“Embrace a laid-back approach to styling to help you relax and unwind - think comfy cushions, tactile rugs and soft throws. Layering textiles in a mixture of classic prints like gingham and plaid will create a welcoming, lived-in feel. Stick to a palette of muted hues to avoid the look becoming too overbearing.” ​

Natural Glow

“Good lighting affects the mood and feel of a space so it’s important to get it right. A combination of ceiling shades and table lamps will ensure that lighting adapts to the different uses of a space. Opt for table lamp with a taper shade to create a warm and welcoming ambient light, perfect for a cosy evening in.”
