Guided by Birdie's expert eye for design and her effortless sense of style, these trends embody a perfect harmony of character and tranquility, offering inspiration for every corner of the home. From the revival of natural materials to innovative takes on colour palettes and bold, statement pieces, 2025 promises to be a year where our home and interiors become havens of style and soul.

Heritage Craftsmanship

The Artisanal Touch

Handcrafted pieces take centre stage, offering a one-off, authentic feel. From the intricate carvings in our Twisted Table Lamps to hand machine embroidered Suzanis, the focus is on the meticulous artistry that makes each piece unique. Inlaid furniture, like the Havana Stripe Bone Inlay pieces, will continue to captivate due to their detailed and meticulous craftsmanship - this gives them a timeless appeal, and of course, a beautifully tactile appearance.

Modern Heirlooms

Durable, well-crafted pieces with heirloom quality are becoming a priority for interior designers. These are investments that transcend trends and are intended to be passed down from generation to generation. Our designs - from elegant wooden, hand-carved furniture to luxurious embroidered velvet cushions - speak to this legacy of timeless design that will last through every season.

The Antique Revival

Antiques remain a cornerstone of interior design, offering an unmatched sense of history and character. Incorporating polished or painted antiques alongside contemporary pieces creates a layered and eclectic feel, brimming with charm. You can view our current collection of antiques sourced by Birdie here.

A Focus on Wellness

Nature-Inspired Beauty

Designs influenced by the natural world foster a sense of calm and connection. Botanical and floral prints bring freshness to interiors, while furniture like our Pavilion Furniture Collection highlights organic motifs, such as a hand-carved leaf frame. Our Headboards are the perfect touch for a tranquil bedroom scheme.

Creating Quiet Corners

Tranquility is a luxury in today’s busy world. Comforting, peaceful spaces adorned with textured throws, soft cushions, fresh white linens, and soft lighting offer an inviting area for relaxation, tranquility and escapism which is becoming ever more important.

Sustainable Style

Eco-conscious choices are increasingly vital as consumers move away from plastic products that end up in landfills. The focus is now on natural materials and recyclability, which represent both the present and the future. Materials like cotton mache, linen, and responsibly sourced wood combine sustainability with elegance, offering timeless beauty while prioritising environmental responsibility. This shift ensures that every design not only looks good and makes us feel better, but also contributes to a more sustainable, eco-friendly future.

Texture and Layering

Soft Furnishing Layers

Layered textures create depth and comfort. From rugs with varied finishes to coordinating cushions and a mixture of throws, like our popular Bordered Throws , create comfort. Combining different materials enriches the tactile experience of any room, but feels particularly important with a relaxation or entertaining focus - we want our guests to feel comfortable!

Velvet and Embroidery

Luxurious embroidered velvet cushions and block print linen blends add detail and sophistication - our Remolino cushions are the perfect example of high quality velvet designs with embroidered detailing that create a decadent arrangement. These tactile additions elevate interiors with a sense of opulence and personality - mix and match tones, shapes and sizes for an interesting yet coordinated look.

Raffia and Rattan

Styling these natural materials in your interior offers an effortless way to introduce depth and warmth through textures and layering. Pair a rattan armchair or a headboard with linen cushions and a soft throw to balance its sturdy, airy frame. Incorporate raffia elements, like a Seema Raffia Lampshades, to weave subtle organic charm into your space. These materials work beautifully in layered, tonal palettes to create a cohesive, yet neutral backdrop for the rest of your home decor.

Eclectic Interiors

A Collected Look

Homes that reflect personal stories remain at the forefront of design. Mixing pieces from different periods, cultures, and styles creates a rich, layered aesthetic that feels uniquely yours.

Mix and Match

Softly clashing hues and mismatched prints add a sense of fun and individuality to interiors. The key is to balance these contrasts with a harmonious palette that ties everything together. The interplay of materials - natural woods, rattan, marble, gloss finishes, metals, and glass - creates a dynamic and interesting visual narrative within any space.

Artwork & Antiques

Combining diverse styles of art creates an eclectic, visually captivating look, while adding in contemporary pieces styled with vintage furniture creates added depth and character. This fusion of art and antiques adds a personal touch, creating an atmosphere that reflects individuality while balancing modern and classic elements for a unique, harmonious style. You can visit The Gallery to view a selection of artists we are thrilled to represent.

Global Influences

Drawing inspiration from different cultures adds depth and vibrancy to interiors. Birdie’s designs incorporate these global touches, celebrating the beauty of diversity, with recent collections inspired by trips to Cuba, Andalusia and Lisbon, alongside sourced pieces from India and further afield.
