With each new release, Baya refines the language of living, elevating soft furnishings from final details to foundational elements of a well-designed space. The luxury textile brand’s Summer 2025/26 collection (which launches this month) continues this evolution with quiet confidence, presenting a study in texture, tone, and form that invites spaces to feel both grounded and alive.
Baya’s head designer Hannah Middleton leads with restraint and intention, focusing on material integrity, sculptural silhouettes, and enduring palettes that reject the transience of trend. This season, wool, linen, cotton, and velvet once again form the foundation, celebrated not just for their tactility and durability, but for their capacity to bring depth and resonance to contemporary interiors.
The season’s palette is intentionally muted, designed to foster a sense of restoration. Deep greens, soft browns, and pale blues are punctuated by chestnut pink, a gentle counterpoint that lifts without overwhelming. “These colours work best when paired with natural textures like wool, timber, and ceramic,” notes Middleton, emphasising the sensory impact of immersion.
Beyond the interior, Baya’s outdoor collection continues to expand with pieces entirely made from recycled PET. Durable yet decadent, these cushions and rugs are designed with the same aesthetic integrity as their indoor counterparts, bringing a sense of ease and intention to open-air living.
Here, we share our editors’ picks from the collection, as well as a few updated pieces that have our attention, all of which have the capacity to transform a space.
01. Marlow Rug
Anchoring the Summer 2025/26 collection is the Marlow rug, a striking introduction to Baya’s growing design lexicon. Its architectural profile and interplay of clay-pink loops against burgundy cut pile create a dialogue between softness and structure, crafted entirely from New Zealand wool.
02. Sandringham Rug
This season, the much-loved Sandringham rug returns in new hues of Aquamarine and Rosewood, expanding the palette with rich washes of colour that subtly soften the brand’s earth-driven aesthetic.
03. Elliot Bolster & 04. Edward Cushion
The introduction of two new cushion formats — Elliot, a bolster, and Edward, a boxed design, underscores Baya’s commitment to comfort as an art form. Rendered in decadent velvet tones of chocolate and thyme green, each piece is detailed with striped linen gussets, bringing layered contrast and a subtle architectural edge to familiar forms.
05. Lonsdale Rug
Woven from recycled PET fibres, the Lonsdale rug (a favourite of Baya designer Hannah Middleton) lends durability and warmth to outdoor spaces. Available in cumin, eucalyptus, or olive, its contemporary yet timeless flatweave design is crafted from 450 saved plastic bottles. This season, a new 300×400 size offers an expansive foundation for larger settings.
06. Rhodes Rug
In mottled slate or teak, the Rhodes rug brings soft texture and casual ease with its handwoven PET yarn and relaxed fringe. Repurposing 759 bottles, it’s both resilient and refined — now offered in a generous 300×400 size to suit larger living or entertaining zones.
As always, Baya’s summer edit continues the brand’s quiet progression. Centred on rigorous design and crafted for the rhythm of everyday life, the collection reaffirms Baya’s place at the intersection of heritage craftsmanship and contemporary expression.
