Anna Weylandt, buyer and designer at Weylandts, has drawn inspiration from her travels and shares her thoughts on trends for interiors this summer.
“We are seeing a lot of fresh greenery for indoor and outdoor coming through for the summer, both in the use of materials and real plants,” she said.
“In Milan I saw this use of greenery, particularly with large plants for indoor spaces. There is strong use of wall colours such as rust, dark emerald and dirty navyblue.

“At Weylandts we are favouring a strong black and white pallet for interiors, with bold steel furniture pieces and soft grey leathers, punctuated by strong green leaves,” she said.
Anna has selected her ten favourite items from Weylandts that reflect these trends, which includes the new fern leaf scatter cushion range. Add the quirky grey Springboard Diver figure and a beautiful potted plant to create the look.
“At Weylandts we are very aware of a trend towards people moving away from large suburban properties to smaller city living apartments, and in Japan I was inspired by the innovative ways people adapt to living in small spaces, particularly with the use of modular kitchens and furniture.
The Weylandts Insel modular storage range works to address this, and the Manhattan modular sofa introduced earlier this year provides the quality and luxury of the well-known Weylandts modular sofa ranges, in proportions better suited to smaller spaces.
“The most exciting furniture I saw this year was from Baxter in Italy, particularly at Milan Salon de Mobile. Their use of stitching details and material juxtaposition was incredible,” she said.

The new Easy Living modular sofa from Weylandts has beautiful teeth-stitched detailing and is made with feather-filled cushions and 100% linen slipcovers.
One of Anna’s top picks from the modular sofa ranges is the Mondu Modular, which consists of three elements which can be arranged to create endless configurations.
The simplicity of this design makes it as versatile as it is handsome. With only 3 elements — a corner unit, an armless seat and a square ottoman — the Mondu can be put together seamlessly in a variety of ways to suit your space and mood. 2-seater, daybed, corner unit: it’s up to you.
The neutral light grey durable fabric blends in with just about any colour palette, while the clever, simple design makes it stand out amongst other high-quality modular sofas for its affordability.
Modern, minimalist and modestly priced, this modular is made for the moment you put your feet up after a long day.
