This little gem of a shop based in Manchester is full of beautiful products from independant makers and designers.

‘Everything that we sell has been carefully chosen by us, with a focus on design, function and simplicity. Our designers and makers have been selected for their focus on craftsmanship, and attention to detail. They are truly knowledgable and passionate about their process; producing high quality, considered pieces (typically by hand) on a small scale‘

We love the curated collection that has been pulled together mixing ceramics, soft furnishings, art and more. The colour pallette throughout is muted, so you will be sure to find something you love, allowing it to work in your home whatever your style.

Be sure to check them out online or visit Form in Manchester Northern Quarter.

There is a plethora of tiles across the high street and online to choose from to incorporate this trend into the home.

Textured and 3D tiles can add depth and interest to surfaces and create a richer look for a bathroom, kitchen, hearth or wherever you choose to use them.

These tiles can lend themselves to enhance and working alongside other trends – denim, natural finishes, geometric are just some of the trends that would work well alongside tiles that have 3D or relief designs or textured pattern or natural style finishes.
