We Asked the Experts—These Are the Defining Interior Trends Right Now

There are many things we’re looking to leave behind us after the pandemic, but our obsession with interiors isn’t one of them. For many of us, our homes became our places of work as well as our havens of rest. As such, it’s understandable that elevating our spaces was a huge priority. Still, that doesn’t mean that your quest to achieve interior nirvana needs to be over. With each passing season, fresh interior trends emerge, and that’s certainly the case right now. With our interest piqued, we decided to ask those in the know what they think the best big 2021 interior trends will be.  We consulted Charmaine White, founder and interior designer at The White House Interiors; Matthew Tranter, founder of architectural a...

I Love Zara, But These 8 Other Stores Are Just as Good

When shopping on a high-street budget, it’s all too easy to fall for the trend-smashing charms and regular arrivals at Zara. After all, we’re only human. The Spanish superbrand works fast and efficiently and never appears to miss a beat when it comes to the items we want in our wardrobes at any given moment. In many instances, Zara can be credited with setting retail trends that other affordable stores follow. (Remember when every brand scrambled to produce a loose-fitting polka-dot midi when that dress took off a couple of summers ago?) Right now, the store’s shoe collection is strong, and the vibrant colours are giving many of us the feels. But there are other shops that provide the same level of inspiration and excitement. If you want...

Long time readers of Who What Wear UK, may remember us reporting on the launch of eBay’s new Brand Outlet back in September last year.

These 10 Spring Microtrends Are Going to Be the Next Big Thing

Somebody stop me! When it comes to hunting down trends, it’s the little, quiet ones bubbling up underneath the surface that really pique my interest, and once I start looking, I find it hard to move onto the next task. The big trends are plain to see right now (puffer coats, all beige, and knitted vests are strong), and they’ll undoubtedly rumble on throughout 2021. Maybe they’ll even go further because that’s how slowly these things develop nowadays. Gone are the times when season upon season required an all-change klaxon and for closets to be pillaged and restocked lest you risk looking outdated. It’s undeniably good and important that our wardrobes are not a revolving door of newness and are more a beautifully tended ...

I’m an Etsy Obsessive, and These Are the Unique Homeware Pieces I Love

Unearthing such pieces for your home should be enjoyable, but with car boot sales on-hold and vintage warehouses temporarily off-limits, where can you go to get your unique interiors fix? Handily, I have a suggestion. Lately, I seem to find myself losing hours in my day scrolling through Etsy’s impressive homeware. Featuring everything from full-on furniture to small trinkets to decorate your mantle or windowsill with, Etsy’s homeware section is a treasure trove of one-off or limited edition pieces that will make any room or space more remarkable. The only downside is finding said pieces. With tens of thousands of items currently filed under Etsy homeware, it can be daunting (to say the least) to trawl through them. You’ll be pleased to hear, however, that I’ve...

Stylish Lights Can Be Hard to Find, But I Just Found 21 Gems

When it comes to buying new homewares, there always seems to be particular pieces that are inexplicably hard to find. Just like hunting down the perfect pair of jeans, lighting is a category that I personally struggled with when I moved into my new flat. Dictating the ambience of a room and often acting as the centerpiece from which everything else revolves, this isn’t something you want to get wrong. It also doesn’t help that stylish lights can be cripplingly expensive. Take it from me—someone who spent a good eight months looking for the perfect living room ceiling light—we need all the help we can get.
