What makes a house a
home? Look
around your space an
d imagine it
without the soft bea
uty of textiles.
Would it feel so hom
ely? Textiles
matter for making a
space your own,
for adding comfort a
nd the welcome
feeling home should
always give you.
But more than that,
textiles let you
change a space easil
y, in infinite
ways, and let you cr
eate the story
of your home exactly
as you want it.
I hope this issue in
spires you to
make a difference wi
th textiles in
your home.

me look at the renovation from a different
perspective. I guess it helped motivate me
to get things done. Here are some of the

bored easily, so I'm constantly updating objects
and making them look new. A rug or bedspread can
completely change a room. And with textiles, the
only limit is your imagination last winter

MAKING IT MORE RELEVANT
We used real-life scenarios to
sharpen our approach. Take
moving in together: Will you
have to give up your style or
preferences? No! We show a
bedroom that mixes two extreme
styles, but looks good. You can
have high pillows and low pillows,
different quilts, even different
mattresses on the same bed.
WHATS THE STORY?
With textiles it doesnt have to be
complicated to be creative. These
pictures are from a set-up we
made to show how easy and
cheap it can be to throw a party.
We started with the idea of bring
your own chair. Push some
benches and tables together,
add textiles, let people bring
a chair, some food, drink We
picked a backyard for this rather
than a grassy space to show
you can make the ordinary look
special with fabric and easy ideas.

for the new HEKTAR range of lamps.
I started by designing the spotlight and
liked the way it turned out, says Ola.
The simple metal form with the matt

Fall back in love with natureWe have a long-term relationship with nature, say Sissi and Lisa, the designers behind the fantasy leaf pattern on the new VERENS plates. If you live an urban life, it becomes more important to bring nature into your home. The colours and motifs are soothing and really help you unwind. Having green in your home is a reminder that even if the leaves are falling, theyll come back again in spring.
