When the nights are drawing in, coming home to a soothing, stylish and totally contemporary mix of whites in varying shades can be really calming. Use shades and textures in subtle ways to play with your lighting schemes, so that you can see the contrasts. Accessorise with a touch of retro-feeling and classy understatement – lilies work well in 50s style vases.
Paint your furniture and accessories to work with your chosen colour scheme for the room. The antique mirror has been painted with an acrylic matt emulsion and rubbed down with wire wool to give a distressed look.  
A modern calm and spacious living space is achieved with hues of white and off whites on the walls, whilst using a mix of geometric shapes in your chice of décor. Circles and squares mix nicely here.
