HOW TO WORK THIS LOOK

l This sophisticated look pulls together gorgeous brown hues from all over the colour spectrum. In contrast to traditional decorating rules, you can mix cool-toned, blue-based browns with richer, warm-toned browns and still create a balanced look. The key is to always keep your highlights warm. Stick to cream, rather than white, as your palest shade.

l Choose soft, abstract or mid-century-style figurative patterns for accent cushions and curtains, they’ll create a fuss-free and artistic look. Photorealistic digital prints are a good choice too, they bring instant, dramatic texture to the scheme without installing expensive brick slips or real wood flooring.

l Slouchy and squashy upholstery creates the perfect atmosphere for lounging. Look out for pieces that are low to the ground and have curved edges, to give an effortlessly cool feel to the room.
