10 New Interior Products That You Will Want To Put In Your Home

There have been a number of new interior products released recently that I have wanted to write about on the blog, but other work and projects have taken precedence lately, so instead, I’m going to compile all of them here in this post.

Re: mix by Little Greene: The upcycled paint collection from waste paint that’s cheaper than your average tin.

This is an absolutely brilliant idea from British paint manufacturer Little Greene. Taking unused, unwanted, and left-over paint returned to their warehouse, they have invented a formula to upcycle it into tins of an interior matt finish in 20 of their most popular and best-selling colours. As well as the appeal of Re:mix being ‘green’ paint, it comes in a lovely tin designed by the freelance artist Caroline Dowsett, and retails at just £28 for 2.5L (as opposed to the standard £52 for the same volume of ‘pure’ Little Greene paint). Re:mix is currently selling as a limited run for the brand, but when I shared this resourceful paint release on my social media I had so many messages from people claiming they would choose to buy Re:mix over competitors due to the clever concept and green credentials, I can only imagine that Little Greene will continue its production if they can.

Hand-painted Chinoiserie wallpaper and fabric from Diane Hill for Harlequin

It’s no secret that I am a HUGE fan of Diane Hill - I have her art hanging in my hallway and I’ve used her work in styling projects (heck, even my phone has a Diane Hill case on it). So, when she told me that one of her biggest achievements to date was a forthcoming collection with wallpaper and fabric brand Harlequin (part of the esteemed Sanderson Design Group), I already knew I would love it before I’d even seen it. New for spring 2022, Diane has hand-painted a stunning range of intricate Chinoiserie designs featuring birds, florals, and fruits, which Harlequin have then manufactured into wallpaper and fabric. Each design is named after a powerful and pioneering woman, with my personal favourite being the pear-adorned Marie (after Marie Curie).

Heal’s launch an exclusive Tate candle collection

For a little home pick-me-up purchase look no further than Heal’s who have joined forces with Tate to issue some of their more popular, own-brand scented candles in corresponding artwork-adorned vessels. The English impressionist artist Dame Laura Knight’s Spring (1916-20) painting is paired with Heal’s ‘Spring Meadow’ fragrance (embodying green leaf and citrus notes). While Sea and Sky, English Coast (c. 1832) by Joseph Mallord William Turner is matched with the Heal’s fragrance ‘Coastal Breeze’ (a blend of green hyacinth, sea salt, geranium florals, and bergamot).

Modern, 3D triangle tiles designed by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec

While not *exactly* new (more of a ‘tweaked classic’), as 3D panels and detailing continue to escalate in popularity in interiors, then there is more of a focus on the Parisian-based brothers Ronan & Erwan Bourollec Rombini tile. The blurb says that Rombini is a “journey made of ceramic vibration”, but to you and me it’s basically a triangle tile that looks amazing when assembled on the wall and comes in multiple colours and three varying sizes. Purchase them via Mutina Ceramics.

Wallpaper Borders by Susie Atkinson

While wallpaper borders might be a bit marmite for some who remember them as an 80’s staple in children’s bedrooms (I remember my own ice-cream coloured heart border with fondness), they are actually brilliant for three reasons: 1 - you can combine paint and pattern in a room without the need for panelling; 2 - they are a hell of a lot easier to install than general rolls of wallpaper; 3 - if like me, you DIY and install your own wallpaper, you can use a border over the top to hide of a multitude of sins such as wonky cuttings and shredded edges. Interior design studio Susie Atkinson has just released a range of wallpaper trims featuring chequerboard, vines, and stripes, with the press imagery being shared all over Instagram framing doors, lining steps, and dividing walls.

Delightful interior textiles by Sophia Frances Studio

The best batch of fabric samples that have I received in the post this year by far is from London-based surface pattern designer Sophia Frances. The composition is first drawn out by Sophia in watercolour and ink on paper, before being transferred using reactive Azo-free dyes on high-quality organic cotton, linens, luxurious velvets and heavy silks. I’m determined to get her olive-coloured Aubrey print linen into my home at some point before the end of the year.

A beautiful burgundy portable lamp from &Tradition

Chargeable, portable lamps are currently one of the key products within lighting design; when I visited Maison&Objet earlier in the year, all the leading home and interior brands had one on display. Probably the best version that I have seen for while comes new from &Tradition (the design company who bought us the popular flowerpot light) who have collaborated with Matteo Fogale on the Caret - a sleek, traditional-looking lamp constructed entirely from lacquered steel (it’s also available in grey, but burgundy is the hero colour).

Lilac and coral storage furniture from Bisley

UK furniture brand Bisley are well established as suppliers of office furniture, but they have been massively branching out to create pieces that work well in a more casual home setting in on-trend colourways. Released last month were two new shades - lilac and coral - for their expansive range of cabinets, drawer units, desks, and lockers.

William Morris Paint Collection

An exciting release for lovers of Morris wallpapers - you can now buy paint shades that match and complement the tones found in the archives. With a chalky matt finish, the paint is being sold under the wing of the Sanderson Design Group, so the quality of the paint is also exceptional.

Garden products made from recycled materials from GARDENA

Last week I was lucky enough to visit the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and it was very apparent that sustainability is at the forefront of garden design for 2022. Rewilding and creating a healthy ecosystem were of significant importance, with Lynne Lambourne’s sustainability garden for garden tools manufacturer GARDENA specifically highlighting how waste products can be used in a creative way (from climate crisis to climate-conscious). Alongside the sustainable garden, GARDENA has released a range of watering products and hand-held garden tools called EcoLine, made from at least 65% waste materials. What really impressed me about this range is that there is no green-washing at play - GARDENA purchased commercial waste to manufacture EcoLine, which has been awarded the German Sustainability Award Design 2022 in the "Vision" category.
