READ NOWHaythornthwaite, the owner of The Visionary Co, said she would be bringing to life a few elements of the new-season interior styling trends, which could be seen in retailers throughout autumn and winter.
“Coming into winter we will see retailers flooded with warm autumn tones, with khaki, mustard, terracotta, olive greens, rust, deep earthy tones and dirty peaches playing a pivotal role,” she said.
“These colours evoke a sense of warmth, relaxation and comfort, which are perfect for the cooler months.
“Other trends that will remain prominent into the upcoming season are warm metallics and pattern.
“Styling needs to be functional and it’s important to remember that styling pieces are what add soul to each room, so don’t throw away sentimental pieces.
“There is nothing wrong with mixing some pricier pieces in with the everyday affordable options.
“When paired correctly, a vintage, family heirloom can sit quite comfortably next to an Adairs cushion or Big W piece,” Ms Haythornthwaite said.
Cockburn Gateway marketing manager Kerrie Allen said the centre had worked with fashion, lifestyle and business experts to truly capture the essence of this season’s trends to suit all styles and needs.
“This autumn winter season we have collaborated with local and inspirational designers, stylists and entrepreneurs to curate a range of looks for all our customers, from busy active mums, to savvy professionals, to avid fashion watchers,” she said.
