classic chic

For an elegant look and an easy-to-put-together scheme, you won’t go wrong with classic neutrals

Go for classic neutral pieces for fail-safe style

Put your personality into a small flat or apartment with smart furniture, plush soft furnishings and plenty of chic finishing touches, just as Abby has done so stylishly here. With a one-level layout, go for light-coloured walls and pale flooring across all the rooms for a cohesive feel. Use lots of reflective surfaces – mirrors, glass and metallics – to bounce light around the rooms, and bring in plenty of tactile textures, from rich velvets and chenilles to faux furs and silky knits, for a luxe, cosy touch.
