Autumn Oneders

With inside tips on the season’s hottest trends and how to recreate them, THE One brings you home fashion to ‘fall’ for with their inspiring Autumn/Winter 2009 Collection.

 

Give your home a Zen-like feel with THE One’s SOPHISTICasian trend. Feminine and contemporary, the style blends hues of white, black, grey and silver with touches of pink and purple. Here it’s all about balance, clean lines and symmetry. Think marble, stone, chrome, glass and ceramics combined with smooth leather, shimmering velvet and rich dark woods. Contrast these edgy urban elements with exotic Far Eastern pieces to create a distinctive polished look.

 

For a sophisticated lounge setting with Asian flair, pair the velvety SPOT sofa in silver-grey with the ATHENA coffee table and sleek stainless steel LEO entertaining unit and cabinet. Soften the scene with a fluffy plum PIRRO rug, scatter cushions and pink blossoms in over-sized metallic vases. Top it off with a couple of bamboo art prints, tall candles and WILLOW floor screens for a balanced design that exudes elegance.

 

When it comes to SOPHISTICasian entertaining, adopt a minimalist approach by opting for the PAULO dining table in dark grey and pink leather REMI dining chairs with chic chrome legs. Set the table with pure white porcelain, wooden trays and grey and black napkins, while adding subtle Asian touches to the PAULO sideboard in the form of a ginger jar and cherry blossoms. For instant ambience, a few pillar candles and the stunning chrome RIANZA pendant lamp will do the trick.

 

Give your bedroom the tactile treatment with the sumptuously soft NAP bed in grey velvet. Layer it in white cotton, a plush purple throw and cushions for added comfort and colour. The impressive ASIAMAN sculpture and JAMEEL ceiling lamps in matte silver are great add-ons to ensure a dreamy effect.

 

Alternatively, go for a mature, masculine look with THE One’s Eclectic Charm trend, which fuses colonial and contemporary elements with interesting ‘collector’s items’ from across the globe. Here the base is dark and woody featuring an array of brown hues brought to life with mustard, cream and old gold. Blend leather hides, black chrome and a variety of fabrics for a comfortable, chilled-out atmosphere that feels more lived-in than showy.

 

Get the look in the living room by starting with THE One’s invitingly chunky SAMIR sofa in brown leather. Add a wooden coffee and side table as well as a metal frame bookcase where you can display a combination of cool curios from your adventures. While a leather FIORE footstool will provide the perfect perch for a traveller’s weary feet, a variety of cushion covers, throw and fluffy rug will warm-up the overall look-and-feel. Use subtle lighting in the way of a pair of CATHRYN table lamps and a white NEO floor lamp, while creating interest with lanterns and chunky candles in different sizes and heights grouped on a tray. Natural textures like twigs, a few well-placed organic sculptures and a GEMBOK skull will work a charm to complete this eclectic set-up.

 

Continue the theme in the dining room with the oval-shaped FANTI dining table and velvety ANANDI dining chairs in green brown. Keep the table setting simple with green handmade XANADU crockery, crystal clear glasses and a LALANG floor stand as a unique centrepiece. Position a pair of NEO pendant lamps over the table as a grand finale.

 

Make a macho statement in the bedroom with the dramatic bronze RAZE bed, SOLETO leather chair and man’s best friend – a dog sculpture. Go for black and brown bedding with a hint of white and create individual wall features by hanging bold artwork above the headboard or grouping picture frames together.

 

If 60’s design gets your pulse racing then THE One’s Fresh Fusion trend is for you. Modern, bright and airy with a delicate feminine touch, this playful style includes soft whites, light grey, vivid orange and apple greens. Organic materials, rescued woods, glass, Plexiglass, plastic and matte fabrics combined with generously plump sofas and simple, streamlined furniture sums up this harmonious trend.

 

Transform your lounge into a haven of funky freshness with the comfy HOU sofa in off-white and slender SIXTIES coffee and side tables in light brown wood. Liven up the look with lustrous lighting by including a BAILY table lamp and white CELINE floor lamp. Have fun accessorising with colourful cushion covers, trendy throws, a black BLOSSOM floor screen and wooden vases. Make room for reflection with a pair of mirrors and enjoy.

 

Fall in love with home fashion this season thanks to THE One’s exciting Autumn/Winter Collection!
