Iridescent is all about summertime: think of sunlight glittering on the surface of the ocean and golden sand between your toes. The handcrafted, uneven finishes of previous seasons continue to dominate, whilst introducing small flickers of luxury in the form of iridescent and pearlescent finishes. Combining contrasting surfaces and textures will enrich your home, adding personality and bringing it to life; try pairing matt with gloss or shimmering with dull to add depth and dimension to a room. 1. Transparent and sheer materials will be making a big appearance, as demonstrated by Beautiful Homes Direct. This translucent bottle is coloured a deep Anemone purple. 2. Gold and sparkle aren’t just for Christmas! This leaf and crystal garland from Mollie & Fred makes an all-year-round shimmery addition to your home. 3. Gong work the trend perfectly, mixing a distressed blue finish with shiny gold details on their Su-14 wardrobe. 4. For heavenly wall decorations, look no further than Cotswold Trading. These angel wings would make a great statement piece for your living room wall. 5. This super-cute rubber ducky lip balm from Getting Personal is painted a glossy, metallic gold. Inside is nourishing and moisturising butterscotch-flavoured balm. 6. Made from organic wood with a beautiful pearlescent finish, this bowl from Barley Sugar is a perfect example of mixing an uneven texture with shimmering colours. 7. A casual cotton bag is perfect for lazy days on the beach or picnics in the park. House Knutsford’s gold heart printed number makes the perfect summer accessory. 8.
