he Autumn months are just around the corner, bringing with them the perfect opportunity to give your home a luxe, new season makeover. And this year, it’s all about sophistication, with the ‘Modern Renaissance’ trend having a real resurgence.
As its name would suggest, the trend offers a modern twist on the classical and decorative Renaissance aesthetic, creating a blend of modern elegance and historical charm.
Think heritage romance vibes - rich colour palettes of dusky blue, rose and sage, intricate prints, and The White Lotus style romantic furnishings, from sculptural vases to decorative busts.
While we may think of classical Italian-style furnishings being primed to break the bank, it's absolutely possible to follow this elegant interiors trend on a budget, so long as you head to the right place.
Enter George Home, launching its very own ‘Modern Renaissance’ collection this season, featuring stylish interiors, from bedding and bathware to furniture and ceramics. And with prices starting at just £4, the new offerings are affordable without compromising on quality.
With a few new additions and some simple steps, here’s how you can lean into the trend and give your home a sophisticated refresh this season…

A new colour palette is key for an interiors refresh, and for sophistication this season, George Home has you covered. We’re talking rich hues of dusky blue, rose, and mustard, with deep greens, sages and mauves, paired with elegant fabrics.
Soft furnishings are a great place to start when creating a new aesthetic, with George Home offering a selection of stylish bedding in romantic tones. And with elegant duvet sets starting at just £10, any additional budget can be spent on the brand’s ‘Modern Renaissance’ bath mats, towels, cushions and throws, allowing you to maintain a consistent (and on-trend) colour scheme throughout your home.
Create a romantic colour palette
Signature details of the ‘Modern Renaissance’ trend include scallop trims and sculptural decor. And by investing in a few statement pieces this season, you can give your home a sophisticated revamp.
George Home’s new range features a wide selection of elegant furnishings, with chic scallop side tables in pinks and greens starting at £25. Not to mention scallop edged cushions, scallop bath mats and soft-as-you-like wiggle edge cotton towels. Sicilian-style ceramic female busts and Instagram-worthy ribbed vases add a statement sculptural touch.
Embrace scallop trims and sculptural decor
Bold patterns and intricate prints are essential to a sophisticated home makeover, particularly when it comes to soft furnishings, with curtains, rugs, bedding and throws being go-tos for vibrant designs.
Bedding is a good place to start with bright patterns, but bathware is the area to really push the boat out. And to offset the hard enamel bathroom aesthetic, George Home has a range of plush towels in Scallop Stripe and Ditsy Patchwork designs. Not to mention, shapely ‘Modern Renaissance’ bath mats in an array of romantic colourways to match.
Bold soft furnishings are key
With bold patterns, rich colour schemes and statement pieces aplenty, it can be easy to get carried away with the ‘Modern Renaissance’ aesthetic, but simplicity is actually key to the trend. And in order to balance the strong shades and prints, it’s important to invest in classic cream furnishings too.
George Home’s stylish new collection also caters for this, featuring simple and classic home staples to maintain an elegant feel. Embellish with white tufted bathware, cream cotton jars and tumblers, and fluffy yarn cushions in neutral tones. Not to mention, chic white vintage tableware, with a 12-piece vintage dinner set costing just £30 this season - the perfect touch for a sophisticated home makeover.
