Writing in the Press and Journal, Gabrielle Fagan looks at key trends for home interiors in 2010.

Amongst trends such as Spring Greens, Flower Power and Monochromatic Magic, Gabrielle writes that Coastal Style is definately a look for 2010.

“A relaxed coastal look will be ultra-fashionable,” says Marnie Janaway, head of home design for Sainsbury’s.

“The allure of the sea is strong this year, with all things nautical in vogue. Refresh a home with an airy Hamptons beach house palette of tranquil blues and understated neutrals.

“Cool cottons, natural rattans, galvanised metals and folk-inspired patterns can be easily mixed and matched across different rooms of the home, from bedroom to bathroom.”

So why not modernise your home by painting your walls and floorboards white and adding New England Style white painted furniture? Complete the holiday home look by adding accessories such as cushions, blinds and curtains in sea blue shades.

Add a set of Beach Hut Money Boxes, and you’ll even have somewhere to save for next year’s holiday!
