A favourite amongst the RSG team, After Midnight embraces all the key elements of Rockett St George's signature style. As a result, you can expect to find all things fabulous, quirky and eclectic in this trend edit. Inspired by our recent 15-year Anniversary Collection, this look reveals designs influenced by RSG icons, with simple modern updates.
“Championing maximalist glamour, influences for the After Midnight trend range from Studio 54 and Art Deco design. However, there is no denying that stars take centre stage. In short, star motifs have been an important source of inspiration within our collection since we launched in 2007. After all, there is something uniquely magical and endlessly beautiful about the sky at night. Embroidered across everything from cushions to curtains, our collection captures the celestial magic of midnight skies.
In addition to signature star patterns, the After Midnight trend embraces sumptuous velvet reminiscent of secret speakeasy bars. Moreover, we couldn’t reveal an After Midnight trend without the ultimate party icon, the glitter ball. Disco balls are treasured items in my home and create incredible reflections of light when the sun is shining.
Although great individually, bringing all of the elements of the After Midnight trend together allows you to introduce an element of luxury to everyday moments at home." Lucy St George
After Midnight Colour Palette
The colour palette for the After Midnight trend is simple but effective. Above all, the colours celebrate our enduring love affair with monochrome interiors. Black, charcoal and navy blues are a natural fit for this trend and take inspiration from the midnight hour. However, the crisp white usually associated with monochrome palettes is instead replaced with soft cream and muted neutral tones. When styled together, these create a fabulous base for introducing rich textures and bold patterns.
Next up, metallic accents are a must-have when embracing this trend. For example, warm gold is ideal for lifting monochrome schemes and introducing a hint of drama. From brushed brass to golden hour hues of honey yellow, gold is one of the easiest ways to add glamour when decorating your home. Similarly, silver is a key component in creating the After Midnight look. Therefore, we recommend introducing accents of silver through mirrored surfaces in the entertaining spaces of your home. These materials reflect light around the room and look amazing against dark-painted walls. To tie everything together, don’t forget to introduce plants for a pop of gorgeous greenery.
