WHY IT WORKS

This maximalist look, featuring tropicalinspired prints and colours taken from nature, is guaranteed to make the room feel instantly warm and cosy.

With a palette of greens and natural shades, combined with lots of texture, this scheme will take the room from bland to beautiful. The look is practical too, with flexible seating, multifunctional furniture and soft mood lighting to make the room feel welcoming for Carol’s family and friends.
