Inside GlobeWest’s Bold Functionality Trend — Our Showroom Visit Takeaways
This week, the Heliconia team visited the GlobeWest showroom to preview their upcoming 2026 collection, and we were instantly captivated by the rich, luxurious colour palette and the distinctive character of the new pieces. As we explored the range, it became clear that interior design is shifting towards a more expressive, layered aesthetic - and we are loving every moment of it.
For years, pared-back, neutral interiors have been a go-to for their calm, timeless appeal - and there’s still a place for that. But what we notices at GlobeWest was a deliberate shift towards boldness. The new Bold Functionality trend isn’t about abandoning neutrals; it’s about elevating them. It’s about introducing texture, sculptural forms, and statement pieces that bring warmth, depth, and personality to a space.
We saw beautiful combinations of russet dapple marble, deep toffee timbers, and bold accents, all woven into pieces that felt refined yet playful. The colours weren’t overpowering, but rather, they added a sophisticated energy - a grown-up sense of fun.
What we loved most was how tactile and visually interesting everything was. Framing details, softened edges, marble detailing and sculptural curves invited you to not just look at the pieces, but to experience them. This collection is designed to be lived with, not just admired.
Even if you lean towards a serene, neutral palette, GlobeWest’s approach shows how you can introduce layers of interest — perhaps through a veined marble coffee table, a velvet armchair, or a beautifully crafted timber console in a warm toffee tone. It’s about finding balance: creating interiors that feel calm, yet full of character and soul.
At Heliconia, we’re inspired by this return to interiors with heart - spaces that feel personal, expressive, and effortlessly functional.

Interiors with Personality
As we explored the new range, what stood out to us was how design is moving beyond ‘safe’ and into a space where functionality and personality coexist. GlobeWest’s Bold Functionality collection invites you to create interiors that feel uniquely yours, whether that’s through layering bold, statement pieces or weaving in subtle touches that elevate a neutral foundation. It’s a collection that encourages self-expression, with colour, texture, and form working together to bring depth and character to every space.
