Trends move fast, but Dunelm moves faster. The retailer has an uncanny ability to spot what's next and translate it into affordable buys that feel relevant, inspiring and easy to incorporate into real homes.
Whether you're embracing a new colour palette or simply swapping in a few fresh accessories, it's a brand that makes staying ahead of the curve feel refreshingly achievable. ‘At Dunelm, we're obsessed with finding great products for our customers to make their house a home,’ says Emma Anthony, head of design and development. ‘We spend a huge amount of time researching trends across culture, fashion and design.’
How do you put your own spin on an interiors trend?
‘When you base your home around pieces you love, your own style will start to shine through, so before embracing a trend, think about what genuinely appeals to you, whether that's a colour, pattern or material. Cushions, throws and decorative accessories are an easy way to experiment with a new look without committing to a full redesign. And remember: the most stylish spaces are rarely created overnight. Mix old favourites with new finds and build a home that feels personal, collected and uniquely yours.’
Emma's autumn trend round-up
1) Think form and function
People are looking for simple, everyday pieces that are as useful as they are beautiful – think sleek storage, multi-functional furniture and timeless designs in a pared-back palette.
2) Choose pieces that make you smile
From characterful accessories to playful slogans, these can bring so much personality and joy to little pockets of the home.
3) Autumn will always be about warmth and comfort
Layering tonal colours with tactile textures is an easy way to introduce richness and depth without redecorating an entire room.
