Zellige Muse Mocha

There comes a point every year when the house suddenly becomes very important. Perhaps it’s the first date in the diary for festive drinks. Maybe you’ve agreed to host this year. Or perhaps the darker evenings have simply made you notice all those corners you’ve spent the summer happily ignoring. We all do it. Whatever prompts it, the weeks before the festive season are prime time for giving your home a little attention. This is about clever updates that make the rooms you will use most feel warmer, smarter and ready for a houseful. Products Shown: Bibury Stone - Kingham Limestone Tumbled Give the kitchen splashback its moment If there’s one room that works particularly hard over the festive season, it’s the kitchen. And a splashback is one of those relatively small changes that can completely shift how the room feels. Whether you go for rich colour, an interesting glaze or a little pattern, it’s a chance to add character without rethinking the whole space. Come December, with the lights on, something bubbling on the hob and people inevitably gathering around the kitchen, you’ll be glad you did. Products Shown: Mercer Fluted Emerald, Town & Country Glazed Ivory Make an entrance Hallways have a lot asked of them at this time of year. Coats, boots, bags and a steady stream of guests all come through the front door, so it’s worth giving yours a little attention before the festive rush begins. A tiled floor is practical enough to cope with muddy footprints and wet shoes, but it can also completely change the first impression of your home. Go bold with pattern, bring in some colour or keep things classic with natural stone, after all, it’s the first thing your guests will see. Products Shown: Tetbury Parquet Give the fireplace a glow-up Few things earn their keep quite like a fireplace once winter arrives. Whether yours is roaring every evening or purely decorative, refreshing the tiles around it can turn it into a real focal point. Think glossy glazes that catch the firelight, rich colour or a pattern that gives the room a little more personality. It’s a relatively small area, but one that can make the whole room feel warmer and more considered, just in time for evenings spent firmly fireside. Products Shown: Zellige Muse Mocha, Journeyman Zellige Green Refresh the downstairs cloakroom The downstairs cloakroom may be one of the smallest rooms in the house, but when you’re entertaining it’s also one almost every guest is likely to see. Which makes it the perfect place to have some fun. Bold pattern, unexpected colour, an interesting layout, this is a room where you can be a little braver and create something that guests will remember. Rather than trying to make it feel bigger, why not lean into its proportions? Wrap the room in colour, take tiles right up the walls or choose a pattern with plenty of personality. Small rooms can handle surprisingly bold ideas, and in a cloakroom, that slightly cocooning feeling is all part of the charm. Products Shown: Lava Pink, Marrakesh Terracotta Square Light Matt, Tuscany Botanical Décor A floor made for gathering Christmas has a habit of rearranging the way we use our homes. Dining tables extend, extra chairs appear, people congregate in kitchens despite your carefully arranged living room. Children sit on floors and someone inevitably spills something. This is where a floor with a little character of its own comes into its own. Rather than choosing something pristine that you’ll spend the day worrying about, look for natural stone with variation, texture and a gently lived-in feel. Tumbled edges, tonal shifts and natural markings are all part of its charm, and only get better as the room is properly lived in. Because at Christmas, you want a floor that can handle a houseful, not one you’re asking everyone to tiptoe around. Getting your home ready for the festive season doesn’t have to mean decorating every room from scratch. Sometimes it’s one hardworking splashback, a smarter hallway or a downstairs loo with a little more personality that makes everything feel refreshed. And unlike the Christmas decorations, you won’t have to take your new tiles back down in January. Products Shown: Baked Real Terracotta Parquet

Move over cool grey. Brown is bringing warmth back to the bathroom. From milky coffee and soft taupe to terracotta, walnut and deep chocolate, brown tiles have a wonderfully grounding quality. They can make a bathroom feel cocooning without making it dark, natural without becoming overly rustic, and seriously stylish without relying on a passing fad. Better still, there isn't just one way to do brown. Whether your dream bathroom is calm and spa-like, rich and characterful or full of pattern, here are five ways to bring this earthy palette home. 1. Start softly with warm neutrals You don't need to dive straight into dark chocolate tones to create a brown bathroom. Beige, biscuit, sand, caramel and taupe all belong to the same warm family and are a brilliant place to begin if you prefer a lighter look. A stone-effect tile is particularly good at creating this softer interpretation. Manor House Antique Limestone Beige has the warmth and natural-looking variation that makes a room feel established rather than stark, while its generous format can help create a calmer, more continuous finish. Keep the rest of the palette tonal: think warm white walls, pale wood, woven storage, linen, aged brass and just a few deeper brown accents. The result feels relaxed, layered and far removed from the clinical bathrooms of old. Products Shown: Manor House Antique Limestone Beige 2. Bring in the warmth of wood Few materials make a room feel as instantly inviting as wood, but a bathroom isn't always the easiest environment for the real thing. That's where wood-effect porcelain comes into its own. For a richer look, Woodland Parquet Walnut brings those deep, nutty brown tones together with the movement of a parquet-style format. Use it to introduce warmth to the floor, or take the timber look further to create a more enveloping scheme. If you prefer something larger and more contemporary, Osaka In & Out Teak combines brown and beige tones with a wood-effect finish, making it an interesting option for a modern, nature-led bathroom. Products Shown: Woodland Parquet Walnut, Osaka In & Out Teak 3. Use terracotta as your route into brown Somewhere between brown, rust, burnt orange and clay sits terracotta - and it's one of the easiest ways to make a bathroom feel warmer. For an earthy, handcrafted look without committing to one flat shade, try Marrakesh Terracotta Brick Dark Matt. The slim brick format gives you plenty of freedom with the layout, too. Stack it for something clean and contemporary, use a traditional brick bond, or turn it into a herringbone feature. Products Shown: Marrakesh Terracotta Brick Dark Matt For a larger, bolder dose of colour, Casa Cotto Dark delivers those deeper baked-clay tones in a square format. Pair either with warm white, plaster pink, muted green or timber to keep the overall scheme feeling natural. 4. Take chequerboard to the walls Who says chequerboard belongs on the floor? Taking this classic pattern up the walls is a brilliant way to give a brown bathroom a more playful edge - especially when you swap traditional black and white for something warmer. Zellige Muse Mocha is just the shade for it. Pair its rich chocolatey brown with a contrasting cream or off-white square tile to create a chequerboard wall that feels bold without becoming stark. Try it behind the basin, around a bath or across an entire feature wall. The glossy, zellige-inspired finish brings extra depth to the pattern, catching the light and helping those warm mocha tones come alive. Keep the rest of the scheme simple with natural wood, warm metals and creamy neutrals, and let the wall take centre stage. Proof that brown bathrooms can have plenty of fun, too. Products Shown: Zellige Muse Mocha 5. Give brown some personality Earthy doesn't have to mean understated. If you want your brown bathroom to have a little more personality, introduce different scales, finishes and patterns rather than covering every surface in exactly the same tile. KitKat Lustre Cappuccino is a great example. The slim mosaic format and cappuccino colouring bring together two useful ingredients: warm brown colour and a surface with plenty of visual detail. Use it behind a basin, across a feature wall or inside a shower area to punctuate a quieter scheme. You can also pair terracotta or cappuccino shades with checks, stripes or patterned floors. Add burgundy, dusty pink, olive green or even pale blue and suddenly brown becomes the grounding colour that allows everything else in the room to shine. Brown bathrooms work because they make a room designed around water feel warmer, softer and more connected to nature. Whether you get there through stone, terracotta or a glossy cappuccino accent, the trick is to layer the shades rather than searching for one perfect brown.

AW26 is the season tiles stop sitting politely in the background. They are framing floors, climbing onto ceilings and carrying colour across entire rooms. Pattern is no longer being rationed to a single feature wall, while stone-effect surfaces are becoming far too interesting to disappear behind the furniture. Baked Tiles is calling it now: the tiled room is back. Lesley Taylor, founder of Baked Tiles and BIID registered interior designer, says: "The plain tile with one decorative feature has had a very long innings. There is nothing wrong with it, but people are ready to have more fun. "Tiles are becoming the starting point for the room rather than the practical surface chosen at the end. A floor can dictate the colour palette, a border can change the proportions of a space and a heavily veined stone can do the job that wallpaper or artwork might once have done. My advice for AW26 is to choose the tile you cannot stop thinking about first, then build the room around it." Here are the tile looks Baked expects to lead the season. Floors get their frame: Borders are returning, but forget anything fussy or overly traditional. The new tile border is cleaner, bolder and often created using the same tile as the main floor. A change in direction, format or tone can be enough to frame a room, define a dining space or make a straightforward layout appear completely bespoke. Lesley explains: "I love a border because it gives a floor a proper full stop. Without one, a pattern can sometimes appear to run away into the edges of the room; frame it, and the whole layout suddenly has confidence. "It does not have to involve another decorative tile. Turn a rectangular tile through 90 degrees, introduce a narrow strip in a deeper version of the same colour or take one shade from the main pattern and use that around the edge. Draw the complete layout first, including every doorway and cabinet run, because an awkward half-border will undo all the cleverness." Products Shown: 1860 Templeton Floral Decor 15cm x 15cm, 1860 Templeton Border 15cm x 15cm, 1860 Templeton Corner 15cm x 15cm One colour is no longer enough: Colour drenching is loosening up. AW26 schemes will use several related shades rather than repeating one exact colour across every surface. For tile, this opens up far more interesting combinations: blush with oxblood, sage with bottle green or pale clay against a darker rust. Gloss can sit beside matt and smoother surfaces can meet more irregular finishes without leaving the colour family. "Matching everything perfectly can kill the character of a room," says Lesley. "You want the colours to feel related, not cloned. "Tile is brilliant for this because a glaze naturally changes with the light and a patterned surface can introduce several versions of a colour at once. Put every sample together in the actual room and remove the one that looks too neat. The slight odd one out is often what stops the scheme feeling flat." Products Shown: Little Italy Sky Blue 6.5cm x 20cm, Khadi Earthen 22.5cm x 22.5cm, Little Bricks Gloss Blue 5cm x 15cm, Little Bricks Gloss Sky 5cm x 15cm Pattern stops asking permission: The single patterned feature wall is giving way to rooms where several prints happily live together. A tiled floor might meet striped fabric, a small-scale wallpaper or a second tile used in a different format. The aim is not to make every surface compete, but neither is it to dilute the scheme until the pattern has lost its point. Lesley says: "Pattern mixing only becomes chaotic when everything is shouting at the same volume. Let one pattern be the boss and give the others a supporting role. "A large repeat on the floor can cope with something smaller on the wall because furniture breaks up the floor and changes how much of it you see. Colour is what holds it together, so take one less obvious shade from the main tile and repeat that elsewhere rather than matching the most dominant colour." Products Shown: Lava Burgundy 6.5cm x 20cm, 1860 Malvern 15cm x 15cm, 1860 Josephine 15cm x 15cm Take the colours of the coast and leave the costume: Coastal interiors are moving away from anchors, rope and anything that announces itself as seaside décor. The AW26 version borrows weathered blue, chalky white and faded terracotta, with uneven glazes bringing the softness of colour that has spent years in the sun. "No anchors. No signs saying 'beach'. No ornamental fishing nets. Take the colours of the coast and leave the costume behind. "A handmade-look blue tile with natural variation will give you far more atmosphere than a wall of nautical accessories ever could. Mix tiles from every box before they are fixed so the deeper and paler tones are scattered naturally rather than gathering in obvious patches." Products Shown: 1860 Blue 15cm x 15cm, 1860 Vanilla 15cm x 15cm, Rapture Gloss Blue Grey 3.8cm x 23.5cm, Elysse Denim 20cm x 20cm Stone gets loud: Stone-effect tiles have spent years being sold as the safe neutral. AW26 gives them a much bigger role. Stronger veining, richer colour and larger formats allow stone markings to travel across a surface with fewer interruptions. The result can carry an entire shower wall, fireplace or kitchen backdrop without needing much decoration around it. "A bold vein needs elbow room. There is no point choosing the most expressive stone in the collection and squeezing it into a splashback barely wider than the basin. "Use enough of it for the markings to travel and make sense. Always ask to see several tiles from the design before ordering, because one small sample cannot show the movement, variation or how the repeats will meet across a full wall." Products Shown: Bordeaux Marble 60cm x 120cm, Kitkat Lustre Speckled White 29.5cm x 28.4cm, Venetica Terrazzo Taupe 60cm x 60cm Tiles reach the fifth wall: In bathrooms and cloakrooms, tiles are continuing beyond the walls and onto the ceiling. It is a gutsy move, but it can make a compact room feel far more complete by removing the strip of painted ceiling that would otherwise cut across the scheme. Continuing one tile overhead works particularly well in showers and smaller rooms where every surface is seen at once. Lesley explains: "The ceiling is the surface everyone forgets until the room is nearly finished. In a small bathroom, that white rectangle can break the spell completely. "Continuing the wall tile overhead can be fantastic, but this is one trend where design enthusiasm has to meet technical common sense. The ceiling must be able to carry the weight and the preparation and adhesive need to be right for overhead fixing, so involve the installer before choosing the final tile." Products Shown: Tuscany Lattice 20cm x 20cm, Tuscany White 20cm x 20cm, Zellige Muse Mocha 10cm x 10cm, Zellige Muse Creme Brulee 10cm x 10cm The smallest room gets the biggest idea: Cloakrooms and powder rooms are becoming the testing ground for the strongest tiles of the season. Because the area is limited, homeowners can use a richer colour, bigger pattern or more premium surface without committing to it across a vast room. One confident choice will usually make more impact than several smaller decorative gestures. "A cloakroom is not where you need to behave yourself," says Lesley. "It is often the only room guests see on their own, so give them something worth looking at. "Start with the tile and plan the sanitaryware around the best part of the pattern, rather than choosing a beautiful design and then hiding its central motif beneath the toilet. Lay the floor out dry before anything is fixed and decide exactly where you want the eye to land."
