At this time of year, we look forward to what are going to be the big style trends for the year 2020. We would never advise following trends for big spend pieces because they could easily fall out of trend and you may be left with an expensive piece or an entire room that you regret having spent so much on to not like anymore. Your home is a reflection of you and the other people you live with. A home should really be about living with what you love. Here are some of the trends set to Sooz Gordon, Dundee-based interior designer says: ‘Home for me is about being surrounded by personal and meaningful objects. I am drawn to pieces that have character and have an interesting narrative. As a designer and maker, I look for quality materials, and appreciate craftsmanship and artistry’.
So here’s some Scaramanga inspiration for 2020.

Yes. About time too! We’ve been expecting, really wanting, to see blue as a big colour for a little while. As many you know blue has been a favourite colour of ours since we started 14 years ago. Our blue furniture and interiors come from Rajasthan, the desert regions of north-west India. Particularly, the ancient city of Jodhpur aka ‘the blue city’. Within the old city walls, the houses and interiors of the houses are painted a rich vibrant blue, furniture is also painted blue and we’re lucky to be able to acquire a blue interiors from the amazing fortified desert city.

Not to boasting or anything, but we did have a sneaky suspicion that the Pantone Colour of the Year 2020 was going to be blue. It felt like it was time for a blue. Their 2020 colour is called Classic Blue, and it’s just that: a classic blue. It’s clean and elegant and so easy to incorporate into your home.
If a painting an entire room blue is a step too far looks to create smaller areas or pockets of ‘blueness’. So vibrant blue textiles here or a faded blue cupboard or armoire set against a satin grey polished concrete floor. Go even more micro with a collection of blue antique medicine bottles in a blue vintage bathroom cabinet or a stack of small vintage tins with tropical house plants..

Global Bohemian
OK, so this is a style that’s not really new for 2020. I highlight ‘global nomad’ as a style trend for 2019. I love it so much I wanted to highlight it again for 2020. Though I’ve renamed it!It’s a style that’s going to continue into 2020. It’s a real fusion of decorative patterns, earthy colours and natural textures found in handmade crafts and interiors mixed with authentic vintage and antique interiors from across the eras. So imagine hand-thrown ochre-coloured pots, mixed with bold spiced honey block-print textiles and rough-cut honey-coloured hardwoods mixed with vibrant coloured 1970s pop-art and subtle 60’s Scandi cool. It’s a celebration of rich tones and rugged textures from distant lands and eclectic mixing. It’s a trend style we’ve loved for years. If Like Scaramanga’s founder, Carl, you like collecting and buying handmade curios and eclectic vintage and antique items on your travels then it’s a style that’s not hard to recreate.
