Vibrating with pattern, colour and contemporary panache – Eva Sonaike’s designs are perfect for country and town alike. No wonder it’s been a busy year for the designer, who has so far collaborated with CP Hart and Dulux while continuing to expand her textiles and soft furnishings range. If you can’t stop at a cushion or swathe of fabric (we don’t blame you), Sonaike does some spectacular wallpapers, too. evasonaike.com
