Personality plus Been bitten by the reno bug? Give your home a unique dose of personality
When the reno bug bites, seize the opportunity to create a home as unique as you – nudge a wall here or there, add colour for depth and furnish with new, old and inherited pieces!
1 ARTFUL VIGNETTE
Add designer style to your home with an arrangement of objects. Here, pedestal side tables elevate a candle bowl and vase, giving them greater presence, while blossoms connect the vigne e to the picture. Note the adherence to a strict, dramatic colour pale e.
2 DIVIDE AND CONQUER
With a largish living room, a corner o en remains unfilled, making it appear stark and soulless. If you can, zone the room into two si ing areas that operate independently, or as one when entertaining. Give your corner the decorative a ention it deserves – casual sofa, occasional chair, bookcase, coffee table, rug – and it’s likely to become your go-to reading spot.
