New English Interiors

Of the countless interior design trends that come and go every year, there is one that endures: the ever-evolving English style. Explore the homes of 22 of England's most exciting creatives, with interiors writer Elizabeth Metcalfe and photographer Dean Hearne.

An inspiration to people across the world, this is a style rich with colour, pattern, and a certain eccentricity. Wallpapers, fabrics, charming details, and lovingly collected objects are all among the key components of a style that embraces individuality and benefits from its layers being allowed to evolve slowly.

New English Interiors explores the exclusive homes of England's most exciting creatives, from interior designers and illustrators to artists and antique dealers. From fashion stylist and designer Lucinda Chambers' colourful kaleidoscope of a home in west London to illustrator Fee Greening's earthy-toned cottage in Dorset, this is a celebration of colour and pattern in its infinite variety.

Other interiors featured belong to the likes of designer Cath Kidston, artists Annie Morris and Idris Khan, and designers Luke Edward Hall and Duncan Campbell. While they range aesthetically from the bold and theatrical to the more earthy and homespun, there is one thing that unites them all: they are deeply personal visual moodboards for their owners. None of them are static either: these interiors are ever-evolving, and that is part of their joy.

From small city flats to country cottages, this promises to be the perfect inspiration for anyone who might want to live with glorious layers of colour and pattern. It's a lesson on how to let our personalities guide how we decorate our homes.
