Living room

‘Bold pops of colour are key to our look, but we also use plants to add shape and wood for texture, while keeping clutter to a minimum so we can showcase our favourite finds,’ says Leila. ‘We’d rather save and invest in a few quality pieces that add a unique touch to our home than rush and buy cheap.’ Fleur was thrilled when she found a beautiful teak coffee table. Although it wasn’t their cheapest buy, it’s solid teak, rather than the usual veneer, so if necessary it can be sanded back and re-oiled, making it a long-term investment. Plus, it’s got a handy shelf underneath where they keep books.
