Clockwise from top left: Lots of Animals Night by Linnea Nilsson Lundell, £29.00 per m2. Omega Cats by Sanderson, £47.00 per roll. Owl Print by Albany, £11.50 per roll. Flamingos by Sanderson £57.00 per roll.
My favourite is Jungle Print Natural World, but James wasn’t keen so we’ve settled on Lots of Animals Night for the hallway. Can’t wait for before and after photos!!
Here are my predictions, based on my fair share of interiors magazines and articles..
No 1. Terracotta
There was definitely time when I was about 10 (so.. around the year 2000?) when borders were still in and terracotta was a big hit as a wall colour. With an increasing focus on texture, terracotta is making a big come back in the form of tiles. Of course the orange floor isn’t a new invention, but twinned with modern features and a minimalist feel they give warmth to a blank Scandinavian canvas.
Subway tiles have been around for a while, but this season sees them getting longer, narrower and often installed in a herringbone pattern. It does seem like it would be a pain in the arse to lay them that way, especially when you get to a straight edge and have to trim them all at an angle, but my god they’re pretty. The unusual pattern, whilst creating a whitewash background, also gives an impression of luxury and intention.
When I first saw cork popping up I thought of the notice boards crafted by middle aged wino’s. However, upon seeing it used as it has been below I can definitely get on board. Of course it helps if you have a nice collection of curios and and a knack for displaying them in a thrown together way. I’m not sure how effective this would be in the long run though, looking at the pock-marked notice board behind me in the office I would think it would need replacing occasionally.
Preferably big round statement mirrors in the hallway, with a bench or console table in front. Move your succulents out of their terrariums and display them in front with some mismatched candles, jobs a good’un. Heaven forbid you leave any keys or takeaway menus lying around though, we’re not heathens.
