Modern Folk Interiors
Posted on
Modern Folk is an interior trend that Top Drawer in partnership with Press Loft predicts for this winter: 'the modern folk interior trend shares the same qualities of vintage style but uses deeper colours. This trend will be sure to make a statement to any interior space. To achieve the Modern Folk look, use bold colours, unique prints, handmade accessories, vintage soft furnishings and funky fabrics'.

The result is well priced art bought direct from the artist.
