How to GET THE LOOK

✢ Stick to classic but fairly plain pieces of furniture, then add pattern and colour to the room with cushions and rugs.

✢ When choosing window dressings, go for simple, unfussy options like tier-on-tier or solid shutters to maximise light and keep the look streamlined.

✢ To add a touch of glamour to your scheme, mix in brass and gold touches with side tables, light fittings and kitchen hardware.

✢ choose artwork that reflects your surroundings, as well as your personality, and don’t feel that every piece needs a frame – unframed art has a more relaxed feel to it. w&h
