A Warm Welcome to 2025 with Florabelle Living
At Florabelle, inspiration is at the heart of everything we do—whether it’s through our carefully curated product range, our social media and marketing, or events like this.
To kick things off, we welcomed our guest designers, including Aimee Van Dyck, and our partners at Style Source Book, who introduced their new Project Studio tool. Together, we explored how designers can streamline their creative process while sourcing from Florabelle Living’s extensive range—spanning furniture, lighting, decor, textiles, and greenery.
Key Trends Shaping the Year Ahead
Before diving into live demonstrations, we shared some of the major trends driving design in 2025—and how our new season collection reflects them.
1. Rattan: A Timeless Favorite
Through our OneWorld Collection, we’ve developed an expansive range of rattan pieces—think lighting, coffee tables, dining chairs, and outdoor seating. Loved for its natural warmth and versatility, rattan continues to be a standout material across coastal, modern, and eclectic aesthetics.
2. The Power of Layered Textiles
This season, we’ve expanded our textiles category across all brands. From richly textured cushions to luxurious throws, our new collection makes it easier than ever to add warmth, depth, and personality to any space.
3. Bold Statements with MRD Home
Our MRD Home collection is all about sculptural, eye-catching furniture. With a growing demand for statement pieces, this season’s selection includes bold forms, striking silhouettes, and high-end finishes designed to leave a lasting impact.
4. Elevating Spaces with Emac & Lawton Lighting
Lighting is the unsung hero of design, and Emac & Lawton continues to lead the way with cutting-edge, high-impact lighting solutions. Whether it’s stunning pendants over a dining table or wall lights that transform an outdoor setting, this collection is all about making an impact with illumination.
Introducing Style Source Book’s Project Studio
One of the most exciting parts of the event was the introduction of Project Studio, the latest innovation from Style Source Book. This tool is designed to simplify the design process—allowing designers to create, manage, and present their projects seamlessly.
The live demo with Aimee Van Dyck showcased how designers can use Project Studio to pull product specifications directly from their mood boards—saving time and ensuring consistency across projects.
A Morning of Inspiration & Connection
Beyond the insights and presentations, the real magic happened in the conversations—as designers shared ideas, discussed upcoming projects, and explored new ways to work with Florabelle Living and Style Source Book.
With a room full of industry experts, the energy was infectious. From concept to completion, our goal is to support designers at every stage—offering a seamless sourcing experience, premium products, and industry insights that inspire creativity.
Looking Ahead
As we step into 2025, we’re excited to continue curating collections that empower designers, offering the best in furniture, lighting, decor, and textiles—all in one place.
