The end of July is already here, and I'm a bit terrified by how quickly the summer months are whizzing by. But as always, another month means another 30-odd days of delicious design launches and releases to relish. As always, I've kept an eye on the latest happenings in the interior design world, and when it comes to fresh creativity, new products, and collaborations, July really hit its stride.
Thinking back on May and June's ICYMI, it felt like we were still settling into the new season. There were a lot of exciting things to inspire design heading into sunnier days, but we hadn't quite gotten into the thick of things. Whereas July, well, let's just say a lot is going on — in a very good way. From vintage furniture collaborations and unexpected partnerships to colorful rug collections and dazzling new product launches from our favorite home decor brands, it feels like each one is somehow better than the last.
The sunshine has been bountiful in London over the last few weeks, so if you are somewhere with similar summer-loving weather, I totally understand if you haven't been as tuned in this month. Don't worry though; I have kept tabs and continued to curate my list of the best homeware releases hitting the scene. Below are 10 of July's best.
1. Liberty x Vinterior
First up, I was particularly excited when the announcement was made of iconic fabric brand Liberty and vintage furniture site Vinterior partnering up for an exclusive range of products. It's a limited, five-piece collection of one-of-a-kind furniture items. Think carefully selected vintage finds reimagined with Liberty interior fabric designs.
Vinterior founder and CEO, Sandrine Zhang Ferron, says, "We've always been drawn to Liberty's uncompromising commitment to craft. Their designs have outlasted trends for over 150 years. The pieces in this collection have done the same. That's the spirit this partnership is built on — timeless design, beautifully made, built to last."
Expect to see pieces sourced from Vinterior's exclusive archive, like two Vico Magistretti C 1960s Carimate Chairs and a 1960s Swedish Lamino Footstool Ottoman, covered in some of Liberty's most iconic prints. But if this sounds like the collaboration you need in your home, act fast, as the collectable pieces are selling quickly.
2. Ruggable x Jungalow
Ruggable has just launched a new collection with Jungalow, the colorful lifestyle brand by LA-based designer Justina Blakeney, and it's one to take note of if you love color and pattern. The collection spans living room, dining room, kitchen, and doormat designs across two design stories, 'Painted Terrain' and 'Woven Modernism'. It's a collaboration of artful, maximalist style blended with Ruggable's clever washable rug designs.
Inspired by Justina's own boho-inspired 'indoor jungle', Ruggable says this collection explores the "intersection of art and environment, where landscapes are interpreted through color, texture, and form, and where traditional craft meets contemporary living." Anywhere you style these floor coverings, a more exciting space is sure to follow.
3. H&M Home's 'Letters From Paris' Edit
I always love to give H&M's new homeware collections a browse because you can always count on stylish buys at an affordable price. And not to mention, they know how to put together a fabulous assortment of pieces with a chic aesthetic. This month, the brand is taking inspiration from the city of light — H&M Home's Letters from Paris collection elevates everyday dining.
From chrome decor that can be styled across the table to bistro-inspired dinnerware and cutlery, this assortment of tableware and kitchenware takes you back to the espresso shops tucked into the cobblestone streets of Paris.
4. NUDE Glass x Giorgio Bargiani Double Pour Mixing Glass
Who better than one of the world's best mixologists, Giorgio Bargiani, to come up with the ultimate entertaining piece? Giorgio is the director of mixology at London's Connaught Bar and recently shared his tips on the cocktail glasses you really need. But this July he's teamed up with NUDE Glass for an exciting product launch — a Double Pour Mixing Glass.
It's a world-first innovation designed to bring ease and elegance to the art of hosting. And that it does. The new Double Pour Mixing Glass features a dual-spout design that lets you pour two drinks at once — talk about being the hostess with the most-ess. Ideal for everything from aperitivos to alfresco gatherings and garden parties, it upgrades your home bar and helps you serve with greater ease, speed, and finesse.
5. Matilda Bea Launches 'Second Helping'
Emerging designers and new brand launches are always an exciting discovery, and this month that was Matilda Bea's (a London-based dinner party and hosting stylist on Instagram) launch of her decor company, Second Helping. Built around the rituals of modern hosting, Second Helping creates pieces designed to bring warmth, personality, and playfulness to everyday life at home.
The first collection launches with three hand-painted ceramic butter dishes in a pink, yellow, and blue colorway. It's a limited selection, but curated and thoughtful — especially if you are a fan of Damson Madder's homeware line or playful decor. Plus, a good butter dish or butter bell is a detail that will always make your kitchen feel more thoughtful.
6. Colours of Arley x Lucy Williams' 'Take a Seat' Collaboration
Lucy Williams is an interior stylist and the internet's cool girl when it comes to design inspiration. So, when I saw she was teaming up with UK-based Colours of Arley, I knew it was going to be a collaboration worth noting.
The first chapter of the duo's TAKE A SEAT collection centers on a series of vintage chairs, sourced from London's antique markets and specialist dealers, then meticulously restored by hand. Retaining their original frames, each chair has been reupholstered in Colours of Arley's signature recycled chenille. It pairs heritage craftsmanship with bold, contemporary stripes, and it's a range of seats and cushions that will look good in any room.
For this launch specifically, Lucy created a series of bespoke striped patterns inspired by her travels — stripe widths shift in scale, and the colors are selected from Colours of Arley's palette of 120 shades. Think pattern trends and color trends wrapped up in timeless form.
7. Sofology x Calia Italia
In need of a new sofa to refresh your living room space? Well, good news: Sofology is partnering with renowned Italian furniture brand Calia Italia for a new range of seating that pairs the hottest sofa trends with timeless design.
The Sofology x Calia Italia collection features five pieces that showcase authentic Italian craftsmanship, in a range of elevated furniture at an attainable price point. Of course, you can source a big-ticket sectional if you have a large living room to fill, but there is also a wide range of stylish accent chairs. A particular favorite of mine is the braided Giuggiola style, which can also come with hidden storage.
8. Frette's Design Reform
My first introduction to the luxury Italian bedding brand Frette was when experts from the brand told me you should skip a fitted sheet when investing in quality bedding. That certainly caught my attention, plus the fact that it is one of the most expensive sheets on the market, which many celebrities and five-star hotels swear by.
And now, the brand is launching its new Fall/Winter 2026 collection, Design Reform. The collection centers around the brand's luxurious quality, but with geometric prints that elevate the pieces, duvets, sheets, and pillows alike.
Plus, Design Reform extends Frette's home decor range with designer Tara Bernerd with more Lux Avant Garde cushions that combine rich materials and distinctive patterns to create spaces that feel both contemporary and inviting. Your new favorite throw blanket awaits.
9. Late Afternoon's The Redonda Lighting Collection
Late Afternoon always has fun pieces when you want to add a little whimsical decor to your home that also feels elevated and stylish. The brand's debut range of glazed ceramic wall sconces, The Redonda Lighting Collection, is their first venture into lighting.
Building on its reputation for color, craftsmanship, and thoughtfully designed pieces, the collection comprises two sculptural wall light designs available in burgundy, butter yellow, and white. The brand shares that they were inspired by Madrid's colorful architectural landscape, and each is handmade in Florence. How global!
Good lighting should be as decorative as it is functional, and these high-gloss sconces are the perfect way to dress up a plain wall while adding a bit of ambient lighting to a room.
Well, it was a full and flourishing month of homeware releases this July. While I love shopping the new-in homewares section, there is something special about following your favorite designers, artisans, and interior brands to keep up with what they are cooking up.
