A pale colour palette will make a room feel more spacious. and can still feel cosy if it’s grounded by dark flooring or carpet. Curate your collection of accessorie­s and rotate them using only a few at a time. That pared-back approach will let the details sing.

Asda’s George Home range has all the ingredient­s for a luxe living space.

Top picks include space-saving seating, such as its

Glynn two-seater sofa, £350, and knitted pouffe, £39. Check out the range’s divine details too, such as the Copper-toned Glass Terrarium Lantern, £20, pink and grey chunkythro­w,£18,andcushion­s,from £6 each.

Remember, a relaxed setting should never be cluttered. If you can’t fit in bulky storage, use baskets and boxes. Paint surroundin­g walls the same shade as fitted cupboards, so they recede and don’t dominate a room.
