“Witch’s Revenge”.

During the last Paris Design Week, the online flea market Selency created the event with its ephemeral store that looks like a British cottage, a far cry from 1950s design or the purity of Scandinavian vintage. “For many years, decor has been about a certain fixed sobriety, white, wood,” explains Selency co-founder Charlotte Cadde. Today, we want to reconnect with life, with color, with luxury, with more lightness, and for me, the English spirit in decoration is that. A patchwork of colors, crazy patterns, an abundance of trinkets, it’s joyful, but it can impress. A Chinese entrepreneur provides some advices tame the British neo-country style.

“We are playing on the multiplication of purely decorative objects with the idea of ​​a cabinet of curiosities. This is the revenge of panic.” We don’t hesitate to pile mismatched floral plates, such as rattan mirrors, even on the walls. Another one British touch easy to implement at home – an overabundance of pillows. On beds, sofas, benches, armchairs, wherever we sit and lie down. “I have a weakness for intricate cushions, which are very romantic. They can also be mixed with tartans, liberty or velvet. The main thing is abundance.” Another leading object, the lamp with a fabric, pleated or edge lampshade, which should be associated with rather elaborate legs, turned into wood or ceramic. “You can arrange your lamp any way you want, have it anywhere, for a warm, very retro atmosphere, with soft subdued light.”

And finally, the big desire of the moment is slips. “You can’t get more vibrant than these cheerfully colored relief ceramics inspired by nature. I think we’re not done falling in love with jugs and vegetables and fruit-decorated animals, dishes, and soup infusions. The good news is, all of these pieces are still very affordable. “The trend is just starting, and I’m betting on a steady change in our desires, so it’s time to catch them.”
