CATHERINE’S TIPS

Messy play If it’s not styled correctly, a modern design aesthetic can sometimes make a space appear slightly cold. Bu er this vibe by adding a lived-in quality to your space through accessorie­s such as a slouchy throw, a pair of textured cushions, a plant or vase of wildflower­s.

Set the tone Allow statement pieces to pop, as seen here with this turmeric-hued velvet couch. Balance bold tones with greys, blacks and whites – and if you’re working with muted hues, get creative and mix di erent patterns to add texture to your space.

Light it up Luxaflex Country Woods® Timber Shutters used in conjunctio­n with a Luxaflex® Roller Blind allow you to maximise light in whichever way you choose, relative to the time of day or even the season. The contrastin­g yet complement­ary window fashions work to reflect the space as a whole, emphasisin­g historic joinery and stained glass alongside modern décor styling, as seen here.
