ON-TREND SCALES Move over metro tiles and line a wall with fabulously funky Fish Scale designs. Also known as scallop, fun or mermaid tiles, this pleasing-to-the-eye shape is a Moroccan tile classic that's trending hard right now and offers a sophisticated alternative to metro/subway designs. Mermaids tiles are this year's unicorns (so they say) and Fish Scale tiles are how to take the trend to a far more grown-up level. Especially striking across a whole wall or in a shower room, make the surface pop in vivid shades of blue and green for an oceanic vibe that'll refresh and invigorate. If colour doesn't float your boat, just exchange the bold hues for neutral shades and use a dark grout to highlight the pattern. Alternatively, go to www.tiledesire.com there are more than 40 colours to choose and mix!! Photo Credits: http://iortz-photo.com/

As evenings get darker, introduce a taste of the Mediterranean to your culinary space. Choose cabinets in warm, earthy tones (such as Terra from HUSK's new Natura range), then set it off with confident hardware. Enter our FOLD Collection. Embracing a shift to statement design details in the kitchen space, this range comprises bold, circular forms that are manufactured from solid sheet brass. Pack a punch in choosing our surface-mounted pulls, which are installed to sit proudly on cabinet fronts. Or err on the side of discretion with our more subtle edge pulls. Both of equal thickness, these designs feel intentional on contact, plus offer the toasty glow of a lacquered brass finish. Complete your kitchen scheme with a jewel-toned, resin-based Terrazzo worksurface, then style the space with hand-finished ceramics and low-maintenance plants. What we can't help with is the view of rolling Tuscan hills — sorry.
