Eight ways to love your home for June

Wake up your walls

Everything old is new again. This wallpaper, a contemporary take on an 1850s Parisian print, is part of a new collection based on archival tiles, textiles and ceramics. We think it’s the perfect way to explore Pantone’s Colour of the Year, Radiant Orchid, a pinky-purple. Try it out on an area rug or even an easy DIY wallpaper lampshade.
