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

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

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