For those who shy away from bold prints and bright colours, the quieter look for this season, with its understated palette and relaxing mood, is sure to appeal

Embrace a calm, quiet elegance with gentle painterly finishes, relaxing tones and understated pattern.
Muted patterns, tactile fabrics and curved edges against a backdrop of plaster pink and pale blue create a scheme of pure serenity.
The soft lines of the pale wood furniture set the tone for a classic yet informal dining space, especially when paired with a subtly textured wallpaper as an alternative to paint.
Marble-effect plates, painterly napkins and a woven basket add interest to this chic, pared-back tabletop.
A beautiful trellis wallpaper and textural linens in blush pink and dusty blue hues infuse this space with a restful ambience, while the updated take on a classic four-poster gives it a smart modern edge.
