Living room

‘We ripped up the floor and sanded the floorboards in here, which were in amazing condition. We had to sand them twice, though, as the first time we oiled them they looked horrible, so we did it again and whitewashed them. I wanted to do a picture rail in the living room, but I didn’t feel like I had the time or the skill to install one, so I created this effect with paint instead. It gave the room a dream-like feel, which is why I stuck to strictly pink and green with the cushions and furniture. I wanted the room to look like it had been dipped in green paint.’

‘I like design spaces that are bright and minimal’

Lindsey has given her living room a fresh, playful feel with a dusky pink and mint ice-cream scheme. The addition of velvet, checkerboard prints and curved furnishings give it a tinge of Sixties-style glam. ‘ We don’t have much furniture in here as I love minimalism, but everything we do have is from MADE.com, and the cushions are bargain buys from IKEA’
