The new interior trends you NEED to know about

Speckle best

Last year’s favourite, terrazzo, gets a paired-back update everywhere from No. 3 shop’s ceramics collection to Murals Wallpaper. For a touch of chintz, The New Craftsmen’s Staffordshire Dogs are speck-tacular.

Stately tiles

The bold, glazed tiling steals the show at Soho House Amsterdam (above). Recreate the look on the cheap with Topps Tiles. Trust us, all the fashion kids are at it.

Return of the max factor

At Milan’s Salone del Mobile in April, loud was the order of the day. From über brands Seletti and Kartell to Missoni Home’s mad zoomorphic and geometric patterns, eclecticism is everywhere. Remember Christian Bale’s minimalist flat in American Psycho? You’re going for the opposite of that.

Too good to eat

Industrial chic? Ov-ah. Restaurants have returned to opulent decor, with designers like Russell Sage Studio and Brady Williams hugely in demand. Here are our faves for mid-mouthful inspo.

#Tap that

Don’t be a drip — jazzy taps are turning design-lovers on all over London. See The Water Monopoly, where it’s all a-spout the orange, green and purple tap handles.

Lav story

London’s loos have gone luxe (blame the #toiletselfie). Follow interiors writer @claudiabaillie who shares her favourites with the hashtag #britainsbestbogs. Here are three of the finest…

The Haymarket Hotel, Picadilly

No one papers a lavatory quite like the Firmdale Hotels, and the ladies at The Haymarket Hotel in Piccadilly is a fine example. The Aquario wallpaper is by Cole & Son.

Nopi, Soho

A classic when it comes to must see London loos, this mirrored marvel at Yotam Ottolenghi’s Nopi includes a ‘way out’ arrow to aid confused customers. Tricky to take a picture - can you see me?

Canova Hall, Brixton

The conveniences at Canova Hall split opinion on Instagram. Designed by Squire & Partners architects as part of its brilliant department store development, on this we are firmly pro.

high glass

Sick of ceramics? A new guard of young British glass artists is making waves, from Monette Larson, whose Static Motion vessel was the standout piece of London craft fair Collect 2018, to Joseph Harrington, who won best in show at last year’s British Glass Biennale for his sculptures and has work in the V&A. Meanwhile Clos19 have just launched coloured Murano glass straws for the ethical-minded sipper.

tea time

Introducing the ‘show towel’ - that is, the posh tea towel you display but NEVER use. We’re splashing £35 this baby for Summerill and going to Ikea for our ‘BTS’ cloths.

close shave

Berber rugs are more ubiquitous than avo on toast. Switch things up with flat-weave kilim — beautiful shaved Turkish rugs, as seen at super cool Curtain Road interiors shop SCP and Instagram feeds from @thejungalow to @mad_about_the_house
