Blend with neutral tones

Our love for neutral tones is predicted to continue, with many interior lovers opting for a palette of earthy neutrals and light greys as we head into the summer months. Consider adding a subtle pop of colour throughout your home with pastel shades such as dusky pink and sage green. Our Lattice collection in collaboration with Dee Hardwicke boasts a palette of neutral shades from Pebble Grey to Mist containing a floral-inspired motif that’s perfect for adding a sense of outdoors in. Below, we see Lattice Mist styled with fresh blossom flowers and rustic textures; an easy way to incorporate pastels into your colour palette.

Statement colour block walls

A great way to refresh any room in your home is by switching up the colour palette to reflect the seasons and current trends. Below, an earthy pastel tone has been used to create a feature colour block wall that blends beautifully with the existing interior styling. Style with our MSeries English Oak for an authentic style that has the look and feel of real wood. By choosing a neutral wood design, it’s easy to switch up the wall colours as your interior style evolves.

Contrast monochrome with textures

We love creating a statement look with monochrome flooring – from classic checkerboard floors to contemporary geometric shape, it’s an easy way to create an eye-catching interior style. Below, Check Slate from the Check collection by Neisha Crosland has created a sense of space in this uplifting bathroom. Adding in pastel blue and pink textiles brings out the tone of the wall colour and softens the overall look, perfect for a modern-rustic aesthetic.

Soft green kitchens

The hashtag #greenkitchen has almost 75,000 tags on Instagram, showing how our love for this tone has made it a popular choice when renovating the heart of our homes. Opting for colour block cabinets can be a statement choice, so opting for softer green tones can create a more tranquil and relaxed feel. Style with brass hardware, botanical features and grey tones for a contemporary yet authentic look. Pictured below is this beautiful green kitchen styled with our Check Flint floor tiles in collaboration with Neisha Crosland.

Retro inspired styles

We absolutely love classic checkerboard floors – they not only look great in kitchens, hallways and bathrooms but also bring a sense of nostalgia. Why not choose from our range of Heritage Squares, including pastel tones such as Bay Blue that look beautiful laid with our Linen White tiles. This creates a timeless look that lifts the colour of the room. LVT tiles are also easy to clean and care for, a must for busy areas of the home.

Incorporate statement furniture

One of the other key trends we highlighted on our blog for 2021 was statement furniture – a great way to add a focal point to your room and define your interior style. In the bathroom setup below, Walbrook Peyton Blue has been styled with features such as the vintage, antique style furniture and marble surface for a stylish and luxe finish. Other statement pieces to consider include on-trend roll top baths, hanging egg chairs and butler sinks.
