Interior Trends “Shop Local Buy British”
With all that we encountered in 2020 and the current need to stay local and stay home, there is a trend towards shopping and sourcing local and handmade. We are now choosing to support and protect local British businesses. There is also no doubt that we have also become more conscious that we are an island, with the focus on Brexit and our formal departure from Europe earlier this year.
We are choosing British made. Not only has Lockdown reduced our air miles, but we are also seeking to reduce our environmental impact. Increasingly there’s a focus on one off hand made products. These are used to add a bespoke, personal feel to a room. We’re seeing more young people taking on apprenticeships in handmade products, and fabric houses and furniture makers are manufacturing in the UK.
Here are just some of my favourite designers, demonstrating quality British design and craftmanship.
I love these cushions, they are hand printed and made in Britain @raptureandwright and we’ve just put some of these in our latest Barn project.
