HEATHER YOUNG CHANNELS THE JOY OF CHERISHING THE PAST

A key trend sweeping through interiors at the moment is something old dressed up as something new! Coined nostalgia-core, this trend is one I’ve been embracing since I moved into my first home over 20 years ago. Drawing on design inspiration from the past, nostalgia-core is all about forging a deeper connection with your home by incorporating styles or pieces that hold cherished memories. I have always liked to include furniture from my grandparents’ house. In fact, some of my favourite pieces go back to previous generations, hailing from the homes of great- or even great-great-grandparents. The refectory table that I use as a desk, where I’m currently sat, is a prime example.
