The 12 days of Baresque: Wrapping up a beautiful year in design

As we reach the end of another inspiring year, we’re reflecting on the creativity and innovation that defined 2025. From our 50th anniversary, celebrating long-lasting partnerships to new partnerships formed. 2025 has been a year filled with creativity and connection. We’re so grateful to our clients, designers and partners who continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible. ​

To celebrate, we took our followers on a festive countdown, 12 Days of Baresque, highlighting the products, projects and textures that made the year shine.​

Here’s the full wrap-up of our 12 Days of Baresque, filled with design inspiration to carry into the new year.

1 Perfect Shine

We kicked things off with Shine, an organic decorative wallcovering that truly lives up to its name. With its radiant surface and sleek sophistication, Shine brings that flawless finishing touch every designer looks for. It’s all about polish, precision and perfection.

2 Products for a Perfect Pairing

Day two was all about tactile contrast and beautiful pairings. Our Form Fragments commercial wallcovering and Uptown 4, a durable vinyl fabric, combine to create visual interest and depth, whether layered within a single space or used to define distinct design zones. Both feature anti-microbial protection, making them ideal solutions for health and wellbeing projects.

3 Ways to Soften Sound

Day three celebrated the art of quiet. Acoustic design can be beautiful, as seen in Etch Panel Torus and Box Baffles Uniform Grand, each softening sound while making a visual statement. And coming in the new year, the XL Box Tile takes acoustic elegance to the next level. Stay tuned.

4 Colour Stories

Colour has the power to evoke emotion and transform space. On day four, we shared a spectrum of tones and textures that we loved this year. Glamour in Sage, Highland Panaz in Fern Green, Opera Parisienne in Paprika, Aura Concertex in Day Break, Sericin in the Gilded Age, Walnut, and even the practical elegance of Corner Guard in Amber. Each one tells its own colour story - bold, grounded or timeless.

5 Golden Textures​

Our fifth day was all about a little luxury. Stitched Sashiko PVC-Free, Lush United Fabrics, Luster, CS2 Xerxes, and Baubles added that warm, golden glow. A nod to opulence and festive cheer of Christmas.​

​6 Walls that Wow​

Statement walls took centre stage on day six. From the intricate textures of the Acoustic Textile Prints range - including Braid, Burlap, Herring and Loom - and Zenith, a commercial wallcovering featuring layered geometric patterning and silk-inspired luxury, to the sculptural acoustics of Baffle Systems Stacked, every wall became a canvas. Dahlia Couture, Northern Lights and Loma completed the lineup.​

7​ Design Tips

On the seventh day of design, we’re sharing some tips to inspire your next project. From high-performance wall protection with P3TEC to the smarter, softer, sustainable leather alternative of Silicone, every detail matters. Dive into ocean-inspired sustainably made Ennis x SEAQUAL™ “Making Waves”, and embrace texture and tactility for design you can truly feel. Let craftsmanship and authenticity shape your design storytelling narrative, create calm, restorative spaces that support wellness, and don’t forget, great acoustics are the key to comfortable, flexible environments.

8 Echoes Tamed​

For day eight, we explored the beauty of sound design with eight incredible acoustic solutions. Etch Panel Tesselate, Box Baffles Freeform, Etch Panel Topo, Baffle Systems Yin Yang, Emboss Panel Corduroy Fine, Etch Panel Verge, Etch Panel Kaleido, and Baffle Systems Knotty all demonstrate how to create calm, acoustically balanced spaces that still deliver strong visual impact.

9 Projects We Love​

We’re constantly inspired by the incredible projects our materials help bring to life. On day nine, we celebrated some of the year’s standouts. The "Oasis in the Sky" at Green Moustache, Electra House Adelaide, The Beach Hotel by EJE Architecture, Rituali Wellness Centre, The Ghan to name a few. Each project showcases how thoughtful design and quality materials can transform environments and experiences. View our projects for more of this year’s designs.​

10 Sustainable Choices​

Sustainability has been at the heart of every design conversation this year. Day ten featured materials that combine beauty with environmental responsibility including Ennis, Inlaid Abaca Himalaya Craft, Ion Xorel, Nature, Nebula Xorel, Net Weave Himalaya Craft, Stitched Sashiko PVC-Free, Strie, Timberline PVC-Free, and Zintra 12mm Acoustic Panel. Designing sustainably never looked so good.​

11 Flowing Fabrics​

Soft, fluid, and endlessly versatile, day eleven was a celebration of movement in material form. From the plush Lush United Fabrics and modern Uptown 4 to elegant textiles like Miles, Charisma Eco, Highland Panaz, Shimmer, Bon Bon – Limoncello, Helios, and Skye, this day flowed with inspiration.​

12 Days Wrapped​

We wrapped up our festive journey with a nod to luxury and comfort with Lush United Fabrics. Soft, elegant, and timeless, it’s the perfect representation of everything we value in design: quality, texture, and style.​
