Staying In

 Channel Neo Deco At Home

The biggest trend in the world of interior design right now? If you ask Pinterest (and its annual Predicts report, which dropped earlier this week), the answer will be Neo Deco. ‘A modern twist on Art Deco, it channels the elegance of the 1920s and 30s into today’s spaces with sleek finishes, bold geometric shapes – from chevrons to fan arches – and gleaming touches of chrome or brass,’ highlights Sydney Stanback, Global Head of Trends and Insights at Pinterest. Think swinging pendant lamps, golden bar trolleys, vintage prints and marble accents. But to avoid things feeling cluttered or uncoordinated, Sydney recommends starting with one statement item: ‘Invest in hero pieces like sculptural lighting or oversized mirrors. You can explore secondhand shops and markets to find these pieces; it’s an affordable and sustainable way to tap into the Neo Deco look.’ For more interiors inspiration, see our guide here.

Going Out

Get A Party Season Glow-Up

In between parties this December, find 90 minutes to squeeze in a pampering session at hair salon Jo Hansford, which has collaborated with Harley Street aesthetic practitioner and registered nurse Emma Wedgwood to create the new Glow & Blow treatment. It combines Wedgwood’s signature dermal rejuvenation (a collagen-stimulating microneedling treatment that revives dehydrated skin – it’s not painful, we promise) with Hansford’s Kérastase Fusio-Dose conditioning ritual and a legendary blow dry finish. The result? Skin that is next-level soft, and silken hair ready for swishing around town. Prepare for compliments galore. £350, book at johansford.com

Whatever You Do, Don’t

Write off Nice as a summer destination. Our interiors editor Carole Annett visited this winter and wrote about how lovely it was off-season – particularly when staying at the idyllic Hôtel du Couvent near the old town.
