AW17 Trend Focus: Midnight Garden
Our Midnight Garden collections takes inspiration from country gardens at night, whilst maintaining a sophisticated and classical edge. Elegant florals in deep tones are combined with subtle nods and abstract interpretations, making for a collection that’s sure to appeal to every taste.
Florals are a timeless trend, but this season, it’s time to turn attention to bewitching blooms. Forget about dainty ditsy prints and girlish flourishes. Instead, look towards fabrics that offer a grown-up elegance and drama, with strong colour combinations and attention to detail. Mix these with traditional stripes and checks for a warm, homely feel, perfect for the autumn and winter seasons.
Living room in full bloom
No matter the size or style of your living room, it’s sure to benefit from a botanical blitz this season. The easiest way to introduce the Midnight Garden trend into this space is with soft furnishings. Style up your sofa and armchair with an assortment of cushions, and update your window dressings with fresh curtains or Roman blinds. Selecting fabrics that feature your favoured flowers is a super quick update, and you can take this a step further by getting your larger pieces of furniture fully upholstered, or investing in a statement foot stool. You can also continue to channel the floral feeling by adding fresh flowers. Look for autumnal bouquets that will tie in with the rest of your decor and create a seasonal ambience.
Bedroom botanicals
Florals are also a failsafe option for your bedroom. Easily incorporated through bed linen, cushions, window dressings and artwork, the Midnight Garden trend is sure to flourish in this space. Invite heady blooms into the master bedroom and create an alluring space that is both dramatic and romantic. Florals are a universal options for bedrooms because they are inherently feminine, and are sure to bring comfort and a fresh sense of nature to the indoors. Whether you opt for a soft pastel colour scheme, a bold mix of dark tones, or a muted blend of neutrals, your botanicals are sure to create a warm and welcoming bedroom this winter.

The Midnight Garden isn’t just a place for flowers, of course. Buried beneath the leaves in hidden corners, you’re bound to discover a creepy crawly or two.
