NEW & NOW
Nina Campbell x Next
Celebrated interior designer Nina Campbell has joined forces with Next to create a line of exclusive homewares, bringing her iconic style to the high street. Mixing contemporary and classic shapes and materials, she has introduced a whole range of furniture, accessories, fabrics and wallpaper, using her recognisable colour palette of greens, blues and pinks. For us, it’s the high-quality upholstery that makes this collection a winner, while the lighting range also has an array of stand-out designs that we love.
