Is your home a nature lover, a bohemian rhapsody, a retro child or a romantic cottage dweller? Leroy Merlin can help you embrace any of these. 

Does your style embody contemporary lines and raw surfaces? Or luxurious retro-inspired décor? Or perhaps charming country aesthetics? Or maybe you’re a colour lover with vibrant, bohemian-inspired patterns and hues. LEROY MERLIN has everything you need to create a living space that's uniquely you, no matter your taste or budget.

NATURE - Contemporary authenticity

The Contemporary Authenticity trend combines two opposite styles: modernity and authenticity. Termed NATURE, the trend highlights contemporary lines and raw surfaces. It showcases colour palettes and materials that are natural and warmer, and a little darker than last year. It incorporates the Japandi trend of slat panels, and NATURE appreciates beauty that is imperfect, which means you’ll find matte, slightly rougher textures. This trend brings a physicality and a connection to nature to your living area, which balances our technologically-immersed daily lives. The signature look in this trend is a contrast between hand-crafted decorative shapes and minimalist objects.

GLAMOUR CORE - Retro-refreshed

The Glamour Core trend, which can also be described as retro-refreshed, has a hyper decorative, luxurious and comfortable style that continue to infiltrate the global commercial industry. You’ll see it in restaurants, hotels and bars globally. The signature elements are rounded shapes and arches, Terrazzo on walls and floors, and deep, rich colours on walls and furniture. Essential pieces in this trend are velvet curtains and cushions as well as gilded metallic structures for lighting, and functional decorative accessories. The story continues with a rich, geometric-patterned style, which is influenced by the popular Art Deco design style of the 1930's. The trend evolves from very soft, sweet and "boudoir” to strongly decorative and eccentric in the colour palettes and materials. Colours are warm yellows, reds and emerald greens to spark joy, and golden details, oblong-shaped lighting and coloured glass vases to keep the retro look consistent.

COUNTRY CHARM - New cottage

This movement is inspired by the romantic look of the 19th century cottage. It’s the era where the original cottage was an authentic, rural and practical space that optimised life on a working farm. The ‘New Cottage’ charming country house now becomes the new Eden escape, an ode to the idealistic “farm life". This design theme is influenced by the diversity of country landscapes and their colours, with reclaimed materials as signature elements. Dried flower tones, elements of straw, and a colour palette of yellow and grey green are key. Soft and sweet flower patterns are added on textiles, wallpapers, fabrics and tiles. Vintage style hanging lights, framed wall panels and Shaker-inspired shapes and furniture complete the look.  

BOHEME FASHION - Unapologetically bold

The BOHEME FASHION trend brings in a vibrant mix of bright colours. Think Cape Town’s hillside Bo-Kaap lined with bright coloured houses, and the vibe of its lively streets. It’s all about a South African summer, surf culture, pleasure and enjoyment. Ethnic motifs and pop graphics sum up the fun! Explosive colours and patterns with a no-rules, mix-and-match attitude will excite and stimulate all the senses and with LEROY MERLIN you can bring all these feels into your living space.
