Drifting into Summer

Perennials unveils the Sun Kissed collection for 2025

Perennials, the renowned international design leader in luxury performance textiles and wallcoverings, sets the tone for summer 2025 with the launch of its newest collection, Sun Kissed. As the name suggests, the collection channels the gentle serenity of open waters and warm breezes, offering an immersive design experience that celebrates movement, light and calm through refined patterns, textures and tones.

A collection of wallcovering and rug designs that captures the movement and serenity of being on the water and is filled with calming tones and metallic hints, the Sun Kissed wallcoverings offer a variety of styles to compliment any aesthetic. Whilst the Sky Sail style is a Type II Performance design inspired by the billow of sails in the wind, Even Keel features duotone rippling lines that effortlessly traverse the wall. An additional duotone pattern, Starboard, offers vertical movement with crisp flowing lines.  Mimicking the appearance of gold and silver leaf walls, Chock-a-Block is a metallic design featuring an organic grid pattern, and Clean Slate is a woven-inspired design that offers incredible dimension to any space. The interplay of pattern and texture results in a sophisticated wallcovering that is ideal for layering. 

Perennials has also designed five new 100% solution-dyed acrylic hand-tufted rugs that evoke summertime bliss. Seaside features a layered foliage design that brings inside a bit of the outdoors. Starboard, meanwhile, features the same linear pattern as the homonymous wallcovering. Matching the rippling effect of the wallcovering, Even Keel is a duotone rug design available in Soapstone and a nautical Vintage Blue. High Seas is a tranquil hand-tufted design reminiscent of the way water plays with light; featuring a free-flowing pattern, High Seas is available in a peaceful Breakers colourway. Sky Sail provides a breath of fresh air to any space with a fluid graphic design.

Woven from fine 100% solution-dyed acrylic yarn, Perennials’ fade-, mildew- and UV-resistant rugs are able to stand up to life’s everyday adventures without sacrificing great design, making them uniquely suited to fit beautifully with any indoor or outdoor aesthetic. Hand-tufted rugs from the Sun Kissed collection are customisable according to size and colour, so you are able to tweak to compliment your spaces.
