This Tuesday let’s talk about coordination over matching!

Design should foster connections, but it can often be tempting to rely solely on symmetry. While this aspect is important, you can maintain continuity in colour, patterns, and materials while ensuring a cohesive look. It's crucial to integrate the design elements without making them identical. Making your space thoughtful and connected.

Swipe for some useful tips! Hoping these help with your design journey.

Let's talk Penny Tile!

Known for its small, coin-sized circles, penny tile has been a fixture in interiors since the early 1900s. It became a favourite in bathrooms, kitchens, and public spaces because it’s durable, provides good grip, and can wrap around tricky surfaces.

These days, this timeless material is returning with a fresh twist. Soft neutrals, tonal variations, and subtle patterns are breathing new life into penny tile, giving it a modern vibe while keeping the charm and craftsmanship that have always made it special.

We love it for this very reason: it brings nostalgia without feeling old-fashioned. A beautiful detail that adds loads of texture and personality to any space.

What do you guys think of penny tile? Yes or no?
