Design Trends We Love This August – Featuring Woodcentre

As August blooms with creativity, we celebrate not only a new season of design inspiration but also the powerful women shaping the spaces around us.  Woodcentre is proud to honour the women in their team and beyond—interior designers, architects, and visionaries who bring elegance and innovation to every surface. Their passion fuels projects that speak of strength, style, and soul.

Today we share some of the top seasonal trends to keep and eye on this month:

Texture Play

One design trend that continues to rise is Texture Play. Gone are the days of flat, one-dimensional finishes. Today, we’re seeing a move toward tactile richness—bouclé fabrics, ribbed wood grains, and raw, natural stone. At Woodcentre, a variety of textured laminates and solid surfacing options help designers add depth and character to every corner.

Next up: Outdoor Oasis Prep.

As South Africans look ahead to spring, many are dreaming of alfresco dining and garden gatherings. Winter is the ideal time to prepare, and our PVC foam board and compact laminates are perfect for weather-resistant cabinetry and outdoor design solutions that combine style and durability.

We’re also loving this season’s Colour Comebacks.

Earthy olives, sunbaked terracotta’s, and tranquil mauves are making a splash in kitchens, bathrooms, and feature walls. These tones offer warmth and calm—perfect for both bold statements and serene retreats. Woodcentre’s Greenlam range has a colour story for every taste and tone.

Finally, let’s talk about Mindful Living.

Consumers are leaning into eco-conscious design more than ever before. That’s why Woodcentre is committed to sourcing sustainably and offering environmentally friendly finishes. From recycled core boards to locally crafted products, the team will help you design spaces that look good—and feel good too.

This August, we’re celebrating bold ideas, mindful choices, and the women who lead the way. Visit Woodcentre Johannesburg and Pretoria to explore these trends up close and start your next project with purpose.
