Whimsy revival: Playful, personality-packed décor that sprinkles colour, charm, and nostalgia through homes and gardens.
Sanctuary bathrooms: Spa-like retreats where ritual, relaxation, and recovery become part of daily life.
Regenerative gardening: Going beyond sustainability to heal soil, store carbon, and help nature thrive.
Ritual dining: Slow, sensory mealtimes that celebrate connection, creativity, and the joy of lingering at the table.
Earthcore: Grounding spaces wrapped in earthy tones, tactile textures, and the beauty of imperfection.
The report features contributions from leading voices across the home and garden world, including the likes of Dr Sarah Owen-Hughes (MCIHort, Head Gardener at Rudding Park), Dr Emily Attlee (conservation scientist and co-founder of Seedball), and health coach Sarah Stannard, plus leading brands including Charles Bentley, Hovia, and Quorn Stone, all sharing their insider tips to help bring these trends to life.
