Check out our latest blog post ‘How to use retro design stylishly’. Mid-century modern interiors are a fine line between classic style and old-fashioned nostalgia. The style's clean lines and natural shapes will always be popular, but there is a risk of making rooms that feel more like museum exhibits than modern homes. The key is to find a balance between classic pieces and new ones that show how people live today.

We thought we’d ask around to see what the consensus is on how to decorate your home in a mid-century modern style that honours the design principles of the time while still looking modern and liveable. Which furniture pieces to focus on first, how to use colour and materials, and the mistakes that make rooms feel like they're stuck in the past.

Check out our latest blog post ‘How hiring based on skills is becoming more popular’. There is a small, but big change happening in the way businesses hire people. More and more companies are moving away from traditional hiring methods that put a lot of weight on degrees, job titles and years of experience.

Instead, they are using skills-first hiring, which is more practical and open-minded. As sectors change quickly and there aren't enough skilled workers, employers are reevaluating what makes a candidate desirable.

Check out our latest blog post - Pantone Colour of the Year 2026 – Cloud Dancer. Each December, the Pantone Colour Institute reveals its Colour of the Year — a hue that’s meant to capture the cultural mood and influence design, fashion and interiors across the coming 12 months. For 2026, Pantone made a striking choice (PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer), a soft, billowy off-white that’s unlike anything the institute has picked before. Rather than a stark, clinical white, it’s a softer, airy off-white with just enough warmth and subtle tone to feel calm and inviting.

It evokes imagery of drifting clouds, light fabric billowing in a breeze, or sunlight filtered through mist, a colour that suggests peace rather than demands attention. According to Pantone, Cloud Dancer symbolises clarity, serenity and quiet reflection in a world that often feels fast-paced and noisy. It’s intended as a kind of visual “blank slate”, encouraging space for fresh ideas, focus and creativity to take root. www.careersindesign.com/blog/pantone-colour-of-the-year-2026-cloud-dancer

Check out our latest blog post “What Type of Job Interviews are Best?”. Interviews have been a big part of hiring for a long time. In theory, they give both the company and the candidate a chance to see if they are a good fit, have the right skills, and have the potential to do the job. But in real life, people have very different ideas about interviews. Some people think they are an important part of their jobs, while others think they are stressful, out of date, or even biased.

As virtual platforms and AI-led interviews become more common, people's ideas are changing quickly. Let's find out what people truly think about the three main types of interviews: in-person, virtual and AI. Let's also talk about why it's more vital than ever to create precise briefs.
