“Nostalgia plays a huge part in today’s interior design trends,” says our interior expert, Lucy. “And delicate small prints work well with so many of the current looks we’re loving – from Cottagecore and Granmillenial to the Vintage revival.
"In 2024, fabric trends are about mixing timeless styles with fresh, modern twists. Styling a home with prints, large and small, can transform a room whether you apply it at scale with homewares like wallpaper, curtains and rugs, or add pops of personality with scatter cushions.

3 Tips for styling your home with small prints
Match with Existing Colours: When choosing small-scale patterns, select ones that align with a key colour in your current decor scheme. This will help create a cohesive look that feels intentional and harmonious.
Balance with Larger Prints: To prevent your space from feeling cluttered, balance small prints with larger patterns. This contrast can create visual interest while maintaining a sense of order.
Ease into Prints: If you’re new to using prints, start small with accessories like cushions or throws. Once you feel more confident, you can make a bigger statement by incorporating blinds, curtains, or even statement wallpaper.
