Interiors trend report: Jungle Chintz

Interior designer and colour queen talk about the recent trend she's calling jungle chintz. This Osborne & Little bold botanical print wallpaper features large scale leaves in many forms

Any listeners to the Great Indoors podcast will know that I am firmly championing the trend that sees chintz as the pattern of choice for the best-dressed homes. Interiors love affair with all things in excess means it’s the natural progression to choose the most maximalist of all patterns. I’m loving the brazen use of big bold chintzy florals on wallpaper- and yes all four walls people and maybe the ceiling too! And it’s creeping onto upholstery, so apply to headboards, footstools and sofas with wild abandon *cue more squeals of delight from me*.

One of the more emerging trends I saw at Maison & Objet earler this year was what I’m calling Jungle chintz. Sure, we’ve seen plenty of botanical prints for aeons now, but ‘Jungle chintz’ combines the two trends; our love of a jungle palm with the chintzy maximalism of a great big fat busy print.

Interior designer and colour queen talk about the recent trend she's calling jungle chintz. The Extinct Animal wallpaper collection by Moooi for Arte features a Menagerie of Extinct Animals. It has an incredible depth and trompe l'oeil feel with it's hidden extinct animals

The Extinct Animal wallpaper collection by Moooi for Arte

Arte wallpapers have teamed up with Dutch bad boy of design Moooi who’s new wallpaper design is a very thick and heavily patterned botanical design with extinct animals poking out from behind the foliage. The design take inspiration from 10 extinct creatures, including the dodo, umbrella squid, blushing sloth and bearded leopard. Moooi found images of these animals by exploring the collections of various museums. The whole effect is very whimsy and macbre but I think that is something we are set to see more of in interior design as a means of fantastical escape.

Interior designer and colour queen talk about the recent trend she's calling jungle chintz. Celebrating a long lost kingdom the Dinosaura wallpaper by House of Hackney will take centre stage in any room such as a bathroom as shown here.

Dinosaura Wallpaper in Turmeric by House of Hackney

Back here in the UK, designers dangereaux House of Hackney have penned dinosaurs amongst the exotic foliage which is part bonkers and fabulous in equal measure. When the political or economic climate gets tense- we all clutch our paintbrushes and go a little mad. Having spoken with Marianne Shillingford, Creative director at Dulux last week, she confirms that the paint manufacturer sees an upswell in bold paint sales when the social/economic climate gets tough. You can blame it on Brexit if you like, but I for one wholeheartedly embrace this trend. It’s the perfect antidote to too much good taste, and I think every home up and down the land could benefit from feeling a little more exotic. I’m currently searching for the perfect paper to finish off our downstairs loo and I can see this being the just the piece of escapism I’m looking for.

A down stoars loo or WC is the perfect place to go wild with a jungle inspired wallaper. Make the most of your mall space and interir designer Sophie Robinson shows you how on her latest interiors trend report for Jungle chintz

This trend, of course, doesn’t just transverse fabrics and wallpapers, but can be seen across lots of home accessories from high street to high end. Complete your luxe-exotica look with gold palm tree’s, parakeets, and jungle prints.

Relaxed wild flowers are having their moment. The Relaxed wild flowers are having their moment. The award winning gardens at the recent Chelsea flower show all showcased wild style flower gardens, celebrating the diversity of nature, supporting wildlife.  Their soft willowy randomness is a lovely antidote to the strict structures of life. I love to see wild flowers ( and a fair fee weeds!) in my garden and in the motifs I choose to decorate my house in. But partnered with a tight geometric creates the tension I enjoy. A little bit of structure, a little bit dishevelled, it is the perfect balance for me, shown here in the patterned tiled floor and botanical print chest. Helps me go with the flow without losing my way. ❤️ are you up for taking it to the wild side?!

Who else is absolutely struggling today after the Who else is absolutely struggling today after the four day party weekend! I’ve abandoned my desk and resorted to tidying the house instead. Here is a rare glimpse of my sons tidy room! 
While Arthur chose this colour scheme 5 years ago, it’s still going strong but I’ve updated it with a large area rug from @alternativeflooring designed by @margoselbystudio . I’m a BIG FAN of big rugs and what I like about this one is you can order it in a specific size. I recommend 30-50cm clear of the skirting boards all round, tucked under the bed and armchair it feels luxurious and fills the room with more colour and pattern. Floors often go unthought of but is another place to add impact to your schemes. ✅

According to some recent research 24% of us look t According to some recent research 24% of us look to friends and family for design Inspiration, 21% to makeover tv shows and 18% to instagram. But while it’s great gathering ideas and opinions, ultimately creating a stylish home has to come from you if you are going to love the home you live in. The extraordinary Colour Psychology framework helps you unlock the colour palette that is perfect for you and gives you the superpower to create rooms that feel as good as they look. Suddenly other peoples opinions, trends, and influencers no longer hold sway. Creating a home is deeply personal, an exploration of what makes YOU happy. For me it’s all about the pattern, texture and plenty of intense colour. Tasteful grey interiors leave me feeling flat, I love the energy of a colour clash! If you want to understand your relationship with colour and how to design schemes that affect your emotions in a positive way, this is the last weekend to enrol in my online course, Colour Psychology for interiors. You can find the link to learn more up in my bio. It’s my most popular course to date and has transformed the way thousands of people feel about their interior spaces. 
Let me know what your happy colours are down in the comments below.

Did you know 50% of people use social media to fin Did you know 50% of people use social media to find inspiration on how to decorate their living rooms? I’m definitely one of them! That’s according to a study by Sky Glass, the streaming TV from @sky_uk . I’ve been investigating the latest interior trends we are lusting after, and how our living rooms are changing- as we say goodbye to three piece suites, and hello to sustainable vintage furniture, statement rugs, wall prints and cosy-ing up the sofa with throws and cushions. As you can see I’m all over the trends! If you head over to the @sky_uk channel today, I’ll also be answering some interior design questions all about styling your TV. Would love to hear what you think are the living room trends to watch.

This is the first room we decorated after our reno This is the first room we decorated after our renovations. The entrance to your home creates the first impression. It’s also the room you walk into first thing in the morning and when you return home at the end of a long day. It needs to create the right welcome and what that feels like is hugely personal. For me I chose my favourite colours, this powerful cobalt  blue has always been a colour I’m drawn to. My wardrobe is full of it. And the bright pink is another one that always makes me instantly happy. Together they are a striking combination and I think anyone who walks through my front door, immediately gets a sense of what I’m about. I’m passionate about creating interiors that authentically  reflect the people who live there. Studying the psychology of colour made it so much easier for me, giving me a deeper understanding on the affects of colour and streamlining my process. If you’d like to know how to unlock your colour super power, join me for a free webinar this Wednesday evening (available to up for 48 hours after). It an introduction into colour psychology for interiors and my hope is it inspires you to have the courage and conviction to know what’s right for you.  And for a deeper dive my online course Colour Psychology for interiors has opened for enrolment. All links to sign up are in my bio on my profile @sophierobinsoninteriors
