As we move through December, we’ve taken a closer look at the searches shaping journalist demand on Press Loft - and the data tells an interesting story for both the final festive push and the early months of 2026 👀

‘Christmas’ remains firmly in the spotlight, particularly across short-lead and digital editorial teams who are still sourcing those last-minute gift ideas, hosting edits and quick-turnaround styling features.
⁠
But there’s a noticeable shift happening alongside it:
⁠
🌸‘SS26’ searches are beginning to climb as journalists turn their attention to fresh spring collections and pieces that signal renewal to help readers reset their homes once winter starts to thaw.

💚‘Green’ continues to dominate colour searches. From soft, muted shades to richer emeralds, it’s proving to be a versatile way to bring in natural warmth and character.

🎨Paint’ is also trending, with editors preparing new-year colour stories and looking for imagery that shows how simple palette changes can transform a space.

🍽️Meanwhile, ‘Kitchen’ content remains consistently strong, bridging festive hosting stories and 2026 kitchen trend features focused on elevating everyday rituals in the home to help readers embrace the new year.
⁠
If it’s been a while since you last updated your imagery or keywords on Press Loft (we get it, it happens), take this as your reminder to give your press office a little TLC. Small tweaks now can make all the difference when it comes to discoverability 🔎⁠

Anyone else planning a new look for the new year?

If you’re anything like us, you crave a little colour to help elevate your space, and the start of a new year provides the perfect excuse for a bit of a revamp and refresh 🎨⁠

While furniture and accessories are often the first things we look to when curating our dream homes, colour has a huge impact on the overall mood of a space - sometimes a small shift in shade can completely transform how a room feels.

Tikkurila’s latest images on the platform are a perfect reminder of that, showcasing a beautiful selection of tones to suit every style. Whether you prefer airy, calming hues or bolder colour combinations, their curated collection of paints makes it easy to bring your 2026 interiors vision to life 💫⁠

8,140 pieces of coverage confirmed in one month 💖

October was our biggest month yet, and reminded us exactly why we love what we do!

Our team spent weeks flipping through pages of our favourite magazines and scrolling through headlines, spotting client products everywhere.

From international titles like Elle Italia, admagazine.com, House Beautiful and Grazia to home favourites like The Times, Livingetc, The Independent, redonline.co.uk and more, product images downloaded straight from our library were popping up across print and digital around the globe 🌍

That’s thousands of features made easier - no endless pitching, no image requests sitting in inboxes, no waiting around.

Just journalists finding what they need, and brands getting seen.

It’s been a huge month, but the work doesn’t stop here. With the festive rush now in full swing, November and December are where the magic really happens - let’s finish the year strong 💪✨

What the press loved over the last month ✨

September’s top-performing images paint a clear picture of where editor interest is heading as we move deeper into AW25.

🎄 Festive imagery with atmosphere

Christmas content continues to dominate downloads, but it’s lifestyle-led scenes that are driving the most engagement. Editors are favouring imagery that feels lived-in and transportive - cosy tablescapes, tree-decked living rooms and warm, gentle lighting - over more minimal showroom-style setups.

📜 Paper details make a return

From garlands and crackers to handmade ornaments, paper elements are proving to be a clear editorial favourite. It’s a nostalgic, sustainable detail that feels timeless and achievable, making it an easy look for readers to recreate at home.

🧥 Layered comfort

Cosy fashion staples are trending as editors curate outfit inspiration for the colder months ahead. While warm neutrals remain a favourite, there’s also a growing appetite for expressive colour - pieces in berry, red and cobalt tones that cut through the winter gloom and add a playful lift to layered looks.

🕯️ Self-care gifting on the rise

Searches for pampering and wellbeing products are climbing as journalists prepare gift guides designed to help readers unwind over the Christmas break and start the new year with mindful habits. Think candles, bath products and daily ritual sets that blend indulgence with intention.

🎀 The Coquette revival

High-femininity is back, with love for lace, pearls and ribbon details on the platform being largely influenced by the V&A’s latest Marie Antoinette exhibition. Soft pastels and delicate accessories are adding a touch of romance to both fashion and gifting features.

For brands and agencies, now’s the time to focus on atmosphere and detail. Editors are finalising winter features, with early 2026 stories already in motion, so remember that imagery that feels warm, styled and tells a story will be your secret weapon 💫

Modern heritage is emerging as one of AW25’s defining fashion stories 🤎

Checks, tartan and houndstooth are everywhere this season, but not in the rigid, traditional sense. Designers are scaling up patterns, loosening tailoring and mixing these familiar fabrics with everyday staples, creating a version of heritage that feels distinctly modern.

This return to familiar motifs reflects a wider appetite for longevity and craftsmanship. In a season where micro-trends come and go so quickly, heritage stands out for its sense of permanence - an already timeless look refreshed with updated cuts and styling that feel relevant for today’s wardrobes. Think more relaxed silhouettes, belted blazers, Fair Isle knits, and pops of traditional patterns like gingham and statement checks.

For editors and stylists, modern heritage provides a flexible direction that works just as well in “old money” narratives as it does in everyday features.

If you’ve been keeping an eye on seasonal searches, you’ll know that one of the biggest shifts we’ve seen building over the past few months is towards moody neutrals 🍂

But these aren’t your standard beige basics. We’re talking rich cocoa, buttery caramel, olive greens and those redish mahogany tones that add a hit of warmth and drama. Downloads for imagery in these shades have been climbing steadily on Press Loft, showing that editors are already leaning into palettes with more depth and character as AW25 takes shape.

With today’s autumn equinox marking the official turn toward darker evenings, it feels like the perfect moment to embrace these grounding hues. Think of elements like velvet cushions, natural woods and soft boucle, all layered together to curate a look that feels anything but flat or boring 🤎

Swipe through for a dose of inspiration and if you’re a journalist looking to tap into this palette, you’ll find a full trend edit of moody neutrals ready to download on Press Loft via the link in bio 💫

Not to alarm anyone but…Christmas is less than 100 days away 😳

September marks one of the most valuable windows in the Christmas PR calendar. Long-lead magazines are putting the finishing touches on their festive issues while short-lead publications are just starting to source products for gift guides, décor features and seasonal inspiration. That overlap makes this the perfect moment for brands and agencies to maximise their festive coverage opportunities (especially if you’re a little late to start 👀)

So if you’ve been putting off sharing your festive collections, consider this your (gentle) nudge to get moving. The more accessible your imagery is, the easier you make life for journalists hunting for last-minute additions (and that’s exactly what Press Loft is here to help with 😉)

Journalists, if you’re still sourcing products for your core festive content or just looking for inspiration to elevate your cosy winter edits, Press Loft’s image library is brimming with fresh uploads from over 1,200 brands and 27,000 journalists.

✨ Pssst! We offer a free trial for brands and agencies, as well as free accounts for journalists - get set up today and make the most out of these next few festive months 🎄

What the press loved this month ✨

The latest download data is in and it’s painting a pretty clear picture of what editors are loving right now across fashion and interiors. Here are our main take-aways:

🌰 Moody neutrals are stealing the spotlight

Think deep browns, caramels and mahogany shades - rich cocooning tones that feel luxe but lived-in. We’re seeing them everywhere from velvet cushions to buttery leather bags, perfect for bridging late summer and the crisp autumn nights ahead.

🍒 Cherry reds aren’t going anywhere

Brick, berry and cherry hues continue to rack up downloads, proving last year’s cherry-coded moment still has editors hooked. Whether it’s a flash of crimson in a tablescape or a structured coat in a Cherry hue, these reds add instant impact for editorial spreads

🌿 Winter greens are having a moment

Warm olives and earthy forest shades are emerging as the go-to transition colours, grounding interiors and fashion alike. These nature-leaning shades work beautifully for autumn features and carry through seamlessly to Christmas styling.

🧵 Checks & houndstooth are back in rotation

Classic patterns are creeping into everything from oversized coats to upholstery details, adding texture and a timeless charm that editors love when planning cooler-weather features.

🎄 Christmas is already in full swing

Festive tablescapes, stockings and decorative touches are flying out of the library as both long-lead and short-lead media build up their holiday pages. If you’ve been waiting to upload your seasonal imagery, consider this your nudge.

For brands and agencies, now is the time to refresh seasonal uploads and fine-tune keywords. Journalists are locking in AW25 and Christmas features (as well as looking at early 2026 articles), so aligning your imagery with these topics will help secure valuable coverage in the months ahead!

Christmas gift guide season is here 🎁✨⁠

Few PR opportunities carry as much weight as Christmas gift guides. They’re highly competitive, provide major visibility, and can make a real difference to your seasonal PR results. But here’s the problem: editors are buried under a tidal wave of Christmas pitches, and the majority never even make it past the inbox.

So, what makes the difference between a pitch that’s ignored and one that makes it onto the page? When we spoke to journalists on our What the Media Want podcast, their answers were refreshingly simple:

✨ Get the basics right - high-res cut-outs, lifestyle shots, RRPs and stockist details.

⏰ Time it properly - long-lead glossies close by end of September, so don’t wait until the last minute.

📝 Frame it like a story - “Eco-friendly gifts”, “Hosting essentials,” or “2026 Christmas trends”, not a catalogue.

✅ Keep access simple - no WeTransfers that expire in 7 days, no missing details that need chasing.

The truth is, journalists aren’t looking for perfection. They’re looking for clarity, speed, and relevance. The brands who deliver that are the ones that make it into those all-important Christmas gift guides.

Us on the 31st August vs us on the 1st September 🍂

And just like that, the -ber months have arrived - One day it’s sundresses and iced lattes, the next it’s chunky knits, falling leaves and pumpkin-spiced everything.

While some of us at Press Loft HQ are mourning the last rays of sunshine, others have been eagerly waiting for any excuse to embrace all things autumnal (especially after seeing all of the stunning imagery for AW25 that's been added to our image library!)

Be honest: are you secretly clinging to summer or already deep into autumn mode?

19/08/2025

Move over summerween - it’s time to get ready for the real deal 🎃

While the glorious weather we’re having shows that summer is still clinging on, many of us have already shifted our attention towards the cosier “-ber’ months that lay just on the horizon 🍁

Aside from the warming colour palettes, lush layers and pumpkin spice literally everywhere you turn, autumn’s return brings one of our favourite holidays - and we’re not the only ones getting excited.

Search trends on TikTok and Pinterest show a rising interest in Halloween 2025 decor and costume inspiration, with consumers apoarently starting their spooky season prep earlier than ever 👻

If you’re a journalist sourcing products for any content around All Hallows Eve or just looking for some inspo to help you get into the “spirit” of things, be sure to explore Press Loft’s image library and check out the latest additions from our brand network!⁠

Outfits and accessories the press loved recently 👜✨️

We’ve rounded up some of the most downloaded fashion images on Press Loft over the past month or so, revealing the pieces and palettes that are dominating journalists’ mood boards as we move from sun-drenched summer looks into richer, autumn-ready styling.

Here's what's making the biggest impact so far:

Easy, Breezy Coastal Styling ⛵️

Crisp whites, flowing skirts and rattan accessories still have a place in editors’ mood boards, but this time they’re anchored by heavier layers or structured bags to carry them into cooler days ahead.

Grounded, but never boring 🤎

From forest greens to deep chocolate and soft caramel, grounded, earthy hues are emerging as a favourite in A/W accessories and knits. Far from dull, these shades add depth and sophistication, making them a season-defining staple.

Quilted charm 🪡

We've been spotting things like patchwork totes, reversible floral jackets and vests everywhere recently, and its clear that quilted textures are emerging as a key detail for the season ahead - adding warmth, personality, and a tactile edge that editors can’t resist.

Cosy tailored knits 🧶

Knits are still chunky enough to feel cosy, but the oversized silhouettes of past seasons are giving way to more streamlined fits that are perfect for layering under coats without losing comfort or shape.

For brands and agencies, this is the moment to get ahead. Short-lead press may still be holding onto a hint of summer, but long-lead titles are already building out their late autumn and winter fashion features!

If the current top downloads are anything to go by, it shows that the sweet spot lies in transitional pieces that bridge the gap between the seasons and can be layered effortlessly when the winter arrives 💫
