DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE
Walls inspired by ( playful ) nature As well as botanical interiors that sprouted from maximalism , organic textures in surface design have evolved in 2024 – no longer is this trend purely about referencing nature . Instead , it has moved on to embrace playfulness , something that boutique hotels are able to wholly embrace .
Asrin Wallprint captivated attendees with their enchanting and vibrant digitally printed wallpapers . Meanwhile , ATA Designs showcased a selection of textured wall coverings , inspired by ‘ all things British ’. Adding an artistic dimension to interior design , Joris Kuipers introduced the BERM collection , which brings the essence of the outdoors inside through its organic , leaf-like structures , creating a sculptural texture that breathes life into any space .

A sense of comfort Curved , soft-edges and organic shapes , in both furniture and lighting design , were showcased by various exhibitors during the show . Corston , for example , presented its Brookfield lighting collection to inject a refined yet understated elegance to contemporary interiors . The pendant ’ s elegant threetiered shade features a seamless blend of modern minimalism and classic design .
This trend was also explored through the various products and technology displayed by bed manufacturers such as Hypnos , Naturalmat and Silentnight Group , all introducing new materials inspired by the science of sleep .
Exploring this concept away from FF & E , Crown International ’ s Clean Air range of paint , which is 99 per cent free of VOCs , is made from water-based air
purifying technology formulation . As a result , the paint absorbs chemicals and removes up to 45 per cent of the formaldehyde present from the air .
Elsewhere , the QuietRoom , curated by EventWell , brought this trend to life . The quiet space provided a nook away from the bustling show floor for attendees to unwind and become sensory decompressed in a calming environment .
