Dallas, TX: Paige Morse

Tennille Burnup, from Tennille Joy Interiors, says desert wanderer is one of her favourite trends for 2017. She sees it as inspired by ancient cultures, a desire for a less rushed approach to modern life. “Translated into interiors it’s about primitive, raw elements, old textile techniques and rug work, borrowing and adapting traditional tribal patterns from old cultures, like Aztec and Moroccan.”

Nomadic nuances Are you ready to be a ‘global nomad’ or a ‘desert wanderer’? Perhaps you’ve always been one, but now this strong trend has a name, coined by UK trend forecasting agency Scarlet Opus. It defines a marked drift towards eclectic combinations of artefacts and styles from other cultures and an increasing appreciation for artisan objects and crafts, inspired by past travels in exotic locations. It seems to be driven by a realisation of just how complicated our lives have become and how beneficial it is to embrace simplicity, if only in the small space we call home.

Neutral drop cloth with patterned fabric over it

General furniture, layout, and table

I like a sofa who doesnt die from a stain

Like the eclectic feel, don't know if I'd use it in my home

the love seat in the back would be a great pattern in front of our window.

burlap curtain panels - interesting, drop cloth sofa cover?

The large pillow or maybe it's two together? Center of room.

Burlap curtains, love all the textures...

Love this house and the wall color

Could these curtain panels work in my bedroom?
