C.P. Hart is thrilled to announce its newest room set collaboration with the renowned designer Matthew Williamson, debuting at its Waterloo showroom this December.
Matthew Williamson is an award-winning, British interior designer known predominantly for his unique and unrivalled use of pattern and colour. Having begun his illustrious career in global fashion under his namesake brand over 20 years ago, Matthew has drawn on his decades of experience and pivoted seamlessly into the world of interior design. Matthew now develops several homeware collections to sit alongside his growing residential and commercial interior design portfolio.
“Bathrooms often feel cold and clinical with functionality dominating aesthetics, so I envisioned a warm, inviting space that functions as well as delights,” shares Matthew.
In this striking room set display, Matthew masterfully blends a curated selection of C.P. Hart’s most sought-after bathroom ranges with his distinctive, handsourced treasures. A vintage mouthblown Murano glass light hangs above IdeaGroup’s new Seven freestanding bath; a bespoke mirror overlooks Buto’s fluted Galiano vanity; artwork carefully selected by Matthew mirrors the bright hues of our Inclusion Classico tiles underfoot.
“Living in the coastal village of Deià, I was influenced by the local Mallorcan landscape and Balearic interiors,” Matthew adds. “The sunset’s pink-gold glow inspired the palette; sand-toned terrazzo, blush pink marble and concrete, rosewood, plaster walls, brass, and rattan.”
“Creating this room set was a wonderfully collaborative process,” says Yousef Mansuri, C.P. Hart’s Director of Design. “Matthew brought a clear and inspiring vision to the project, and from there, we meticulously refined the details, thoughtfully selecting each product and finish to ensure they harmonise beautifully whilst retaining their standout appeal.”

Belgian luxury kitchen appliance brand, Novy, has launched Designer Lighting 2.0, its latest collection of smart touchless gesture-controlled lighting products for the kitchen. The collection includes the Pendant, Shelf and Wall models in a range of new lengths starting from 95cm up to 305cm. In addition, all Designer Lighting 2.0 models are now available in a new Mineral White colourway, together with Mineral Black.
Providing a premium aesthetic for the contemporary kitchen, Novy’s Designer Lighting 2.0 collection has been developed to provide smart lighting solutions for kitchen specialists and interior designers to showcase in their projects. The Pendant is an ideal overhead accompaniment to a Novy vented hob installed within a kitchen island, while the Shelf and Shelf Pro models answer the growing trend for floating shelves as opposed to wall-mounted cabinets in a scheme. The Wall is a further solution that can be used to illuminate a recess in the kitchen or within a home bar, where there is an option to change the colour temperature and hue to create a specific ambience, as required.
The Designer Lighting 2.0 collection is available in Mineral Black or new Mineral White colourways. Every model in the 2.0 collection is manufactured and hand-assembled at the Novy factory in Kuurne, Belgium. Each is hand-sprayed using a specially formulated matt finish powder-coated paint that features a mineralised structure, ensuring it is less sensitive to fingerprint marks and is easier to clean.
All Pendant, Shelf and Wall models in the Designer Lighting 2.0 Collection are available in the following lengths: 95cm, 125cm,155cm,185cm, 215cm, 245cm, 275cm and 305cm. The Shelf Pro models that feature Novy’s Gesture Control Pro technology are available in the following lengths: 125cm, 155cm,185cm, 215cm, 245cm, 275cm and 305cm.
The Designer Lighting 2.0 collection benefits from advanced lighting technology. All models feature smooth illumination from a powerful integrated LED strip line that delivers 3500 Lux, an equivalent of 50% more Lumen per m² than in previous versions. The adjustable light intensity and colour temperature range from 2,700K to 4,000K to deliver ambient lighting with greater depth, and stronger functional or task lighting.
Touchless gesture-controlled lighting is simple to use with a range of learnt gestures that activate the light and adjust the luminosity. With the Pendant, Shelf and Wall models, there is a sensor at the centre of the base. By swiping under the sensor the LEDs are activated, holding your hand under the sensor then changes the light intensity from functional to ambient, while another quick gesture will deactivate it. The Shelf Pro model features Gesture Control Pro with sensors along the entire base of the shelf so the beam can be directed where you want it, above or below the shelf. Holding your open hand just beneath the sensor accesses a palette of colour options, ideal for changing the mood in the room.
Every Designer Lighting 2.0 model in the collection comes with a five-year warranty.

As a leader in the bathroom industry, Roca remains at the forefront of design and innovation, delivering products that blend functionality with aesthetic excellence. In our 2025 Trend Report, we are excited to present four key trends shaping the future of bathroom spaces.
First, the blend of open and closed storage in vanity units reflects a desire for balance between personal expression and practicality. Open storage showcases meaningful items, while closed storage keeps essentials out of sight, creating a clean, customised look.
Next, we see a shift towards softer, organic shapes. As homes become sanctuaries, especially bathrooms, the gentle curves of designs like our Tura bathtub promote relaxation and mindfulness, transforming these spaces into havens of calm.
Our third trend addresses the growing need for personalisation among renters. Cue Roca's Sonata collection, which provides non- permanent solutions that allow renters to customise their bathrooms without making permanent changes, reflecting the trend toward flexibility and personal expression.
Finally, the popularity of warm terracotta, neutral shades and wood-inspired finishes marks a continuing interest in nature. These earthy tones, aligned with the biophilic design movement, create grounding, peaceful environments that promote wellness and stress relief.
I hope you find inspiration in these trends as you explore the innovative possibilities Roca offers, helping you reimagine your bathroom as a space of comfort, beauty and functionality. - Natalie Bird, Marketing Manager, Roca
In recent years, bathroom design has seen a shift towards blending open and closed storage in vanity units. Open storage provides the opportunity for homeowners to showcase their style by displaying beautiful or meaningful items. Whether it's a collection of perfumes or stylish towels, open shelving in bathroom vanities turns these utilitarian spaces into extensions of personal expression. It invites creativity and gives an open, airy feel to the room, adding visual interest while reflecting individual taste.
On the other hand, closed storage offers a practical solution for hiding clutter. We all have items we'd prefer not to display, from everyday toiletries to cleaning supplies, and closed drawers or cupboards ensure these remain tucked away. This approach is particularly useful for maintaining a clean, organised look in a space that often sees high use. Closed storage, therefore, helps keep the bathroom neat while also reducing visual noise, adding a sleek, minimalist touch.
This trend towards a mix of open and closed storage reflects a broader shift in society, where individuality and customisation are increasingly valued. People are no longer satisfied with cookie-cutter designs; they want to infuse their personality into every corner of their home, even in functional spaces like the bathroom. And this balance between display-worthy items and discreet storage also aligns with contemporary design trends, where spaces are not only about how they look, but how they make you feel.
In 2025, bathroom design will continue to move away from the dominance of harsh, angular lines in favour of softer, more organic shapes. This shift not only reflects aesthetic preferences but also runs parallel with broader lifestyle trends like minimalism and the slow-living movement. At the forefront of this design revolution is Roca's stunning Tura bathtub, whose clean lines and gentle curves exemplify this trend.
Incorporating more rounded forms into bathroom design is an evolution of minimalism. Where minimalism once meant boxy shapes and sharp corners, today's interpretation is more fluid and connected to nature.
The Tura bathtub is a perfect example, as it demonstrates how organic forms can embody the simplicity and tranquillity of minimalism while also creating a sense of warmth and calm.
In a world that is increasingly fast-paced and digitally saturated, our homes - and particularly our bathrooms - are becoming spaces of retreat. A bathroom designed with curves and gentle forms promotes a sense of well-being, providing a physical environment that encourages relaxation and mindfulness.
With homeownership increasingly out of reach for many, renting has become the reality for a large section of the population. This shift has brought new challenges for those who wish to personalise their living spaces, particularly in rooms like the bathroom, where fixtures and fittings are usually permanent and difficult to change. Renters are looking for ways to put their stamp on the property, but without risking damage or losing their deposit.
Enter Sonata by Roca, a range of easy-to- install bathroom accessories designed specifically with renters in mind. No need for drilling or screws, the pieces in the Sonata collection can be attached with adhesives, allowing renters to add accessories like towel rings, toilet roll holders and hooks to their walls without incurring the landlord's wrath.
This approach makes it easier than ever to personalise a rented bathroom, giving tenants the freedom to express their style. Best of all, when it's time to move, the accessories can be easily removed without leaving any damage and taken to the next bathroom.
The continuing popularity of warm terracotta, neutral shades and wood-inspired finishes in bathroom design reflects a broader movement towards reconnecting with nature. These design elements, inspired by earthy tones and organic materials, beautifully align with the principles of biophilic design, which seeks to strengthen our bond with the natural world. For people in urban environments, this nature-infused approach provides a soothing antidote to the stresses of modern life.
Terracotta hues, reminiscent of clay and sun- kissed landscapes, bring warmth and grounding to a space, creating an inviting and cosy atmosphere. Complementing these tones are wood-inspired finishes, which introduce a tactile, natural texture that amplifies the room's organic feel. And alongside both of these, neutral shades like soft greys, beiges and off-whites create a calm, serene ambiance perfect for spaces devoted to relaxation and wellness.
Incorporating these natural elements goes beyond aesthetics. It taps into our deep- rooted desire for connection with the outdoors. This design approach allows even the most modern spaces to offer a retreat from urban demands, grounding them in the calming energy of nature.

The arrival of autumn heralds the ideal time to explore Arteriors' latest AW24 collection, where lighting transcends functionality to becomes the centrepiece of any room. Renowned for seamlessly blending craftsmanship with innovation, the luxury brand introduces a range of lighting that glows from within, infusing warmth and style to any environment. More than just illumination, these statement pieces are designed to define spaces, create focal points, and transform the ambiance of a room. Featuring a dynamic combination of natural materials and textures, this collection is crafted to capture attention and elevate interiors throughout the UK.
Table lamps offer a unique opportunity to experiment with material contrasts, especially given their prominent placement at eye level within the home. The Chanell table lamp is a masterclass of this approach, where the gleam of metallic finishes meets the timeless elegance of marble. Its tapered brass shade not only reflects light but also diffuses it, casting a glow that transforms any space. This interplay between materials makes the Chanell a versatile piece, seamlessly enhancing contemporary and classic interiors.
Pendant lighting offers an unparalleled opportunity to showcase innovative crafting techniques, becoming a focal point in any room. The Large Indi Chandelier draws inspiration from the rugged beauty of nature, merging traditional motifs with eye-catching, unconventional design. Its expansive dimensions command attention but its intricate craftsmanship is what sets it apart. Indi is composed of a white iron foundation encased in matching white coconut wood, intricately carved to mimic the silhouette of a cactus. Each arm is adorned with clusters of coconut shells which create captivating shadow patterns, adding depth and drama to any interior.
Floor lamps provide a playful canvas for exploring shapes and forms, thanks to their elongated structure. The Elvis table lamp illustrates how industrial elements can be reimagined to create visual intrigue. The lamp’s gear-like structure serves as both a bold anchor and a source of compelling shadows, adding depth and dimension to your space. The lamp balances impactful geometry with a soft, diffused glow bringing spaces to life with texture, contrast, and character.

Christmas is the season for classic design, yet at sofa.com, we recognise the demand for a contemporary look when entertaining during the festive season. This year, retailers and designers can inspire clients to combine traditional warmth with sleek, modern accents, creating a refined and memorable Christmas dining experience.
For clients with nostalgic elements in their space, such as an open fireplace or herringbone flooring, consider balancing these with modern, complementary pieces like exposed light fixtures. A rustic dining table, for example, gains sophistication when paired with plush velvet chairs, achieving an elegant, contrasting look that appeals to those seeking both comfort and style.
Additionally, thoughtful colour schemes add impact to the space. If clients opt for a timeless red and green palette, incorporating these colours into modern pieces offers a fresh and updated twist on a classic look. This season, blend traditions with current trends for a truly elevated festive setting.
At sofa.com we explore different aesthetics and design schemes to cater to everyone’s taste.

Fitted kitchen design is packed with benefits. You can optimise every inch of your luxury kitchen with built in storage cupboards to create space for all your stuff – from ingredients to cookware, even a desk in an unused corner. But introducing a freestanding element to bespoke kitchens will elevate your kitchen design to the next level. Blending fitted kitchen cupboards with a standalone cabinet or bespoke kitchen island, will add masses more character and functionality to your luxury kitchen room.
Here are just some of the ways our kitchen designers mix fitted and freestanding furniture. And why a bespoke kitchen from Roundhouse Design is the ultimate style choice.
It’s easy to see why modern kitchen islands remain a popular fixture in today’s luxury kitchens. They can create more storage and kitchen work surfaces plus room for an extra sink. We are also often asked to add a seating perch, so bespoke kitchen islands become the communal hotspot of your kitchen design. But it is the freestanding nature of bespoke kitchen islands that adds so much to a fitted kitchen layout. Play around with shape and colour. Try curved ends to break up the straight lines of built in storage cupboards. Or how about an accent material to enhance the freestanding silhouette of your beautiful bespoke kitchen island.
If you have the space, why not add a freestanding dresser to your luxury kitchen. Our Nightingale display cabinet, backed with mirror panelling, will create a striking statement on an empty wall. The more modern Brompton cabinet mixes clean lines, metal frames and integrated lights to display your favourite glassware and pottery. Combining a fitted kitchen design with a standout dresser will instil so much personality – and you can even add this at a later date. Everything from Roundhouse London is manufactured to order. And we pride ourselves on using traditional British joinery techniques and luxury materials to craft the kitchen design of your dreams.
Another clever way to mix fitted and freestanding furniture in a Roundhouse kitchen is by drawing from both our Design and Studio collections. In this kitchen, black matt built in doors from the Studio collection cover three sides of the layout. Then a bespoke kitchen island clad in antique brass creates a freestanding showstopper that takes centre stage. The look is unified by the gorgeous green stone work surfaces. It’s the perfect example of how mixing Design and Studio cabinetry opens up greater design scope for your budget.
Ok, so long rows of shelving aren’t technically freestanding. However, by substituting built in wall units for kitchen display shelves you’ll create a relaxed, unfitted mood in bespoke kitchens. It’s a design trick we are fond of using here at Roundhouse London: simple yet full of impact. Choose chunky oak shelves to display earthenware bowls, jugs and plants. Or painted white shelves that blend invisibly into the walls of your luxury kitchen. You might even decide to ditch built in storage cupboards altogether on one wall. And don’t worry, our kitchen designers will make sure you have enough kitchen storage before you take the plunge.
Whether your luxury kitchen is big or small, a kitchen pantry cabinet is one of our favourite storage saviours. Roundhouse designers can tailor your pantry to your lifestyle with a choice of herb racks, wicker baskets, slide-out shelving or plug sockets to name but a few. But a kitchen pantry cupboard can also create the appearance of freestanding furniture – even if it’s a fully fitted piece. With double doors, wide drawers, lighting and perhaps painted in an accent colour, a pantry cupboard can add so much to bespoke kitchens. It’s the perfect way to create a freestanding look but with all the efficiency of built in cabinetry.

Pull-out kitchen taps are trending and for good reason. Their versatile design can turn your sink into the ultimate cleaning station for pots and pans, while also allowing you for any rinsing tasks with ease, and pour water without having to juggle items into a cramped space.
And if you pick the right tap – a wide variety of colours and styles are now available – you'll also have a beautiful kitchen that looks ready for a photoshoot.
Not sure if a pull-out kitchen tap is right for your home? Here are a few things to consider.
As suggested by the name, pull-out kitchen taps come with a flexible hose that can be pulled out from the main spout whenever you need to conveniently access areas and items that are hard to reach.
In some designs, the tap offers a dual function, stream and spray, which can be easily switched with a button to optimise water usage during different tasks.
You might be wondering: is it worth upgrading to a pull-out tap? Will it look good in my kitchen? And what kind of difference will it make on a daily basis?
The simple truth is that pull-out kitchen taps offer functionality beyond conventional taps. To make up your mind, explore some of the most compelling advantages provided by these kitchen wonders.
Multi-functional kitchen taps simplify your life with a simple idea.
The ability to pull out and extend the spray head allows you to direct the water exactly where you need it – making it easier to clean every corner of your sink, rinse out awkwardly shaped containers and fill pots or buckets on the countertop.
Moreover, with a 360° swivel spout, extendable kitchen taps enable you to make the most of your second sink and give you extra space for washing larger items.
And to take things to the next level, why not elevate your tap even further with filtered chilled, boiling, and sparkling water functions -- for the ultimate kitchen appliance in one tap.
Did you know pull-out kitchen taps can also lower your environmental footprint and reduce your water consumption?
Indeed, used in their spray mode, a pull-out tap can reduce water usage by up to 70% compared to conventional stream taps. The ability to extend your spout and conveniently direct it towards your target dish or pot delivers additional savings, as you'll be able to turn the water on only when needed.
Kitchen spray taps help the way you move around the kitchen as they enable you to quickly bring water to your kitchenware, rather than the other way around.
Beyond its functional appeal, a pull-out kitchen tap is the perfect idea to elevate your kitchen with a touch of style.
Available in a wide range of finishes such as brass, copper or gold, pull-out taps are designed to complement nearly any kitchen theme or colour scheme. Want to explore a few stylistic ideas? Our Pinterest is full of inspiration, with beautiful homes, and stunning design.
Cleaning hard-to-reach items in your sink or large pots can often be a time-consuming task. Pull-out kitchen taps bypass these issues, enabling you to reach everywhere with ease and swiftly clean even the largest pans.
And with the ability to switch between a steady stream and a versatile spray, you can quickly adjust the water flow to suit the task at hand.
Whether you’re washing dishes, rinsing fruits and vegetables or giving your sink a thorough clean, a pull-out kitchen tap ensures that you have the right tool for the job.
So far, we've shown the remarkable functionality of pull-out kitchen taps.
Pull-out kitchen taps, however, can be much more than a mere water source for your cleaning chores.
With a filtered water tap from Zip, you can enjoy the pure-tasting water – boiling, chilled, or sparkling – always available to hydrate and refresh the whole family.
In particular, the HydroTap Celsius Plus All-in-One Pull-Out is engineered to deliver an unrivalled experience, thanks to an extendable hose built for flexibility and a snag-free extendable spray-hose, powered by its patented compact hose management system that can be easily retracted.
On top of providing delicious, instantly filtered water at the press of a button, it also delivers unfiltered hot and cold water for washing up. But, as with all innovative technology, safety cannot be overlooked. That's why the tap's convenient safety lock can be activated to limit its boiling function and protect young or vulnerable users.
And what's best, our knowledgeable team are here to help, every step of the way. From design advice, to installation, get in touch today for your bespoke solution.
Discover how our HydroTap ticks all the design boxes and is revolutionising hydration at home.

Karndean Designflooring, the UK’s leading supplier of luxury vinyl flooring, is forging ahead with its Karndean Evolve® sustainability strategy after receiving approval of its near-term targets from the Science Based Targets initiative.
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a corporate climate action organisation that is developing standards, tools and guidance to help businesses set appropriate targets, has announced that it has independently assessed and approved Karndean’s near-term science-based emissions reduction targets.
Fleur Carson, managing director at Karndean Designflooring, said: “Karndean was founded on innovation, bold action and a pioneering spirit and we are still guided by these ideals today because the future demands change. Tackling key environmental challenges and protecting the natural world have become major considerations for the construction industry so we are proud to be taking a leading role in the building of a greener future.
“Our Karndean Evolve® strategy explains how we will reduce our environmental impact through continual improvement and outlines how we are integrating the principles of sustainability across our global operations. We have taken a science-based approach to setting ambitious yet achievable targets to reduce our carbon emissions and it is highly gratifying to receive validation of our approach from the SBTi.”
Having set out its 2022 baseline for greenhouse emissions from all sources in its Karndean Evolve® Sustainability Report 2023, including those controlled directly, indirectly and via third parties, Karndean Designflooring has committed to reduce absolute greenhouse emissions controlled directly and indirectly by 42% by 2030 and from end of life treatment of its sold products by 51.6% by 2030. In addition, it will aim for 62% of its suppliers to commit to science-based targets by 2028.
Jamie Shaw, global head of sustainability at Karndean Designflooring, said: “Joining the SBTi is a key step toward the success of our Karndean Evolve® strategy as it ensures that our planned climate action is in line with the latest science. With this knowledge we can be confident that our goals are in line with the 1.5C trajectory confirmed necessary by the 2015 Paris Agreement. Achieving this third party endorsement demonstrates our commitment not only to taking bold action but also to being open and transparent as we make progress.”
The ® strategy outlines how the business is reducing its environmental impact and sets out its future plans in six key focus areas: confronting climate change, individual health and wellbeing, sustainable resource use, inclusion and diversity, supply chain transparency and education.
To confront climate change through increased energy efficiency and renewable energy, Karndean has developed a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from sources it controls directly, indirectly, and through third parties (known as scopes 1, 2, and 3, respectively). This plan includes further investment in solar power across its property portfolio, constructing new buildings to achieve BREEAM Excellent accreditation, transitioning to lower-emission fleet vehicles, and increasing recycling opportunities to support a circular economy.
