The style Rules

Create a space designed for down time with this look

Mid blues softened with warm neutrals and natural textures create a relaxed mood. Hints of pure white add a fresh accent, and silver details bring a little polish to this casual style. START WITH STRONG, square SHAPES Give a room structure with furniture that has simple lines to define the space – especially effective in a multifunctional room.

HANG TOUGH Finish the scheme with hard-wearing materials such as broad-weave linen upholstery, heavy-gauge cottons, worn saddle leather and deep-dyed denims for no-nonsense comfort. Add TOUCHES OF RED Bring this low-key look to life with little pops of scarlet on fabrics and accessories to create a vibrant contrast with the warm mix of blue.

Chunky, modern furniture and leather chairs give a dining area a mellow, masculine feel
