COLLAB ALERT

Coat X Colours of Arley

We’ve seen a shift away from cooler neutrals, with much warmer colours of biscuity stone and terracotta guaranteed to be on-trend this season. The new Northern Stone collection, a collab between Coat and Colours of Arley, has two such sunbaked neutrals that will bring a cocooning and restful feel to your living space. Inspired by Colours of Arley’s Manchester roots, both Alderley Edge, a warm sandstone with pink undertones, and Northern Quarter, an earthy red, are a nod to the area’s famed landmarks.

SPOTLIGHT ON

Playful patterned tiles

Patterned tiles are a popular choice for kitchen schemes thanks to their ability to instantly add colour and detail. However, if you find on-trend graphics too much while you enjoy your morning coffee and prefer a softer look, check out Ca’ Pietra’s collaboration with their Artist in Residence, Sasha Compton. Joyous Expressions is a twelve-strong collection of tiles, fired in Wiltshire, using colourways inspired by oceans and sunsets, each with cheerful patterns and illustrations.
