Upcycle charity shop finds with crisp white chalk paint
l Create a palette of pastels that have delicate grey undertones as these will feel more muted than their sugary counterparts. These dusty colours will bring a sophisticated edge and are suitable for every room in the house.
l Look out for patterns and prints that evoke period architecture. Columns, statues, windows and doors are all great motifs to include. Cover floors with period style, too, by laying down budget-friendly, tile-effect flooring.
l Hunt in charity shops and on the high street for furniture and picture frames with ornate detailing. Give them a lick of white chalk paint for a clean and uniform look. Use a little sandpaper to distress some of the edges, or leave them pristine for a modern feel.
