Emma’s style tips

Personalise the room by including conversation starters. Interesting coffee table books, trinkets you’ve picked up on your travels or statement accessories that will catch your guests’ attention.

Use mood lighting to bring a room to life. A mix of floor and table lamps will create a cosy ambience. Dimmer switches will soften the light output, making it feel even cosier.

Bring the scheme together with a large rug. Choose one or two colours that are already in the room and make sure it’s large enough to stretch to both sofas.
