As we transition into Spring Summer 2024, the world of interiors is blooming with fresh ideas and timeless styles. To celebrate this seasonal shift, Vogue Living Editor-in-Chief, Rebecca Caratti, shared her expert insights during an exclusive longtable lunch event at Coco Republic, where she explored key trends and personal approaches to home styling.

Bec believes that great design transcends trends. For her, modern and contemporary pieces have enduring appeal—she is confident that the designs she loves today will still resonate with her 5, 10, or even 20 years down the line. This belief highlights the importance of curating a space that reflects your personal style rather than just following passing fads. She notes, "It comes down to the longevity of something in your space and being true to your personal style."

While Bec personally gravitates toward sleek, modern silhouettes, she recognizes that many find comfort in casual, coastal aesthetics, which offer a different kind of timelessness. Whether your preference leans towards modern minimalism or relaxed coastal vibes, the key is to embrace what feels authentic to you.

For those feeling adventurous, Bec advises starting small when experimenting with new styles. A thoughtful approach to introducing new trends can help maintain harmony in your space while keeping it fresh.

During her recent trip to Milan Design Week, she was captivated by several standout trends:

• Aluminium and steel: Reflecting a new industrial revolution, these metals offer utilitarian charm and strong sustainability credentials.
• Crimson red: A bold shade, this rich hue infused fabrics, ceramics, and glassware, offering warmth and depth to interiors.
• Not-so-quiet luxury: While she typically prefers minimalist design, Rebecca found herself drawn to maximalist luxury installations that celebrated excess and indulgence.
• 70s-inspired design: A playful revival of 70s aesthetics, with a modern twist, added nostalgic charm to contemporary spaces.

Sustainability is at the forefront of the industry, and she notes that the focus on reused materials, circularity, and conscious design is here to stay. These elements aren't just trends; they represent a lasting shift towards more responsible home design.

On a personal note, Bec practices what she preaches. Her minimalist approach to home styling helps her maintain clarity amidst life's chaos. She favors sculptural pieces, clean lines, and natural touches. To her, a well-designed home is an extension of the experiences and places that shape us. Whether it's a fondness for the beach or inspiration from a beloved city, our spaces should reflect our unique stories.

So, as you refresh your home for the season ahead, remember to stay true to yourself and the experiences that have shaped you.
