Spaces that glow with nostalgia, quiet romance, and lunar glamour, these are interiors that feel alive with mood and memory.

If you’ve been following Curation Edit for a while, you already know how much we love discovering fresh interior design trends not just because they’re beautiful, but because they’re steeped in history, mood, and brilliant storytelling.


Recently, three particular trends have truly caught our imagination: Seventies Revival, English Cottage, and Cosmic Deco. Here’s why they intrigue us, a bit of cultural context, and how you can bring each into your own home (because honestly, I think you’ll fall for them too!).


Seventies Revival — Where nostalgia meets soul

"The 70s were about living honestly and warmly — not minimalism, but materialism done right," notes interior designer Jonathan Adler in Architectural Digest.

Seventies Revival is all about warmth wrapped in quiet funk, a thoughtful ode to an era of earthiness, community, and rebellion. Inspired by the soulful interiors of the 1970s, this trend reclaims rich textures and unapologetic materials like smoked glass, corduroy, rattan but with a curated restraint that makes it feel contemporary rather than kitsch.

It reminds you to slow down, put on a record, and let the room glow.

How to bring Seventies Revival into your home:

  • Colour Palette: Earthy tones with depth — caramel, ochre, avocado green, and warm neutrals.

  • Furniture & Accessories: Rounded, low-slung sofas in velvet or corduroy, teak and walnut wood pieces, smoked glass coffee tables.

  • Decor: Vintage record players, ceramic lamps, and amber glassware for that quiet 70s charm.

  • Patterns: Geometric rugs, sunburst mirrors, and subtle botanical prints.

If you love: vinyl records, hosting warm dinner parties, the scent of old books, and rooms that feel alive with texture — this trend is for you. It’s for someone who values soulful imperfection over sterile minimalism, and who wants their home to glow like golden hour.

English Cottage — Where quiet grace speaks louder than grandeur

"The English Cottage style isn’t about trying to impress — it’s about living with what you love," says designer Rita Konig to Elle Decor.

English Cottage is a love letter to quiet living, a style that wraps you in linen, stone, and soft light. Rooted in rural English heritage and now popularised through the Cottagecore movement, it celebrates imperfection and presence. Every chipped vase, every faded book tells its own small story.

This aesthetic feels particularly poignant now, when we’re craving intimacy and grace in our homes spaces that feel like a retreat from the world.

How to bring English Cottage into your home:

  • Colour Palette: Muted and natural creams, dusty rose, moss green, pale saffron.

  • Textiles & Patterns: Soft linens, floral chintz cushions, checked throws, faded vintage rugs.

  • Furniture & Decor: Painted wooden chairs, stoneware vases, worn oak tables, shelves brimming with novels and ceramics.

  • Details: Fresh flowers, lace curtains, antique picture frames to give that tender, timeworn charm.

If you love: curling up with a novel on a rainy afternoon, fresh flowers on the table, antique finds at flea markets, and spaces that feel intimate and unpretentious, this is for you. It’s perfect if you crave a home that’s gentle, layered, and quietly charming.

Cosmic Deco — Where moonlight meets glamour

"There’s something deeply human about looking up and wanting our spaces to reflect that wonder," says trend forecaster Lidewij Edelkoort in Dezeen.

Cosmic Deco is for those who dream in chrome and velvet. Taking cues from Art Deco’s structured luxury but giving it a surreal, celestial twist, this trend celebrates moonlit glamour and cinematic moods.

It feels both vintage and futuristic as though you’ve stumbled into a quiet galaxy where everything glows just a little.

How to bring Cosmic Deco into your home:

  • Colour Palette: Midnight blue, blush pink, silver, mirrored surfaces to reflect light.

  • Furniture & Accessories: Sculptural velvet armchairs, mirrored coffee tables, chrome light fixtures.

  • Decor: Starburst chandeliers, lunar-themed artwork, crystal spheres, moody drapes.

  • Lighting: Warm, layered lighting sconces, candles, and pendant lights that cast gentle shadows.

If you love: stargazing, vintage cinema, a little drama in your decor, and rooms that feel like a dream you haven’t quite woken from, this trend is for you. It’s for someone who doesn’t mind being centre stage in their own story, with a touch of mystery and sparkle.

Why We're Loving These Trends Right Now

For us, interiors are always about mood, memory, and meaning, how a space holds you and tells your story back to you. That’s why these three aesthetics resonate so deeply.

Seventies Revival invites warmth and texture into modern life while English Cottage reminds us to honour grace and quiet joy and Cosmic Deco asks us to dream bigger, to embrace a bit of wonder.

"Your home is the story of who you are, and a collection of what you love," as Nate Berkus famously said.

And truly, what could be more beautiful than curating your own story, room by room?
