Interior Trends From All Around The World

This week, we take trend inspirations from all around the world and show you how to create that well-travelled look in your home without having to wear out your passport!

Morocco
Bring a burst of heart-warming colour into your home with Moroccan-inspired style. This look is not about minimalism - get ready for bold patterns, gaze-grabbing colours and surprising shapes.

Take a look at our patterned floor tile to see what we're talking about. Lighting is an important part of the Moroccan look so choose fittings carefully, opting for lanterns and lavishly-decorated lamps wherever possible.

Tilework is one of the best ways to honour the wonderful relationship this North African country has with colour, and you can really let yourself go with mosaics in all the jewel shades you can find. Try our fiery Moon Red and Arabic Blue Mosaics, or be inspired by the other lively shades here.

Italy
Sleek but grand; stylish but classic; modern but steeped in a sense of family and history - Italian décor could easily seem impossible to emulate, but with the right approach this style can be achieved in any home.

Bring the traditional element of this look into kitchens and hallways with authentic-looking terracotta floor tiles - the perfect accompaniment to a natural wood kitchen. For a different look that says "Italian style" just as beautifully, take a peek at the subtle colours and delicate prints featured in our Archivo range.

This patchwork design is perfect for a fresh and clean-looking Italian bathroom - just team with sliver fittings, a gleaming suite and subtle references to the blues, pinks and purples you'll have gained from the tiles. Think fluffy pastel-coloured towels and a gorgeous flower stem in a vase.

India
Journey to this enchanting cultural melting pot with clever use of colour, sumptuous fabrics and carefully crafted designs. Embrace the beauty of jewel shades in every aspect of the room, and let an array of colours intoxicate the eye. Think curtains, soft furnishing and draped fabrics decorated with swirling paisley patterns in shades of emerald green, sapphire blue and royal purple.

Bring gold into the mix at any opportunity - either with gold-painted furniture or metallic accessories, a golden trim is perfect for this look.

England
Let's not overlook the abundance of style inspiration on offer to us right here at home! The English Heritage trend represents a classic mix of elegant styles and rustic touches, all brought together to give an air of grandeur and history. It's a look that's surprisingly easy to get in your own home - no personal library and billiard room required! Here are some style ideas:

Combine sturdy rustic furnishings such as real-wood tables, chairs and bedframes with more delicate touches from floral-print wall tiles, wallpaper, cushions and throws. We recommend our Antic Blanco Delft tiles and the complementary Décor tiles for the country-style look that's at the heart of the very best English Heritage-inspired homes. Why not team these wall tiles with solid wood flooring?

Our Dove Grey flooring is perfect for this look as it creates that timeless finish that'll only improve with age, and the lighter tones in the wood will complement the softer shades in your décor perfectly.

The English Heritage look is about embracing your past, so don't class your belonging as clutter and hide them away - display you're life's collected possessions proudly on bookshelves, mantelpieces and wherever you'll see them most.
