foliage and ombré designs – for a truly impactful look. The wallpapers are also printed on 100% recycled fibres, reflecting the company’s long tradition of sustainable sourcing of materials. This feeds into another leading trend for homeowners who are searching for more environmentally friendly options. Kingsmead Carpets has tapped into this with its new Thinking Beyond collection of carpets made from Econyl, a material manufactured with recycled elements like plastic bottles, and which utilises eco- friendly manufacturing processes. Industville’s lighting range also uses natural and recycled materials. With three core signature finishes and metals throughout its entire range – copper, pewter and brass – accompanied by blown glass, the brand has created a collection that matches many interior styles. When it comes to flooring, The Baked Tile Company’s terracotta range of organic tiles is available in a variety of looks to give an unmistakable rustic charm. “When you talk about terracotta, one thinks of handmade tiles moulded from simple clay, showing rustic imperfections,” suggests the brand. “These artisan tiles have graced our homes for centuries, but to retain their beauty they require a lot of maintenance. Fortunately, our new type of terracotta- style tile requires no maintenance, as the body of the tile is non-porous and suitable for the modern home.”
Saffron Walden bathroom specialist Ripples provides some tips FINISHING TOUCHES A well-maintained bathroom can last upwards of ten years, but this doesn’t mean you can’t refresh it over time. There are lots of updates you can make to enhance and rejuvenate the space to keep it looking good as new. By opting for timeless furniture and part-tiled walls, you can repaint your space to give your bathroom a new lease of life. Incorporate your preferred trends through blinds and towels with different colours and patterns. Another simple way to update your space is through accessories. There are so many special finish accessories these days, so you don’t necessarily need to opt for chrome. You could experiment by mixing finishes, or choosing one finish for each accessory in the space, from towel hooks to the toilet brush holder. Satin gold, brushed bronze and even rose gold are popular choices right now and bring a sense of luxury. For more info, visit ripplesbathrooms.com
