Interior design trends: Focus on fir green

WHILE the pastel hues of previous seasons brought a fresh, breezy feel to interiors, the nascent trend for darker, richer shades is set to bring a cosier and more luxurious feel to homes.
Here's a look at some of the on-trend creations spotted at the recent Maison & Objet interior design and decoration trade show in Paris, France.

The fruit of this new collaboration is the label's first collection of carpets, with a minimalist aesthetic, made from Dutch and Portuguese wools.
