Our need for a little tranquillity in our busy lives means we will always have a special place in our hearts for calming colours. But there’s a new shade giving soft greys and gentle beige a run for their money. Sage green. ‘In colour psychology, green represents life, growth, renewal and the environment,’ says interior designer Mel Massey. ‘It can be earthy and warm or cool and silvery, but it’s always more pleasing than challenging.’ ‘If you’re painting an entire room, picking the right finish is key,’ advises Jason de Kauwe at Valspar. ‘Sage can be quite muted, so go for an eggshell finish to complement other textures in the room.’ Pepping up sage with pops of colour will stop it fading into the background. Pastels are a great choice…

A NEW VIEW Designer Terri Pecora’s Plural collection puts the bathroom as the social hub of a house. Designed in collaboration with VitrA and inspired by communal bathing spaces, her pieces – including table-mounted ceramic basins and two mirrors – are designed to encourage sink-side socialising. [Plate mates] A one-size-fits-all approach just doesn’t cut it for today’s most design-conscious bathrooms. With the clue in its name, Axor’s MyEdition tap collection lets users choose from 15 surfaces in metal, wood, marble, leather and porcelain, making the design work for your existing scheme, not vice versa. [Stand out] KitchenAid’s Stand Mixer has become something of an iconic appliance. The secret to its success? Reinvention.

The British countryside offers few greater pleasures than the autumnal walk: crisp air, crunching leaves underfoot and a canopy of gold, auburn and red in the trees above. What could make roaming Mother Nature’s spoils even better? At Yorkshire Sculpture Park you’ll find a world-class collection of sculpture artfully placed in the 500-acre parkland setting. Tucked away in the village of West Bretton just outside Wakefield, YSP has become one of Europe’s most respected outdoor exhibition spaces with an unrivalled display of work by acclaimed artists including Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore and David Nash (his Black Mound is shown here). Alongside the permanent collection, an ever-changing programme of exhibitions and events keeps visitors returning. This autumn’s main exhibition, Sean Scully: Inside Out, is set to be the largest ever presentation…

Since its launch in 1998, Livingetc has been all about championing the new and the innovative alongside the established. This is what first drew me to the magazine as a consumer, and why I feel privileged to be editing it now. We look to push our readers to be braver, bolder, cooler. Take the house features in this issue. Interior designer Lucinda Loya’s Kentucky mansion (page 112) is rebellious, maximalist to the extreme, while stylist Susy Parker’s standout renovation in Devon (page 138) brings Dalston edge to a trad country pad. We are passionate about this kind of fresh thinking. It’s with this spirit in mind that I’d like to pay tribute to Ruth Aram, a leading light of our industry who sadly passed away this September after a battle…

Freshly plucked from the vegetable patch, this piercing crimson hue with purple undertones made its mark on the autumn/winter runways, with MaxMara biker jackets to leather knee-high boots at Giambattista Valli and asymmetrical knits at Prabal Gurung. Teetering on raspberry and stopping just short of burgundy, this shade is a one-stop ticket to instant, autumnal-feel interiors – see sofa Workshop’s velvet Eden snuggler and Audenza’s Tibetan sheepskin accessories for soft-to-touch pieces that are easy on the eye. and for an allotment-inspired hue with a groovier edge, check out Verner Panton’s 1968 Flowerpot pendant… Use the Ownable app to buy now Download the app to buy with ownable…

If you thought the monochrome trend was a one-trick pony, think again; the classic two-tone is being taken to dizzying new heights this autumn with a throwback to the Op Art movement of the Sixties. Taking its cues from artists Bridget Riley and Victor Vasarely, designs are set to disorientate with abstract patterns, punchy geometrics and trompe-l’oeil effects. Dazzling the FROW, Jonathan Anderson brought rock ’n’ roll edge to the winter coat with zigzagging stripes at Loewe. Every bit as mind-bending, the delicate lines on West Elm’s Optic Lines rug appear to almost vibrate across its surface. Stuck in a decorating rut? Time to change your perspective.

How many stars are there in the sky? From Sheena and Paul Murphy’s house in the Catskills, New York, it seems like an infinite number. Their weekend getaway home is just two and a half hours from their Brooklyn apartment, but it feels like a world away. Every view is wider, every sound is crisper and every star is shinier. ‘We can see them from our bed at night,’ says Sheena. ‘We’ve also seen deer, raccoons, foxes and a bear’s paw print in the snow.’ The couple decided to find a vacant plot of land and build when Sheena became pregnant with their daughter Matilda, now three. For them, it was a chance to disconnect from the city grind and realign themselves with family, friends and nature, in a location…

RAW MATERIALS For a bathroom that oozes spa-like style, draw inspiration from the natural world and introduce textured, tactile surfaces. Think weathered woods, aged finishes, reclaimed materials and handmade tiles. The focus should be on harnessing a rough-luxe vibe with mod-cons. Sharpen the contrast between raw stone and exposed timber by choosing crisp sanitaryware in minimalist shapes. ‘Wood-look porcelain tiles are a strong staple for this season’s rustic trend, providing an earthy neutral base for a range of bathroom styles,’ adds Yousef Mansuri, head of retail design at CP Hart. CANDY POP COLOURS Inspiration for this look can be traced back to decorator David Hicks, with his use of psychedelic patterns and poppy hues. Adopt the trend with patterned tiles and bath linens – think large-scale florals or retro geometrics…

[Hidden gem] A trip to Tulum wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Chamico’s – a no-frills fish shack tucked away at the edge of Soliman Bay.
