How To Get The Always Sunday Look: Pattern & Colour Drenching Tips

If you’ve ever scrolled through our Instagram or stayed at one of our colourful boltholes in Bath, you’ll know that the Always Sunday look is instantly recognisable. And totally unforgettable.

Our signature style? Think "English country cottage meets a luxury Miami hotel". It’s a curated clash of countryside charm, retro design, maximalist interiors, and serious attention to detail.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to get the look home decor lovers can’t stop talking about. From pattern drenching to vintage hotel glamour, here’s how to bring Always Sunday into your home with our five signature styles.

1. Embrace Pattern Drenching Interiors

What once was considered a design faux pas is now the mark of confident interior lovers. Pattern drenching interiors - mixing bold florals with stripes, chevrons with damasks - is at the heart of the Always Sunday aesthetic.

It’s no secret our founder Lexi has a soft spot for bold wallpaper, and even bolder pattern play. She’s layered dramatic prints from friends, design duo Jamie and Tom of Divine Savages, across her own home, and even onto the vaulted ceilings of our Always Sunday Boltholes. For her, more really is more. Rather than dialling it down, she leans into pattern drenching with full force.

Bring it home with our Dagny limited edition cushions - a riot of colour and pattern, ready to mix and match.

2. Why Colour Drenching Home Decor Works

At Always Sunday, we don’t just embrace colour drenching, we take it to house-wide heights. Each of our luxury Boltholes in Bath is built around a signature shade, weaving that hue into every corner of the space to create a bold, cohesive design story.

We’re not saying every room needs to be Barbie Dreamhouse pink (although we wouldn’t rule it out), but choosing one standout colour and letting it echo throughout adds instant depth and intention.

Take Daylily Cottage, our moody, romantic retreat. It’s hero tone? A lush, leafy green. You’ll see it in the sitting room’s painted ceiling, in vintage-style light switches made of porcelain, in enamel oven trays, and in the velvet throws draped across every bed. It’s immersive, unexpected, and unmistakably Always Sunday.

3. Layer in Luxurious Textures

At Always Sunday, we’re forever chasing that “Sunday morning in a five-star hotel” feeling. The kind that wraps you in comfort and quiet luxury. A big part of that magic lies in texture.

The classics are classics for a reason: cool marble underfoot, crisp linen on the table, antique brass accents, and the soft weight of a velvet throw. But we also love a twist. Our limited-edition Dagny cushions are made from a silk alternative that delivers all the opulence, minus the dry cleaning.

And from Italy, Uashmama’s beautifully crafted storage looks like soft leather, but it’s actually made from sustainable paper. Surprising, tactile, and effortlessly stylish.

4. Invest in Vintage Home Accessories

In a world where fast fashion and throwaway trends dominate, timeless craftsmanship can feel like a rare find. At Always Sunday, vintage homewares are more than just an aesthetic, they’re a design philosophy.

These pieces don't just offer lasting quality, but a sense of history, charm and soul that modern mass-produced items can't compete with. Because let’s be honest, nothing adds personality to a room quite like a pair of porcelain pups or a sleek smoked-glass bar set straight out of the Sixties.

5. Channel Vintage Travel Inspiration

The Always Sunday style draws heavily from the golden age of luxury travel. Think tan leather suitcases on brass hotel trolleys gliding across lobby floors, signature espresso martinis sipped at marble bars, and the warm glow of art deco lighting casting you as the star of your own old-Hollywood scene.

Bring that indulgent hotel atmosphere home with vintage-inspired travel accessories, elegant Georgian-style glassware, soft linen tablecloths, and our Fieldbar champagne coolers, designed to echo the charm of classic steamer trunks.
