Scribbled on a jotter by the fridge or carefully colourcoded in a spreadsheet, lists are always revealing whether they're for groceries, countries to visit or beautiful objects to brighten up your home.

Interior motives: what London's most stylish are buying now

Which is why we asked a set of tastemakers what's on their interiors to-do list for 2025. From playful wallpaper to unique lighting, these ideas might spark a list of your own...

The coffee machine - but make it brutalist (1)

Jordan Cluroe and Russell Whitehead, 2LG Studio "We take our coffee as seriously as we take our fashion," laughs Cluroe - a lover of an oat milk flat white-speaking for both himself and plain black-sipping Whitehead, his partner in life, work and design. "When we discovered Anza while browsing one of our favourite fashion stores online, it was love at first sight!" he says. California-based Anza is best known for its directional coffee machine wrapped in hand-cast concrete. "It's cool yet timeless and is definitely on our purchase list this year," says Cluroe. The couple have already made a big 2025 investment in the form of a new property in Shoreditch, which needs renovating. Surely this brutalist bit of kit can wait? "We spend so much locally on take-out coffee we want to up our at-home game," justifies Cluroe. Who are we to argue? Anza coffee machine (£969, ssense.​com)

The artwork nobody else will have (2)

Lucinda Chambers, co-founder of Collagerie The walls of Chambers's west London house are laden with art, but she's reshuffling her collection to welcome a new quartet to her sitting room. Having found Véronique Villaret, a French artist who collaborates with Christian Dior and Pierre Frey, on Instagram, she invited her to be part of Collagerie's Art Shop.

"They're just so sensational and uplifting," she says of Villaret's graphic schemes. Chambers has them made to order by a print-maker in Somerset and if you buy them framed, the box mounts are lined in gloriously clashing tones. "People can't believe they are prints," she says. Set of four prints by Véronique Villaret (£400, collagerie.​com)
