Autumn, Reimagined
This season’s interiors are all about warmth, rich textures, and earthy tones that invite comfort and style in equal measure. Soft, organic curves in furniture, rugs and architectural details bring a sense of flow and ease, moving away from stark minimalism towards something more tactile and inviting.
Explore the season’s possibilities with us in the B&L Studio.

Texture is often the detail that receives the least attention, yet it’s one of the elements that brings warmth, depth and authenticity to an interior.
This pale European oak combines a soft Scandinavian inspired tone with a gently aged, cross sawn finish that creates subtle movement across the surface. It brings texture and character in a quieter, more considered way, allowing the rest of the interior to feel balanced and connected.
Its light, neutral colour makes it incredibly versatile, sitting comfortably within both contemporary and more traditional interiors. Whether paired with layered neutrals or used to balance richer colours and textures, it provides a calm foundation that supports a wide range of design styles.
The generous wide plank format creates a greater sense of space, while the coordinating wide herringbone offers another way to define areas without losing the continuity of the overall scheme. Used individually or together, both formats create a cohesive look with plenty of design flexibility.
A well chosen floor doesn’t just complete a room. More often than not, it’s where great interiors begin.
Would you choose the wide plank, the matching herringbone, or a combination of both?

As UK summers become warmer, outdoor living is no longer reserved for just a few weeks of the year.
Whether it’s a poolside terrace, an outdoor kitchen or a dining space for long summer evenings, an outdoor rug adds texture and helps define a space, just as it would indoors.
We love the soft scallop design of this collection. It brings subtle pattern and interest while feeling timeless enough to suit both contemporary and traditional schemes. Each rug can be made to bespoke dimensions, allowing you to achieve the perfect fit for every project.
Woven from recycled vinyl yarns using traditional braiding techniques, these rugs have the look of a natural fibre rug with the practicality of a high performance material. They are equally at home outdoors, beneath a dining table or in a kitchen, garden room or other busy interior where you want a softer, more natural aesthetic without compromising on durability.
UV resistant, low maintenance and beautifully hard wearing, they are made for everyday use, inside and out.
Thoughtfully designed, practical and made to last.

A Simple Summer Upcycling Project for Little Hands
With the summer holidays here, many parents are balancing work, childcare and finding ways to keep little hands busy. We thought we’d share a simple project that combines creativity, sustainability and a little home inspiration.
Before those leftover Little Greene sample pots end up forgotten in the garage or shed, why not use them to give an old household item a new lease of life? It’s a great way to introduce children to colour, creativity and the value of upcycling.
We had a Little Greene sample pot in Ambleside left over from decorating our cloakroom, so we transformed an old wooden IKEA step that’s used daily in our kitchen. After masking the edges, my youngest took charge with a paintbrush, applying two coats to give it a fresh new look.
Next, we rescued an old wooden doorstop. We cleaned the base, removed the ceramic mouse, gave the wood a fresh coat of paint and glued the mouse back in place. A quick update that made something old feel new again.
There are so many other items that could be transformed too picture frames, plant pots, children’s stools, storage crates or even old coat hooks.
We’re setting you a Summer Sample Pot Challenge!
If you’ve got a leftover Little Greene paint or sample pot at home, we’d love to see what you create this summer. Tag us and use #littlegreenesamplepotchallenge so we can share our favourite transformations and inspire others along the way.
Little Greene paints and sample pots are child-safe, but if you’re using another brand, always check the manufacturer’s guidance before getting little ones involved.

We love seeing our tiles transformed into beautiful spaces.
This project combines smooth and subtly textured wall tiles to gently play with the natural light while maintaining a calm, uncluttered feel.
Using a textured finish on a feature wall is a simple way to introduce interest without overwhelming the space, while the large-format tiles enhance the feeling of openness and creates a contemporary finish.
A beautiful example of how subtle texture, soft tones and large-format tiles can transform your ensuite into a calming sanctuary to begin and end each day.
Would you choose smooth, textured, or a combination of both?

A well sized rug doesn’t shout for attention, it simply makes a room feel right.
In open plan spaces, a rug is one of the simplest ways to define a seating area, adding warmth, texture and comfort underfoot while helping to create a relaxed and inviting feel.
As a general rule, choose a rug that’s at least as wide as your sofa, allowing the front feet to sit comfortably on the rug and anchor the seating area. If you’re choosing between two sizes and the space allows, our advice is always to size up. A larger rug can help create an even greater sense of balance and connection between the furniture. Ideally, in these situations, the rug should extend beyond the sofa so the entire sofa, along with any side tables, coffee tables and occasional chairs, can sit comfortably on it, creating a well defined seating area within the room.
Here, our Rainbow rug in 170 x 240cm fits the space perfectly, creating a comfortable snug area within this open plan kitchen while softening the tiled floor beneath.
