1Soft edges\"stackBarbara Franz\u00f2<\/p>\n

Organic shapes and sculptural forms dominated the displays in Milan this year. This stack of round, patterned pouffes in a calming teal palette caught our eye at Liberty\u2019s<\/a> \u2018Soft Architecture\u2019 installation, designed in collaboration with Lorenza Bollozi, who used a mix of velvets, cottons and linens to create a beautifully tactile set-up. Other stylish sculptural forms were to be found at Ginori 1735<\/a>, which debuted its \u2018Officina Ultra\u2019 series of handcrafted ceramics.<\/p>\n

In the year that will see the Bayeux tapestry return to the UK for the first time in almost 1,000 years (find it at the British Museum<\/a> from September), textile art has soared to the top of every interior aficionado\u2019s wishlist. Gucci put itself at the vanguard of the movement in Milan, presenting a series of monumental stitched works tracing the house\u2019s history throughout time, right up until its current chapter under Demna.

3Leopard print\"photographer_frankFrank Frances Studio<\/p>\n

In fashion, leopard print<\/a> is often described as a neutral because of how seamlessly it pairs with most pieces. The same goes for its use in interiors, where it easily complements a design scheme while adding a dash of daring. Take your cue from Ralph Lauren<\/a>, whose leopard-upholstered furniture and drapery sit comfortably within this country-estate-inspired setting.<\/p>\n

Go big and stay home\u2026 That\u2019s certainly the lesson we took from the mood-boosting Cole & Son x Vivienne Westwood<\/a> wallpaper collaboration, which features trompe-l\u2019oeil tartans, stripes and these bold, brightly coloured squiggles.

The key tenet at the heart of American designer Kelly Wearstler\u2019s forthcoming collaboration with H&M Home<\/a> is its modularity: all the pieces can be stacked, combined and reordered to suit your mood and home, from the lounge chairs that collectively form a sofa to the tessellating seats and connecting tables. Try mixing and matching shades within a considered palette \u2013 an earthy, terracotta scheme feels very of the moment.<\/p>\n

7The art of craft\"interiorNicol\u00f2 De March<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s one thing that defines luxury, it\u2019s craftsmanship \u2013 and who better to celebrate artisanal talent than Dior Maison<\/a>? This year, the house has collaborated with the designer No\u00e9 Duchaufour-Lawrance to create a set of sculptural lamps in Murano glass and woven bamboo, all inspired by the Corolle silhouette found in its original New Look fashion lines. Presented within a floral installation by the Thai artists Korakot Aromdee and Vasana Saima, the space was a homage to creativity, heritage and innovation.<\/p>\n
