We have all learnt the benefit of being outside in the great outdoors in the last 18 months, so it should probably come as no surprise that next year’s interior trends are being defined by the colour green. From bright botanicals to more muted forest shades, this soothing palette should bring harmony to your home all year round. 

This Bower Velvet Sofa Bed in dark green would fit effortlessly into any contemporary design scheme. Upholstered in luxurious velvet and hand stitched to the finest detail, this sofa converts into a comfortable bed for overnight guests or weekend catnaps. £229, homescapesonline.com

If you are feeling bold, introduce the Exotic Garden wallpaper to your home. With spectacular details of leaves and tropical vegetation, the lush greenery against the dark background recreates the feeling of deep inside a tropical rainforest. £175, mindtheg.com

These distinctive Manor cushions are made from heavy linen and are printed using traditional methods. To achieve a vintage effect and to get more softness, the linen cushions are given a stonewash finish. £115, charltonisland.com 

The key interior trends for next year take their cue from the catwalk and include rich jewel colours and deep plush velvets, which makes the Carnaby Footstool in olive green velvet perfect for a finishing touch to the living area or a bedroom revamp. £119, atkinandthyme.co.uk
