The STYLE RULES

Swap traditional greens for a luxe shade of emerald

Combine geometric patterns and touches of gold with monochrome and green for a striking, jewel-rich look. GO FOR A BOLD BACKGROUND A vibrant backdrop painted in emerald green sets the tone for a bold living room scheme. LIMIT your COLOUR PALETTE Choose simple mono furnishings including white upholstery (if you

don’t have children or pets!) contrasted with black metal and brushed gold accessories. LAYER up PATTERN Go for textiles featuring monochrome geometric designs and luxe fabrics such as velvet. KEEP FLOORS LIGHT A light carpet prevents the look becoming too enclosed. Lift with a bold chevron rug.
