There's a reason we've called our latest decorating shoot 'Desert Haze'. It draws inspiration from the serene beauty of desert landscapes, offering a palette of soft sand, earthy ochre, and sunset red. Layered and deep, these tones create a sense of warmth and movement, much like shifting dunes at golden hour.
Meanwhile, furniture takes on curvaceous, undulating forms, echoing nature’s fluidity with ripple-like silhouettes. Texture is also key — think bouclé’s softness and rough-hewn wood’s raw beauty — which adds depth and tactility to every surface.
This was beautifully showcased at Paris Deco Off this January, where Pierre Frey’s house transported visitors to the desert with its sweeping, sunny tones and tactile finishes. Individually, each element is drawn from the best interior design trends of the past few years, but it is the combination that captures the mood of the moment — a look that feels both grounding and transportive.
It can bring a quiet yet powerful elegance to modern interiors. It also aligns with SS25 fashion trends, where we saw flowing silhouettes and organic forms, and designers like Chloé and Stella McCartney embracing earthy clay tones and sustainable materials.
