"2023 is the year of the mermaid! Mermaidcore has been making waves - influencing fashion, beauty and homeware trends, with beach inspired hues and ethereal, ocean-themed pieces.

There are some simple ways you can tap into the trend in your home, with decor and accessories to achieve one of TikTok’s favourite trends for summer, from the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and more.

Ocean hues - Take a deep sea stylish dive into Mermaidcore with uplifting, joyful shades of sea blues and pastel jewel tones. Add splashes of playful pink, pearl blush and lilac to offset the darker shades of blue and bring some fun to the overall look.
Scalloped edges - A subtle nod to the sea, scalloped edges will add soft lines, with shell-shaped curves that can be seen on everything from cushions, vases, pillowcases and lighting. The key is in the detail with this look and incorporating a few curved edged pieces into a room will add a whimsical feel.
Surrounded by the sea - Take inspiration from the magic and mystery of the sea with hints of nautical touches in your decor to bring the trend to life. Think starfish, coral and cute seahorses, for a look Ariel herself would feel at home in!"
