With staycations on the rise and shows like Bridgerton on our screens, we can hardly be blamed for indulging in our more decadent impulses. Enter: Regencycore, the trend of the moment, and a glorious celebration of fuss and frill. We at Harrods Interior Design have designed a fair few Georgian wonders, reveling in ceiling roses, Doric columns and hand-carved friezes. But for those of us not living in an 18th-century manor house, you can live out your Bridgerton dreams with opulent tea sets, sultry boudoirs and ornate furnishings fit for a duke and duchess.

Comfort is firmly on the agenda for 2021. Think sink-into furniture, warm lighting, knits, throws and cushions, and organic forms that make us feel cosy and warm. Calming neutral colours seem the obvious choice, but this year vibrant reds, yellows and blues will enter the foray as people look to create spaces that are both comfortable and mood-enhancing.

Office, restaurant, school – the role of the home has changed dramatically in the past year, and it’s made it increasingly difficult to separate work and play. The result? We’re more tired than ever. Screen fatigue and work burnout are on the rise, so it’s high time we perfect the elusive art of resting. ‘Active rest’ – actively putting your mind at rest – can be achieved in myriad ways: meditating, board games, exercise, gardening, for example. But we need to create space for these hobbies, which is why we’re seeing more and more activity corners, tech-free zones, indoor gardens and games rooms.

Oh, to travel the world and discover new culture, music and art. I’m certain I’m not the only one missing globe-trotting, which could explain the recent interest in special statement pieces: sculptural pottery, travel-inspired prints, intricate marquetry andbespoke rugs. Beautifully hand-crafted pieces that offer mental escapism and fill our homes with stories – something we all need.
