HOW TO WORK THIS LOOK

● Deep greens and blues evoke a calming atmosphere that’s ideal for concentrating on cosy autumn activities, whether that’s settling down with a copy of HomeStyle or enjoying your favourite Scandi drama. Don’t be afraid to delve into dark shades and offset the moody tones with warm highlights in ochre and mustard. The light from candles and warm white bulbs cast a comforting glow against dark walls and will help create snug vibes on winter evenings.

● Achieve texture by adding patterns and prints that look like they’ve been pulled straight out of a school reference book. Think orderly lines of butterflies and bugs, detailed botanical illustrations and playful animals. Foliage is a key element to this look, so if you don’t have green fingers, include it in your wallpaper or fabric.

● A sweep of parquet-effect flooring will upgrade the scholastic vibe. For top marks, finish off with piles of vintage books.
