WATCH: Milou Ket on Interior Trends for 2013/14 at D+D

On her 6th trip to Australia, internationally acclaimed trend forecaster, Milou Ket returned to a packed design crowd at Decoration + Design eager to learn from her global travels and explore the emerging design themes for the 2013/14 home.

Milou shared her inspiring vision of future materials, structures and form in product development, including bedding, bath, ceramics and more.

We took five with the inspiring styling and design forecaster post-seminar to chat further on her latest book; scouring the globe from Paris to Shanghai to source new trends and design content; and her own home that sticks to a minimalist, clean aesthetic.

Fit for a country cottage…

As you take to the white weather board steps, a smell of fresh scones invites you into the rustic kitchen while the fireplace crackles quietly in the background. But the `ol country house wouldn’t be complete without man’s best friend. They are the first point of contact before you even open the gate and the friendly farmhouse mascot.

So it’s no surprise Country House has imported these lovely tapestry woven cushions from Jules Pansu in France. Each cushion has a woven tapestry front, complemented by a neutral fabric back, a perfect addition for any home to add some friendly flair to your couch.

We have already featured Jules Pansu Picasso cushion series available from Country House, and their Georg Jensen Damask collection of classic and stylish table linen, bed linen, bathroom and kitchen linen on Decoration + Design Blog. Both these companies have been producing quality homewares for over 200 years.



Country House will launch the new designs of Pansu cushions, bags & tapestries, Jensen table and kitchen linen at Decoration + Design from July 19-22 at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre. To register, visit decorationdesign.com.au/register
