for freeform designs that are wiggly, wavy and geometric — anything that has a handmade or artisan look to it. Use these in vases, stools and lighting. Above all, be playful. Embrace unapologetic, off-kilter pairings that delight and amp up the feel-good factor of your home. More and more, our homes are reflections of our identities.
