NEW HERRINGBON­E

Tile Giant has launched a new selection of high gloss metro tiles, and we’re loving their fun and playful take on the classic herringbon­e design. To create the look, simply choose a base colour, such as white, a secondary colour, like blue, and a third colour to accent. Draw out your design on paper first and replicate on your wall to form a pattern that pleases. Somerset tiles in white, dark grey and sky blue gloss, £40 per m2, Tile Giant

ADD A TOUCH OF TUSCANY

Channel holiday vibes at home with these intricate new vinyl floor tiles from Carpetrigh­t.

The subtle hues of terracotta, blue and white recall the ceramic designs of rustic Italian villas. Together with the softness and warmth of vinyl, they’re an allround winner. Mardi Gras Evora vinyl, £17.99 per m2, Carpetrigh­t
