make a move
Moving out from the family home is an empowering experience, but it can be daunting as well. If you’ve just made the decision to establish your own abode, and feeling at a loss over what to do, don’t fret because it’s all part and parcel of this exciting ordeal. Start by understanding that there are things a new homeowner cannot control such as the amount of time needed for the renovation and availability of the fixtures you need, and focus on fine-tuning the things that can be decided way before the renovation begins, like how you want your home to look, the colours that will go into your rooms and planning the layout of the spaces.

hybrid expansion
First launched in 2011, Hybrid is a collection of porcelain ware that combines European and Chinese tableware in a playful, collage-like format designed by Milan-based CTRLZAK for Seletti. It has become one of the brand’s most recognisable, evergreen bestsellers. Ten years after its debut, Seletti and CTRLZAK have expanded the Hybrid universe with porcelain traditions from Africa, Central and Latin America and South Asia. The new collection comprises plates, bowls, cups and jugs with a similar design that sees one half with a European aesthetic and the other half with one of the other continent’s aesthetic.

Seletti Hybrid collection retails from 11,48 Euros ($18.60, for a table mat). Visit www.seletti.it/global…

Layering powder blue with other, more intense and saturated blues can have a calming and restful effect as seen in this bedroom furnished with Ariel Upholstered Bed by British brand Sweetpea & Willow, which pairs…
