Interiors AW22: The Estates East Edit

The big statement in interiors for the last few years has undoubtedly been vintage/industrial, and many of us have adopted elements of it throughout our east London homes and beyond. 

But in 2022/23 the vibe is softening and becoming altogether more laidback. Perfect timing as we move inside for Autumn. The shift removes a lot of heaviness from our rooms, also showing in the current colour and fabric trends, which are more neutral. Check out the interiors of the homes on the links too, which are nailing elements of the look, and currently for sale with Estates East.

Creative tiling

Tiling has always been a cut-through way to introduce colour and pattern in our homes, but their uses are expanding.

• Tiling on headboards and feature walls
• Grey is giving way to warmer tile colours, creative motifs and patterns

Pink & pastels

From Valentino’s full pink F/W 2022-23 collection, to Margot Robbie’s outfits in the new Barbie movie. Pink is back, and big in the home. 

• A third of brits believe pastel colours are most likely to evoke feelings of wellness, and pastel pink is the most popular shade, particularly when styled with bronze and brass detailing

Open shelving

• Floating shelves with hidden LED spotlights

Wall panelling
