THE HOME<br />
BRAND MAN<br />
This guy loves his designer labels;<br />
everything in his wardrobe and home shows<br />
off his taste and is chosen with care. A fan<br />
of Pinterest and Instagram, he’s always<br />
one click away from his favourite designer<br />
furniture outlets.<br />
“There’s an increasingly design-literate<br />
male audience, who are looking for product<br />
aesthetics as well as functionality and<br />
performance, from technology to the home,”<br />
says Naomi Shedden, senior trend analyst at<br />
Trend Bible.<br />
“Interior design is becoming a more<br />
democratic process, where a balance has<br />
to be achieved between the preferences of<br />
all family members. We’re seeing a move<br />
towards simpler, cleaner and more modern<br />
trends as a result, but balance is key.<br />
The trend for a grey palette is a classic<br />
sign of this move towards a more masculine<br />
look, which can be softened through<br />
accessories and lighting. We’re even seeing<br />
a move towards including softer shades like<br />
pink, to create a balance of warm and cool<br />
tones. Adding industrial details will ensure<br />
a setting doesn’t look ultra-feminine or<br />
overly-decorative.”<br />
