Blue and green should never be seen is an old decorating trope that New York-based Brian del Toro has blown out of the water with this marine blue wall colour and sofa, which contrast with the yellow-hued peridot green of the chair cushions and backs. Designed for the Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse a couple of years ago, the marriage remains fresh and is an easy and relatively affordable way to refresh a room in on-trend colours.

Bar Luce is just one of the many visually arresting art projects at Fondazione Prada in Milan. Designed by cult director Wes Anderson, it retains the building’s original ceiling, while the interior, with its peridot and jade seating, Formica-topped tables, terrazzo floor and veneered wood wall panels are inspired by Italian popular culture from the 1950s and 1960s. This is Anderson’s second collaboration with the fashion house; he shot a short film, Candy, for Prada in 2013.
