You can update the look of your interior dramatically, for a lot less money than you think. Here are three of our fave new-season buys – including inspiration from B & B Italia’s latest campaign launched this month ahead of Milan’s Furniture fair. Yes, adding a tree indoors might be what your room really needs to style it up; and give it the scale and the right proportions.
TREES INDOORS
Indoor trees from citrus to maple and olives trees are fabulously on-trend. The proliferation of portable trees we are seeing everywhere —makes it possible for almost anyone to grow a lemon, lime, or kumquat inside. Just remember not to overwater them.

They will instantly add height, scale, drama and a focal point to a room, plus greenery makes you happy.
STATEMENT RUGS
Pattern is something many of us shy away from because we’re scared they’ll clash but it doesn’t need to be daunting. You can put a rug with varying stripes, zigzags, and geometric shapes and they’ll look fresh and cool, just as long as they’re in similar colors that complement each other.
The easiest way to update floors – a rug can transform a room in seconds.
And whatever your style, there’s a wealth of designs available right now. We love them all. From Plush Neutrals that still turn heads, with quietly impressive patterning. Works of Art where your floor becomes your canvas with expressive brushstrokes and washes of watercolour.
MATTE BLACK
Expect to see a lot more matte black making an appearance in 2019 interiors. From furniture to décor and even faucets and tableware, this hue is definitely making a statement. Go for black tapware to embrace the dark side in your kitchen with the hottest looks like Kohler’s Purist or Grohe’s Essence taps.
