Tiles x Jessica Davis
Tiles can really reflect your personality, so you
don’t need to go with trends, but they can
be inspiring. This season sees a lean toward
inviting, earthy tones and using floor tiles up to
half height on the walls. Geometric tiles are still
hugely popular, and lots of ranges are bringing
out ceramic versions of en-caustic tiles for
easier upkeep.

This trend combines
a focus on integrity
of items (think antiques)
alongside comfort. It’s a lived-in
look that envelops - large convivial
pieces of furniture, paired with lots of
texture. Hardwood floors are key to
this style, as is a strong architectural
framework to the room.
The colour palette for this look tends
to be very neutral, focusing on a mix
of taupes, whites, creams and beiges,
intermixed with framing black and
other earth tones, like terracotta and
wood. Finally, small pops of colour can
be added in soft furnishings.

Inventive mixes of different finishes
have been really evident in lots of
kitchens this year - choosing surfaces
which age with a nice patina can also
add to the depth of the space - think
about brass and wood, or concrete
with stainless steel. Natural textures
should really shine through.
