Staying In

Tile The Bathroom In Style

Some people paint, some wallpaper – but most like to give their bathroom the tile treatment. ‘A carefully chosen tile scheme can make a bathroom feel serene and restorative, rich with texture, or quietly playful depending on the story you wish the space to tell,’ says Grazzie Wilson, Head of Creative at Ca’ Pietra. ‘And that sense of atmosphere is what turns an everyday room into somewhere you genuinely enjoy spending time.’ There’s also plenty of room for playfulness when it comes to tiling. ‘Tiles allow you to introduce colour, pattern and texture in a way that paint or other materials often can’t handle in a wet space,’ confirms Lee Thornley, founder of Bert & May. ‘From full wall installations to tiled vanity splashbacks or statement floors, tiles can really shape the character of a bathroom while still being highly functional.’ Whether you fancy pattern-maxxing, colour drenching or all-over tiles, we have plenty of expert ideas in our handy guide to get you started.

Going Out

Book Tickets To Salon Privé

Returning to Royal Hospital Chelsea this April is Salon Privé London, the UK’s most exclusive motor show. Amid a classic English garden party-style setting, the hotly anticipated three-day event offers a chance to get up close to some of the world’s finest cars and classics from the likes of Aston Martin, Maserati, and Porsche. But it’s not only about the motoring displays; guests can also enjoy shopping, fine dining, and plenty of Pommery Champagne, with tempting hospitality packages available to book. Each day offers something different: opening day on Thursday kicks off with signature parades and exciting vehicle unveilings, while Friday is Ladies’ Day, where guests are encouraged to don their finest attire and catch displays like Lotus Drivers Club’s 50th Anniversary showcase. The grand finale is Supercar Saturday, where visitors can expect a special Italian Glamour presentation from Maserati Club UK, a line-up of limited production supercars from SCC Private Members Club and much more. 16 – 18 April 2026, salonprivelondon.com 

Property Of The Day

If there’s one man always guaranteed to make a grand entrance on the red carpet, it’s Colman Domingo. The former Met Gala co-chair is known for standing out, often forgoing the usual penguin tuxedo for a bold print, bright colour or daring cape. And though you may never be able to recreate his most iconic looks, you can do one better by snatching up his LA home.
