Leading textile manufacturer, Warwick Fabrics, has worked with the design team at PGH Bricks to pull together four inspiring fashion-forward, style-conscious interior palettes for 2022.
This exciting new collaboration pairs the beauty of brick with the warmth of textiles in beautiful combinations of colours, textures, and patterns to create looks and moods that will keep you in style for the next decade.
We think it’s time to bring bricks indoors in creative ways – think feature walls, fireplaces and decorative details, particularly in living spaces and kitchens. Beautifully crafted bricks provide texture and interest and highlight the return to natural materials that is being seen everywhere from Melbourne to Milan.
The use of bricks inside also reinforces the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces – bringing cohesion to the overall aesthetic of modern design schemes.
Warwick Fabrics Interior Colour Forecast - About the looks
Wayfarer - A worldly and eclectic theme with a refined bohemian feel that captures our desire to travel and escape challenging times, along with a connection to people and culture. Matched with PGH’s Dark & Stormy style, this palette features luxurious design details, allowing the architecture to take centre stage with a sense of drama that is anything but sombre.
Terrain - Warwick Fabrics’ Terrain collection celebrates beauty and nature in the Australian landscape. Unique and versatile, it offers designs that pay homage to our land and history through texture and colour play. A perfect match with PGH’s Natural Habitat style, this aesthetic reflects the move to sustainable living, pairing earthy browns and gentle neutrals with sophisticated and refined whites using nature as a cue.
Cocoon - Atmospheric and connective, Cocoon is a minimal aesthetic that creates spaces to come together that are comfortable, peaceful, and homely. Cocoon reflects its name, creating a cool, calm aesthetic, which works well with an exterior that evokes the Hamptons At Home Style identified by PGH Bricks. This classic, fresh and relaxed style is a perfect mix of a coastal aesthetic combined with sophisticated modern elegance, especially the classic charm of PGH Bricks' Simply Hamptons range in Fresh White.
Futurity - Escape into a futuristic dreamscape, with Warwick Fabrics’ Futurity collection, celebrating a new era of design that is edgy and encourages creativity. Match with the Luxury Noir Style from PGH Bricks for exteriors, which evokes similar opulence. This indulgent and bespoke style is made up of dark blacks and charcoals, perfectly complementing rich jewel tones in textiles and accessories.

Forecasting Interior Trends
The business of forecasting interior trends is serious stuff. The design team from Warwick Fabrics spend the better part of the year researching what’s happening in the world of design – and what might be coming next – to stay one step ahead of the consumer.
And Cam Warwick says that while these last couple of years have been a little different, trend forecasting has continued.
“Normally our design team will travel locally and internationally to textile trade shows, London Design Week and trend forecasting lectures/workshops promoting the latest textures, colours, patterns, etc,” he says.
“During Covid times, these events have continued, but shifted to online platforms.”
Where To Use Bricks Inside
If you are looking to add the textural and natural style of brick to your interiors, brickwork can be incorporated as feature walls, fireplace surrounds, or even architectural elements such as flooring, archways and kitchen splashbacks – the opportunities are endless.
With trend experts seeing a return to softer, rounded shapes inside, bricks are also ideally placed to provide textural layers and still offer the flexibility of curved or sculptural profiles in internal walls or even kitchen islands.
