If you're a fan of colour in your home, then there's also an interiors trend that you may also want to take note of this year.
Colour drenching is predicted to be a huge hit for 2025 and involves using one colour on all surfaces in a room - even down to the light switches and skirting boards.
Experts say it makes rooms seem bigger by allowing walls, ceilings and built-in cupboards to all seamlessly blend in together.

By painting everything in the same shade, you eradicate any strong contrasts or harsh lines and instead allow the eyes to glide over a room.
'Colour drenching simply means painting everything the same shade: the walls, woodwork, ceiling and even radiators or furniture,' the experts at British paint and wallpaper manufacturer Farrow & Ball said.
'It's become more and more popular recently, but this way of decorating is far from a fleeting trend.
'Whether you want to make a room feel bigger and lighter or cosy and inviting, there's a way to make colour drenching suit you – it's all about which colour you choose.'

13 years ago Lena Dunham was the ‘voice of her generation' – now she's back
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Over a decade ago Girls' Lena Dunham delivered the line that defined an era of TV – now she's bring viewers along for the ride with her new Netflix show, Too Much. The 10-episode series follows a New York creative and British romance movie lover, Jessica (Hacks star Megan Stalter), who moves to London after a bad break-up and quickly strikes up a relationship with chaotic musician Felix (The White Lotus' Will Sharpe). The show leans right into the messiness of life with two imperfect protagonists trying to process their own life traumas while building a new future together. This relatable, vulnerable quality that Dunham, 39, imbues into her shows has long been a topic of discourse ever since her seminal 2012 HBO show Girls hit screens, featuring the iconic line delivered in the pilot episode. 'I don't wanna freak you out, but I think I may be the voice of my generation. Or at least, a voice of a generation,' her character Hannah Horvath confidently proclaims. Over 13 years on, and as she introduces a new complicated protagonist to the small screen, Lena reflected on the quote's larger-than-life legacy to Metro at the UK premiere of Too Much in London. @hbo Me, unprompted. #GirlsHBO #HBO ♬ original sound – HBO – HBO '[A] voice of a generation was always meant to be a joke… I can't even remember the line anymore. I think what's so important is that no one can be the voice of women, no one can be the voice of any community. 'A generation isn't a monolith, and something I love about my generation is the diversity of perspective. I feel like if I can bring light to a specific kind of experience that I'm connected to, that's wonderful. But what I'm most excited about is seeing all kinds of shows that tell all kinds of stories. 'I think British TV is a great place for that. I've just been watching What It Feels Like For A Girl, and it's so beautiful. I just feel so excited when I see a new voice that is telling such a specific and personal story. 'I didn't know what it was like to grow up queer in the early 2000s in Nottingham, but now I do… so that's always what I'm trying to do,' she said. In an interview with The New Yorker this month, she revealed that she had firmly decided against starring in her new show, with no plans to repeat the same scrutiny that came with starring in Girls. As for whether she had offered the 34-year-old any advice on how to handle being a Lena Dunham leading lady, she said:'Meg is her own incredible person, and she is so self-possessed. 'I learned so much from her, and I wish I'd had her in my ear when I was on a show. She [is] just is so elegant and wise and funny, so she's got it all covered.' While Too Much fostered fresh friendships for Dunham, there were also reunions including with ex-Girls star Michael Zegen who plays Jessica's ex-boyfriend. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Since the show is told from Jessica's perspective – who is clearly still reeling from her breakup – his character, Zev, doesn't come across in the most favourable light. 'When I was first approached to do this, I know Lena because I had done Girls years ago, she texted me and was like, 'I want you for this this role' and obviously you say yes if Lena texts you and asks you to do her show,' he explained about how he ended up in Too Much. After playing another unfavourable ex, Joel, in Marvelous Mrs Maisel l, however, there was some wariness. 'I read it and I was like, 'oh man, like he's another unlikable guy who, the more you get to know him, the more you're like, oh, maybe, yeah, right.' More Trending There was no hesitation. I was still gonna do it, obviously, but yeah, there, there are some parallels between him and Joel.' In the end he's taken the accidental typecasting with grace, joking: 'Someday I would love to get offered something where people like the character immediately.'

13 people driven to suicide by the Post Office Horizon scandal, inquiry finds
The Post Office Horizon scandal likely drove at least 13 people to suicide, the public inquiry has found. Chairman Sir Wyn Williams said a further 59 victims considered taking their own life after being accused of wrongdoing based the faulty software. A first tranche of the public inquiry's final report into the scandal laid bare the devastating consequences for victims and their families, from police investigations to convictions and imprisonment. Sir Wyn said around 10,000 people are eligible to submit compensation claims following what has been dubbed as the worst miscarriage of justice in British legal history. It is thought approximately 1,000 people have been wrongly prosecuted and convicted across the UK between 1999 and 2015, with somewhere between 50 and 60 people prosecuted but not convicted, he said. Those who walked free from court still faced being 'ostracised in their local community', the report noted. Lead campaigner and former subpostmistress Jo Hamilton said the report 'shows the full scale of the horror that they unleashed on us'. The scandal was propelled into the spotlight in January last year following the airing of ITV's drama Mr Bates Vs The Post Office, starring actor Toby Jones about Sir Alan Bates, former sub-postmaster and founder of the Justice for Subpostmasters Alliance. Ex-Post Office chief executive Paula Vennells is accused of overseeing a huge number of wrongful prosecutions and convictions, and was in post at the time Sir Wyn said bosses should have known Horizon was faulty. The chairman's 162-page report criticised the 'unnecessarily adversarial attitude' of the Post Office and its advisers towards making compensation offers to victims and that the organisation and the Government 'simply failed to grasp how difficult it would be to provide appropriate financial redress'. Sir Wyn's report said 59 victims of the scandal contemplated suicide with 10 attempting to take their own lives. The retired judge said there was a 'real possibility' 13 people took their own lives as a result of the suffering they endured. He said: 'I should stress that whilst I cannot make a definitive finding that there is a causal connection between the deaths of all 13 persons and Horizon, I do not rule it out as a real possibility. 'It is also possible that more than 13 persons, as indicated by the Post Office in response to the inquiry's requests in March 2025, died by suicide but that some deaths have not been reported to the Post Office or the inquiry.' Martin Griffiths deliberately stepped in front of an oncoming bus on September 23, 2013. He had begun to suffer shortfalls in branch accounts in 2009 and, in the four years which followed, sought assistance from the IT helpdesk without success, the report said, adding that he was given notice in July 2013 that his postmaster contract was to be terminated. A Post Office investigator had advised the Post Office that Mr Griffiths was partly to blame for the loss incurred from a robbery – during which he was injured – at his Hope Farm Post Office branch in Cheshire in May 2013, the report said. His death, aged 59, 'was and remains devastating for his wife, children and other close family', it added. Sir Wyn wrote: 'Nearly all the persons interviewed under caution by Post Office investigators will have been in wholly unfamiliar territory and they will have found the experience to be troubling at best and harrowing at worst.' Teasing his conclusions for the final overarching report, which is still likely to be some months away, Sir Wyn said: 'Although many of the individuals who gave evidence before me were very reluctant to accept it, I am satisfied from the evidence that I have heard that a number of senior, and not-so-senior employees of the Post Office knew or, at the very least should have known, that Legacy Horizon was capable of error. 'Yet for all practical purposes, throughout the lifetime of Legacy Horizon, the Post Office maintained the fiction that its data was always accurate.' He made a total of 19 recommendations as part of his report, including that the Government and the Post Office should make a public announcement about what they mean by 'full and fair redress'. In a statement issued after the publication of the report, Sir Wyn said he is 'critical' of the Post Office and the Government for the 'development and evolution' of the compensation schemes. He also said the main scheme, the Horizon Shortfall Scheme (HSS), had been subjected to 'egregious delays'. In his recommendations, Sir Wyn said claimants who apply for compensation as part of HSS, should be entitled to free legal advice. The chairman also addressed criticism of another scheme, the Horizon Convictions Redress Scheme, saying claimants should be entitled to the £600,000 fixed offer even if they submit their own detailed individual claim. The first volume of the Post Office inquiry's final report has published 19 recommendations. Here is a summary of the main recommendations: – The Government and the Post Office should make a public announcement explaining their meaning of the phrase 'full and fair financial redress'. – The Government and the Post Office should make sure all decision-makers across the compensation schemes apply the meaning of 'full and fair' when considering amounts awarded to claimants. – Claimants who are part of the main redress scheme, the Horizon Shortfall Scheme (HSS), should be entitled to free legal advice. – Claimants across all schemes should have the option to accept fixed offers regardless of whether they have made an individual detailed claim or not. – A senior lawyer should be appointed to HSS to ensure offers are full and fair and made promptly. – No claims for redress under HSS should be considered after midnight on November 27, 2025. – The Government should establish a public body to administer and deliver schemes for providing redress to people wronged by public bodies. – The Government should devise a redress process for close family members affected by the Horizon scandal. – The Government, Fujitsu and the Post Office should publish a report outlining a programme of restorative justice. – The Government, Post Office and Fujitsu should respond to the recommendations by October 10. Sir Wyn urged the Government to establish a public body to devise, administer and deliver compensation to those wronged by authorities. The report said the number of people eligible to submit compensation claims as part of the scandal is likely to rise 'by at least hundreds, if not more, over the coming months'. In a statement, the Post Office said: 'The inquiry has brought to life the devastating stories of those impacted by the Horizon Scandal. 'Their experiences represent a shameful period in our history. 'Today, we apologise unreservedly for the suffering which Post Office caused to postmasters and their loved ones. 'We will carefully consider the report and its recommendations.' Chairman Nigel Railton vowed to 'do everything in my power to make sure that affected postmasters receive the redress they are entitled to, as soon as possible'. Business minister Gareth Thomas said the government is 'sympathetic' to Sir Wyn's recommendations. He told the Commons: 'Blameless people were impoverished, bankrupted, stressed beyond belief, lost their jobs, their marriages, their reputations, their mental health, in some cases lost their lives.' More Trending Mr Thomas later added: 'To be clear, I am very sympathetic to Sir Wyn's 19 recommendations today. 'Clearly, a number of them require careful consideration. 'We will respond to them properly, as some concern the ongoing delivery of Horizon redress schemes. 'Sir Wyn has set us a deadline of October 10, and we will beat it.'

BREAKING NEWS Country star Sam Hunt and wife secretly welcome third child as they reveal VERY unusual name
Sam Hunt and his wife Hannah Lee Fowler secretly welcomed their third child on May 21, and they gave the baby boy a very unusual name. It was Cedartown First Methodist Church who first spilled the beans with a Facebook post announcing the 40-year-old country crooner and the 39-year-old registered nurse had welcomed son Weyman Allen Hunt. The unique name Weyman is reportedly of Anglo-Saxon origin and derived from the Old English moniker Wigmund, which means 'man of war' or 'warrior' or 'battle man.' Sam gave his newborn infant - measuring 20.5in long and weighing 8lbs 6oz - the middle name Allen, which was most likely a loving tribute to his own father Allen Hunt. It was Cedartown First Methodist Church who first spilled the beans with a Facebook post announcing the 40-year-old country crooner and the 39-year-old registered nurse had welcomed son Weyman Allen Hunt Hunt and Fowler are thrilled to add a baby sibling for their 20-month-old son Lowry Lee and three-year-old daughter Lucy Louise. 'They're good,' the five-time Grammy nominee told Taste of Country on Monday. 'A little sleep deprived. Our most recent child got here in May, so he's finally starting to sleep a little better.' Sam continued: 'We got spoiled with the first two — they were fairly easy — but Weyman, my third one, Weyman's his name, he likes to beat to his own drum, I guess you could say.' Hannah and Hunt are putting on a strong united front after she called off their divorce in 2022 after accusing him of 'adultery as well as cruel and inhuman treatment.' The married couple of eight years' on/off romance dates back to 2008 when the Georgia native was just a quarterback for the University of Alabama, Birmingham. Sam penned much of his 2014 debut studio album Montevallo as well as his 2020 track Drinkin' Too Much about Fowler and their rocky relationship. The Liberty singer is next scheduled to bring his 18-date Summer Tour to the Lallycooler Music Festival in Sioux Falls, SD this Friday (pictured June 27) On January 20, Hunt was arrested for speeding (85mph in a 70mph zone) and violating an interlock device (car breathalyzer) on Interstate 40 in Henderson County, TN - according to TMZ. The Liberty singer's arrest would have violated his probation stemming from a 2019 DUI arrest, but his savvy lawyer successfully argued it down to a simple speeding ticket. Sam - who gets 7.7M monthly listeners on Spotify - is next scheduled to bring his 18-date Summer Tour to the Lallycooler Music Festival in Sioux Falls, SD this Friday.
