Supersize wall feature
Fill a wall with character, even in a small room. It doesn’t have to be a canvas – a big mirror or carved wooden panel would be just as ‘wow’
The perfect grey paint
With a touch of warm brown to make it smooth and cosy, and a chalky matt finish to make it modern
Eclectic displays
This look has a distinctly global edge, so accessorise with Moroccan-style cushions, Scandi-geo fabrics, artisan ceramics and crafted lanterns
Accent chair
Let sofas blend in for versatility’s sake, but indulge in a hit of earthy colour on a side seat
Dark-wood coffee table
Add drama and definition with a walnut or dark teak design that’s worthy of being centre stage
