We were absolutely delighted when both FLOOR_STORY and Sancal asked us to lend a hand, we love both of these brands for their commitment to beautiful and interesting design. Here’s how we brought it together…

We saw a bounty of delights at London Design Festival. We were so inspired, we thought we’d better capture our key favourites here to share and return to over and over again…

Milan Design Week once again transformed the city into a showcase of ideas, craftsmanship and experimentation. Across Salone and Fuorisalone, a few clear themes emerged, pointing towards a more sensory, material-led and experience-driven future for design.

There’s one sustainability strategy more powerful than recycled materials, greener products, or even circular procurement:

Longevity.

The longer a space or product lasts, the fewer resources we use over time.

Discover how to reduce the carbon footprint of your office fit-out through material choices, circular procurement, and smarter design decisions.

Outside space is often treated as an optional extra, a nice-to-have balcony, a roof terrace, or a courtyard squeezed into a planning application. From a design perspective, that framing misses the point entirely.

In this feature, we sit down with garden designer Mark Hardy. Known for his unique approach, Mark focuses on seamlessly connecting outdoor spaces to the architecture they surround, creating immersive and comfortable environments that feel as though they have naturally evolved over time.

Most businesses obsess over strategy, marketing, technology and people. Far fewer stop to consider one of the most influential assets they already own: their space.

Scandinavian design has shaped modern interiors more than almost any other design movement. From London apartments to contemporary offices around the world, its influence is unmistakable: thoughtful layouts, natural materials, beautifully crafted furniture and spaces designed around people.

In fact, Scandinavian design remains one of the most frequently referenced styles in client briefs, particularly in workplace design.

Hiring an interior designer for your home isn’t about cushions. Let’s get that myth out of the way immediately.

It’s about making smart decisions – financially, emotionally and practically – that pay you back over years, not weeks.

Colour isn’t just about what you choose — it’s about how you apply it.

In interior design, colour theory goes beyond palettes into technique. The same colour can feel energising, calming, dramatic or subtle depending on how it’s layered, blocked or extended across a space. Understanding how to use colour is what separates confident interiors from accidental ones.

Trifle’s founder Emma Morley joins the 2026 Mix Awards judging panel.

For years, workplace design asked the wrong question: How many desks do we need? In 2026, the question is far more interesting — and far more strategic: What is the office actually for?

Every October, Decorex International takes over Olympia London and becomes the beating heart of the UK’s interior design industry. It’s a show that never stands still — where craftsmanship, innovation, and heritage meet to shape what’s next in contemporary interiors.

Step into PAD with us at Trifle. For anyone obsessed with materiality, colour, and character, PAD is like stepping into a beautifully curated conversation between the past and the possible.

If the last decade and a half has taught us anything, it’s that colour is not just decorative — it’s deeply emotional and deeply personal. At Trifle* we've never been shy about colour. We champion it. We study it. We absorb it from the world around us. We play with it until it tells the right story.

We have always been acutely aware that open-plan offices can create health and productivity problems for many people. Noise, distractions and soullessness are all regular  complaints where open plan is the only type of space on offer. For neurodivergent people the challenge of open plan is often intensified;  According to BBC research, employees and visitors with neurodiverse conditions often process sounds, sights, and smells differently than other staff might.

At Trifle, we have always advocated for inclusive offices that have a full range of space-type to suit both the work that is being done and the person who is working there.

Mental Health Week 2025 spotlighted the power of community—and it got us thinking. At Trifle*, we’ve always believed that great workplace design goes beyond function; it creates moments of connection, encourages collaboration, and responds to how work—and workers—are evolving. This week, we’re reflecting on the spaces we’ve shaped to do just that.

Discover why slow decorating is the interior design trend taking over in 2025. At Trifle, we create intentional, sustainable interiors for homes, workspaces and hospitality—designed to last, connect and tell a story.*

In a world where consumer trust, authenticity and emotional connection are increasingly valued, storytelling has emerged as one of the most powerful tools in a designer’s kit. At our recent panel, we explored how narrative is being used to shape interiors, products and brands—from concept to execution, from archive to innovation.
