The trends from London Fashion Week that will work in your home too

London Fashion Week 2018 not only saw Victoria Beckham busting moves to the Spice Girls at her Vogue party, but it also showcased some hot new trends.

Hailed as one of the most diverse fashion weeks ever, it leaves behind an array of inspiring ideas hot off the spring/summer 2019 catwalks.

Keep one step ahead of the interiors pack and update your home with these four interiors-friendly fashion trends that will be filling your wardrobe next year.

MONOCHROME

Making her LFW debut, former T4 presenter Alexa Chung stepped out after showcasing her first show "Arrivals and Departures" in chic monochrome.

She wasn't the only one who was inspired by black and white.

Victoria Beckham also opted for the classic look in her first LFW catwalk designs.

Mixed textures helped to bring the combination up to date.

One of the most simple ways to update your kitchen is to invest in some new dinnerware.

Available in store only, Tesco has released a new monochrome set, starting from just 90p, inspired by Scandinavia.

Alternatively, Danish brand Design Letters offer a range of black and white initial mugs, starting from £14.50.

ANIMAL

The British Fashion Council vowed to be one of the first of the big four fashion weeks to be complete fur-free and they kept to their promise.

With real fur out of the equation, designers introduced cruelty-free animal prints to spice up their designs.

Burberry's new Chief Creative Director Riccardo Tisci showed off vibrant leopard print alongside the brand's signature checked print.

But how can you introduce this wild print into your home?

Dip your foot into the trend with this leopard print lampshade with neon orange lining, priced £40, from Love Frankie.

STRIPES

Irish-born Richard Malone kicked off the LFW festivities with his colourful show.

Making an effort to use sustainable fabrics, Malone moved away from conventional stripes and instead opted for a variety of directions with them intersecting and blurring into each other.

Made from a hand-spun wool/cotton combination, this orange and navy rug from Habitat, priced at £250, is perfect for adding a splash of colour to the living room.

TAXI-CAB YELLOW

From the front row to the catwalk, taxi-cab yellow is everywhere.

Eco design duo Vin + Omi used the sunshine shade in their new collection, made from thread spun from melted-down single-use plastic bottles.

Create a statement on a neutral wall with a yellow cast-iron radiator, starting from £408, from Bisque.
