EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT

Wood-tiled walls, the latest bread-baking revival, mixing red with green and the comeback of heavy curtains

1 RED & GREEN

Not at all Christmassy if approached correctly, and the colour combination to push pink and green off its pedestal. Need more convincing? Cast your eye over fabric house Fermoie’s pairing of these tones across linen on David Seyfried furniture. Note to self: add to mood board.

2 FINE FETTLE

Our need for escapism has never been stronger, and if there’s a design studio dreaming up nothing but the most joyful of interiors, it’s boutique, transatlantic Fettle. Its latest slice of heaven is Melrose Avenue restaurant Olivetta, housing a Mediterranean-feel sunroom clad with trailing ivy, cane and terracotta.

3 CURTAIN CALL

Working from home? Love your family but don’t need to see them 24/7? Let pinch and pencil pleats be your saviour as heavy drapery makes a comeback, helping us to section, zone, divide and conquer. Look to projects by Ater Architects and Carl Hansen & Søn (right) for the modern approach.

4 WOOD WALLS

Turns out, you’re only ever a hand-carved, engineered Italian walnut wood 3D tile away from a room with bountiful texture and touchability. These beauties are by Fameed Khalique, but see also Aldo Cibic’s birch line for Inkiostro Bianco.

5 DAILY BREAD

Aprons and rolling pins at the ready as the second wave of the big baking revival is upon us (reaching your kitchen via the virtual world of Instagram). We’re sourdough-ing with Edd Kimber (aka @the boywhobakes) and finessing our focaccia alongside the Bread Ahead bakery. Bon appétit!
