Maximalism’ and Velvet Key Trends for 2019…. 

Minimalism is out and maximalism is in. That’s according to interior decor experts from Elle, House Beautiful, Fresh Home and Style Caster. People are getting tired of the coldness and lack of creature comforts offered by minimalism, favouring more flourishes, statement pieces, decorations, rich textiles and bold prints.

Widdop’s Home Living brand has set its looks for the year with this firmly in mind. Each of the five new looks — Soft Chic, Dark Glam, Industrial, Ocean Breeze and Bloom — offer a wide selection of colourful accessories, ornaments and furnishings to embrace maximalism in a variety of unique styles.

A new collection of deluxe velvet cushions offers comfort, colour, wistful words and puns perfect for adding a touch of flair to any living space. These velvet accessories are accompanied by the addition of matching velvet two-seater sofas, foot stools and bar stools to bring indulgence and luxury.

Unique and quirky accessories are the perfect way to inject personality into a room. Widdop’s collections of distressed leather-look animal and sentiment doorstops are proving an immensely popular new addition. Charming and characterful, they are a splash of cheerful and functional luxury at affordable prices.

The full Home Living collection, including these new products, will be prominently featured by Widdop at Autumn Gift & Home.
