Choosing history over
fashion and trends
Our growing aversion to fast fashion and a move to
more sustainable, eco-conscious choices are translating
through to interiors. There’s a marked move
away from quick wins and cheap, mass-produced
homewares to furnishing and decorating our homes
with timeless pieces that tell a story and reflect a
homeowner’s personal interests.
People are therefore embracing vintage pieces of
furniture and textiles to make a home unique. That’s
why distressed rugs are high on the agenda for 2022.
Lilla’s distressed rugs are all 100% genuine Persian
hand-knotted rugs. They have a story to tell too as
they are all listed as vintage (meaning they are around
30-99 years old). The subtle colours and slightly worn
piles enable you to bring the character of a Persian
rug to your space, in a soft and classy way.
Kitchen comforts
2021 made homeowners reassess their living spaces
and with kitchens and kitchen dining spaces being the
heart of the home, it was one of the first rooms people
wanted to decorate and transform. Kitchens have fast
become a place where we crave comfort. An oversized
rug or runner in a kitchen can add cushioning underfoot,
warmth and interest. They also become a key
talking point for guests. Rich, earthy colours like reds,
burgundy’s and Mulberry full of traditional patterns
create that all-important warm and inviting harmony
set against a white, beige or grey contemporary
kitchen. Earthy tones in beige, olive or creams create
a more grounded feel for a kitchen space that’s cooler
or dark in tone . Adding a rug in a kitchen is a small
change that can make a lifetime of difference.
